Key Considerations for NFT Marketplace Development – Tech Stack, Token Standards & Integration Challenges

[Vihan Richard]

I’m currently evaluating options for building a production-ready NFT marketplace, and I’d like to start a discussion around the practical aspects of NFT marketplace development from a technical perspective.

What frameworks or tools are you using to manage:

• ERC-721 vs ERC-1155 token standards

• On-chain/off-chain metadata storage

• NFT minting workflows with IPFS or Filecoin

• Wallet integrations (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)

• Frontend performance with dynamic asset loading

Also curious if anyone has implemented lazy minting or custom royalty logic on EVM-compatible networks like Polygon or Avalanche. If you’ve faced challenges with gas optimization or asset indexing, your input would be valuable.
