A Guide to Olbia Settings, UMR, Sound, and Chains

Olbia is built for speed - but the real edge comes from tuning the dashboard to match how you trade. This guide walks through every control in the header and footer so you can filter noise, catch the right mints, and switch between Ethereum and Robinhood without losing context.

Open the Monitor and follow along.

Settings

Settings lives in the footer on desktop (and in the mobile menu on smaller screens). Click it to open the Dashboard Settings panel, which has three tabs:

UMR

Set a minimum Unique Minter Ratio threshold. Collections below your chosen percentage are hidden from Trending and Runners. At 0%, everything is shown. Raise the slider in 5% steps up to 100% to focus on collections with broader wallet participation.

Supply

Filter collections by total supply using two pill selectors:

  • Min supply - hide collections below 100, 500, 1k, 5k, or 10k items
  • Max supply - hide collections above 10k, 20k, 50k, or 100k items

Use these together to narrow in on the size range you prefer - for example, small fast mints or larger established collections.

Ignored

Manage your personal blocklist. Collections you ignore are removed from New Mints, Trending, and Runners. Olbia matches by slug or contract address, and each entry shows its chain badge (ETH or RH). Remove any entry from this tab when you want it back in your feed.

Active filters are summarized on the Settings button itself, so you can tell at a glance when something is applied.

UMR (Unique Minter Ratio)

UMR measures how many mints come from distinct wallets. A high UMR suggests organic demand; a low UMR can mean a single wallet or a small group is minting repeatedly.

Example: 70% UMR means 70 out of 100 mints are from different wallets.

You will see UMR on Trending and Runners rows, color-coded for quick scanning:

  • Green - 70% and above
  • Amber - 50–69%
  • Default - below 50%

Tap the info icon (ℹ) next to the chain switcher in the header anytime for a quick UMR refresher. Combine the in-app UMR readout with the Settings → UMR slider to hide low-quality signals before they reach your screen.

If you use webhook alerts, you can also set a UMR threshold on the Account page so only collections above your bar trigger notifications.

Sound

Sound opens the Alert Sounds panel. Audio is optional but powerful during active mint windows when you cannot stare at every row.

Master controls

  • Enable sounds - master switch for all audio
  • Volume - adjustable from 0% to 100%
  • Preview Mint / Preview Alert - test both sounds before a live session

Event types

  • Alert threshold - plays when a collection crosses the mint alert threshold
  • New mint events - a soft ping on every individual mint (high frequency; use carefully)

Visual feedback

  • Highlight row updates - briefly flashes a row's background when it receives new data, even if sound is off

On mobile, Sound is available from the menu overlay. When sound is active, the button highlights in the footer so you know alerts are armed.

Light and Dark mode

Olbia defaults to dark mode for long monitoring sessions. Toggle between Light and Dark from:

  • The footer on desktop
  • The mobile menu on smaller screens

Your preference is remembered across visits. Light mode uses a brighter card and background palette; dark mode keeps contrast low for late-night mint watching. Neither mode affects your filters, chain selection, or sound settings.

Ethereum vs Robinhood

Olbia tracks NFT activity on two chains. Use the chain switcher in the header (visible on the Monitor page) to filter what you see:

OptionWhat it shows
ALLEthereum and Robinhood collections together, with ETH/RH badges on each row
ETHEthereum mainnet only
RHRobinhood Chain only

Ethereum (ETH)

  • The primary NFT ecosystem with the deepest liquidity and longest track record
  • Collection links open on Etherscan for contract and transaction lookups
  • Gas price is shown in the dashboard footer when ETH (or ALL) is selected

Robinhood (RH)

  • Robinhood Chain NFT activity, surfaced through the same live dashboard
  • Collection links open on Blockscout (Robinhood Chain explorer)
  • Gas price is hidden when viewing RH-only, since it does not apply the same way

Both chains pull from OpenSea with chain-specific URLs, so clicking through to a collection always lands on the correct marketplace page.

When to use which view

  • ALL - scan everything during a busy session and let chain badges tell you where each project lives
  • ETH - focus on mainnet when gas, liquidity, and established market depth matter most
  • RH - zero in on Robinhood Chain mints without Ethereum noise

Filters (UMR, supply, ignored) and sound settings apply regardless of which chain you have selected.

Putting it together

A focused setup might look like this:

  1. Set chain to ALL or ETH depending on the session
  2. Open Settings and set UMR to 50%+ to cut wash-mint noise
  3. Cap max supply at 10k if you only chase smaller collections
  4. Enable Alert threshold sound with row highlights on
  5. Stay in dark mode for extended monitoring

Adjust as you go - Olbia remembers your preferences so the dashboard is ready the next time you open the Monitor.
