NFT Standards
Master ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFT standards, metadata best practices, and advanced NFT features.
When to Use This Skill
Creating NFT collections (art, gaming, collectibles)
Implementing marketplace functionality
Building on-chain or off-chain metadata
Creating soulbound tokens (non-transferable)
Implementing royalties and revenue sharing
Developing dynamic/evolving NFTs
