Research

StarkNet NFT can be used to leverage a lot of Use Cases Our first use case is to implement a imple Merkle whitelist using Merkle Proof and Merkle Root : ERC721_whitelist.cairo

Our second use case is to leverage Account Abstraction and link it to an NFT. Basically the use case here is to bind an abstracted account to each minted token of the collection and airdrop any token to it. This could for example be used for backing of the NFT : Let's imagine each time we mint a token, whatever token we are also sending to the contract will be stored in this dedicated token and therefore becoming a Liquid NFT.
