NFT Standards
What is NFT rental, why it matters, and what ERC-4907 adds — the standard's motivation, interface design, and how it differs from plain ERC-721 ownership.
NFT Internals
When you mint an NFT on OpenSea, you get a huge number as the token ID. This blog dissects the bit-packing scheme — creator address encoding and what the blob actually means.
