9 Lives
Web3 NFT Collection with Cinematic Landing Experience
9 Lives is a full-stack NFT project combining a visually rich frontend with robust backend infrastructure. The Next.js frontend features cinematic scroll-driven animations powered by GSAP, ConnectKit-based wallet connection, and Wagmi hooks for on-chain interactions. The Go backend handles metadata serving, signature-based minting authorization with WebSocket event broadcasting. The Solidity contracts use ERC-721A with Merkle tree allowlists deployed on Ethereum via Hardhat.
