¶ Create an NFT (ERC721) Shop - Community Admin
A Web3 shop featuring ERC721 NFTs offers a decentralized marketplace where users can buy unique digital assets securely on the blockchain. Each NFT represents provable ownership of a one-of-a-kind item, ensuring transparency, authenticity, and true digital ownership. For a community creator who owns the shop, it also provides a powerful monetization and fund-raising channel—every sale or royalty can directly support ongoing projects, events, and community growth.
