# How do I give my NFT Attributes?

Attributes are a very helpful way to keep track of your NFT’s traits, particularly in a generative collection where every piece has common characteristics that can vary in appearance and rarity. Attributes act as descriptors for an NFT. They consist of three pieces of information-- the **trait\_type**, **value**, and **display\_type**.

**Trait\_type** can be thought of as a name for what your attribute is describing. For example, if you are describing the eyes for a generative NFT that could have one of several eye colors, “eyes” could be an appropriate trait\_type for that attribute.

**Value** describes the value of the attribute. In the above example, you could have an attribute with the trait\_type of “eyes” and the value of “green” to describe an NFT with green eyes. You can also add a value with no associated trait\_type.

**Display\_type** does not update anything in Holaplex-- it acts as a parameter for candy machines. It is optional and safe to leave blank for the purpose of minting an NFT on Holaplex.

To give your NFT attributes, simply click the **Create Attribute** button on the **Describe Your NFT** page during the creation process. Enter the attribute’s value and display\_type (if applicable). You can give an NFT multiple attributes. An NFT’s attributes should be visible in its item description after it has been created.
