Scope of Work

The project originated from the client's vision to establish a full-stack NFT minting platform that leverages the unique benefits of the Solana blockchain. The primary goals were to create a platform that could support the robust demands of NFT minting, coupled with seamless user and wallet integration. There were significant challenges in ensuring the scalability of such a platform while maintaining fast, low-cost transactions which are imperative in high-volume minting scenarios. The client emphasized the need for a sophisticated smart contract to manage minting processes effectively, alongside the integration of Phantom wallet functionality to ensure seamless user access and transaction handling. Furthermore, the development required implementing whitelist management for exclusive hard-to-access NFT drops, which is a critical component for creators aiming to cater to niche or premium audiences. Another aspect of the scope was the deployment on scalable cloud infrastructure to meet the demands of heavy usage and high-traffic periods, a common occurrence in NFT drops that attract substantial interest.
