NFTS RESEARCH WEB3 STACK PROTOCOL

We don't belong in your reality, your real life. In your reality, your real life, you can merely meet our avatars in any version. So, stay alert and beware of scams!

Executive Summary

As the Web3 ecosystem evolves, the need for standardized, modular, and interoperable NFT infrastructure becomes critical. This paper explores how the Web3 Stack Protocol offers a blueprint to structure NFT ecosystems — from minting and metadata to identity and display — in a way that is composable, sustainable, and portable across chains and apps.


Background

The early NFT boom was marked by fragmentation — different metadata schemas, isolated platforms, and vendor lock-ins. The Web3 Stack Protocol aims to address this by defining a layered approach to Web3 architecture, enabling clear modular boundaries for each component.


NFT Stack Layers in Web3 Stack Protocol

Layer
Function
Examples

Wallet & Identity Layer

Manages ownership and identity

WalletConnect, Smart Wallets, ERC-4337

Asset Layer (NFT)

Defines and mints NFTs

ERC-721, ERC-1155, Soulbound, Lazy Minting

Metadata Layer

Stores and retrieves token data

IPFS, Arweave, NFT.Storage

Display Layer

Renders NFTs in apps/platforms

OpenSea, Zora, custom UI libraries

Interoperability Layer

Enables NFT use across ecosystems

Lens Protocol, Wallet-bound NFTs, Cross-chain bridges


Use-Cases Enhanced by Structured NFT Stack

  • Education NFTs (e.g. iBLOOMING) → Modular identity, badge minting, and proof-of-progress tracking

  • Gaming & Collectibles → Plug-and-play with different wallets, marketplaces, and display apps

  • Reputation Systems → Combine ERC-725/735 identity + NFT progress badges

  • Decentralized Publishing → NFT-based authorship, licensing, and proof-of-creation


iBLOOMING Application

iBLOOMING can use the Web3 Stack Protocol to:

  • Separate user wallet identity from claimable NFTs

  • Modularize NFT types (learning badge, mentor role, content license)

  • Standardize metadata for cross-platform compatibility

  • Future-proof the system for L2 or multichain deployment


Recommendations

Area
Stack Protocol Advice

Minting

Use modular minting services (ThirdWeb, Manifold)

Metadata

Store off-chain via IPFS + fallback JSON structure

UX Layer

Implement flexible NFT viewers with display fallback

Interoperability

Define metadata schema that maps across platforms


Conclusion

The NFT layer is not a silo — it’s a protocol. By adopting the Web3 Stack Protocol, NFT ecosystems become more resilient, interoperable, and composable. This enables long-term value, especially in education, identity, and cultural memory.
