writing smart contracts vs opensea nft creation
I’ve been learning solidity and smart contracts for a week and today I found out that I can create an nft just by using opensea and deploy it and set the creator fee with zero coding involved.
My question is that why should you write smart contracts when you can easily create an nft using opensea graphical interface and what other use cases do smart contracts have?
Some people want more functionality. Most NFTs follow the ERC-721 standard, but you can code in your own interesting features if you want to. I think the most direct feature of coding your own is you have full control of the distribution. Maybe you want to sell the NFTs in an interesting way, or distribute them to certain people before listing on the marketplace. The smart contract can be coded with anything you want really. It’s just a program so, the short answer is whatever use case you want.
