How it's made
Challenges we ran into ### Smart Contract Learning Curve - Challenge: First time with Solidity, Hardhat, and ERC-1155 contracts - Solution: Built iterative prototypes, studied OpenZeppelin patterns ### Web3 Integration - Challenge: Navigating wagmi hooks, providers, and chain switching - Solution: Started simple, progressively added features using community examples ### MiniKit & Embedded Wallets - Challenge: MiniKit integration and cross-platform compatibility were completely new - Solution: Extensive testing across Farcaster clients and Base app, trial-and-error with frame specs Key Learning: Web3 moves fast - documentation lags behind, so building experiments and engaging with dev communities was essential.
