Hire NFT developers who get token standards and metadata right the first time.
ERC-721 and ERC-1155 smart contracts, metadata and off-chain storage, and marketplace listing mechanics, built by engineers who treat gas cost, reveal timing, and royalty enforcement as production requirements, not details to patch after mint day. Distinct from our general blockchain work and dedicated crypto-exchange builds: this role is specifically about tokens, not exchange infrastructure.
ERC-721 and ERC-1155 contracts scoped to your actual collection mechanics, supply caps, royalties, reveal logic.
On-chain vs. IPFS/Arweave tradeoffs made deliberately, with pinning that doesn't quietly expire.
Allowlist mints, Merkle proofs, and lazy minting that hold up under real mint-day traffic.
Listing and royalty enforcement built to how major marketplaces actually parse metadata, not just the spec on paper.

Hiring for something adjacent?
Answered before you ask.
Our general blockchain work and crypto-exchange builds cover smart contracts and trading infrastructure broadly. This role is specifically about NFTs, token standards, metadata and storage, and marketplace listing mechanics, a narrower, deeper specialty within that.
Depends on your budget and permanence requirements, Arweave is a one-time cost for genuinely permanent storage, properly pinned IPFS is cheaper but needs ongoing pinning discipline. We'll walk through the tradeoff before committing either way.
Yes. That's where allowlist design, Merkle proofs, and gas optimization actually matter. We load-test mint mechanics against realistic concurrent traffic before mint day, not after.
We implement ERC-2981 as the standard, and we'll tell you honestly where marketplace-level enforcement gaps exist, royalty enforcement isn't fully guaranteed on-chain everywhere, and pretending otherwise doesn't help you.
Every way out of this hire is already written down.
Not a fit? Replace anyone in the first two weeks. No questions asked, no replacement fee. We re-match from the same vetted pool.
You pay only for engineers who actually start. Seeing candidates costs nothing.
Dedicated and managed engagements run on a monthly rolling contract. Cancel with notice.
You see the number before you commit. Nothing is added on top of it later.
Bring us the collection. Three matched engineers in 48 hours.
Token standard, storage, and mint mechanics decided up front. We'll scope it before a single contract touches mainnet.
We reply within an hour during our working day in India and the UAE.
