What's the Hardest Part of Creating an NFT Fashion Marketplace?

[LilianAnderson]

As NFTs move away from the art and gaming industries and into the realms of creation, digital ownership, and metaverse experiences, fashion is emerging as one of its most promising verticals.

But from the developer's point of view, building such a platform involves more than just minting tokens. It ultimately comes down to solving intricate, multi-layered problems that define scalability and user experience.

Here are a few that stand out:

• 3D Asset Management: To integrate realistic digital wearables that will render across platforms and across metaverses.
• Customization of Smart Contracts: Processing royalties, secondary sales, and limited-edition drops without losing transparency.
• User Accessibility: Non-crypto users should simply be able to buy, sell or trade fashion NFTs - imagine a fiat and easy user experience.
• Security & Scalability: The ability to maintain the high traffic during drops and secure the user wallets.

What do you consider to be the most underestimated technical challenge in developing a fashion-oriented NFT marketplace, as a dev or a builder?
