Finally, we investigate the predictability of NFT sales using simple machine learning algorithms and find that sale history and, secondarily, visual features are good predictors for price. Third, we cluster objects associated to NFTs according to their visual features and show that collections contain visually homogeneous objects. Second, we build the network of interactions, show that traders typically specialize on NFTs associated with similar objects and form tight clusters with other traders that exchange the same kind of objects. First, we characterize statistical properties of the market. Here, we analyse data concerning 6.1 million trades of 4.7 million NFTs between Jand April 27, 2021, obtained primarily from Ethereum and WAX blockchains.

Public attention towards NFTs has exploded in 2021, when their market has experienced record sales, but little is known about the overall structure and evolution of its market.
