CreepCrew
Gothic-Themed NFT Collection & Minting dApp
CreepCrew is an NFT project that pushed the boundaries of themed web design. The frontend is built with Next.js and a heavily customized Chakra UI theme featuring gothic color palettes, Emotion-styled components, and Framer Motion animations. Smart contracts use ERC-721A with Merkle tree allowlists and eth-crypto for signature operations. The minting experience feels like entering a digital haunted house with atmospheric backgrounds and custom typography.
