🔹 Modular & Scalable Architecture – The platform should be built to support high-volume transactions and future integrations like Layer 2 solutions (Polygon, Immutable X) or cross-chain support.

🔹 Security Standards – Smart contract audits, wallet authentication mechanisms, and metadata protection must be part of their delivery cycle.

🔹 Customization & Ownership – A true white-label NFT marketplace solution allows full control over branding, token standards (ERC-721/1155), royalties, and backend APIs.

🔹 Web3 Expertise – The team should have experience with IPFS, decentralized storage, and blockchain consensus models.

Has anyone worked with providers who delivered well on these? Would appreciate stack insights or red flags to avoid.
