What is an NFT actually worth? There is no single right answer — an NFT’s value is an assessment built from evidence: its floor price, rarity, trading history, liquidity and the strength of the project behind it. This page organises our valuation guides into a clear path, from the core concepts through to applying them before you buy or sell.
Valuation here means an informed estimate based on available evidence and market factors — not a guarantee of what an NFT will sell for, and not financial advice. Markets move, and no metric tells the whole story on its own.
1 Core concepts#
Start with the metrics people actually quote. Each of these measures something different — and none of them alone is “the value” of an NFT.

- What Is NFT Liquidity? (Why It Matters More Than Price)
- NFT Rarity Explained: Traits, Scores and What They Mean
- NFT Floor Price vs Volume Explained
2 How NFT value is determined#
Price is what someone last paid; value is your judgement about whether that price makes sense. These guides cover the frameworks for weighing up a project and an individual NFT before money moves.
