IP-NFT Technical Deep Dive: Token Standards, Decentralized Storage and UX

Welcome to this episode of the DeSci Podcast, where we dive deep into the technology behind IP-NFTs and explore the possibilities of decentralized data storage. 

In this episode, Stefan Adolf, a senior web3 engineer at Molecule, and Benji Leibowitz, a former biotech venture capitalist and now a product manager at Molecule, discuss the modularity of IP-NFTs, the advantages of ERC721, 1155, and 3525 token standards.

We also discuss the benefits of Arweave and IPFS for metadata and storage, Lit Protocol and unlocking data, custodial wallets and MPC providers, the SDK for developers, and the possibilities of permissionless minting and open source strategies with v2 and v3 of the IP-NFT.

We hope you can learn a lot about the amazing possibilities of the decentralized tech stack and how you can build with IP-NFTs with this episode and feel free to use the timestamps below to navigate through the episode.
