Challenges I ran into

Overcoming Challenges in "Mystery on Base" Development

Dynamic NFT Metadata Management:

• Challenge: Implementing dynamic metadata for NFTs, with multiple stages connected to IPFS, proved complex.
• Solution: Instead of fully dynamic metadata, we defined static stages and allowed users to update the contract with unique codes. This method simplified the process, enabling users to update without complex requirements.
• Implementation: We used Node.js to manage users and NFTs. When the heating process reached the update point, users could update their NFT's metadata accordingly.

Whitelist and Minting Restrictions:

• Challenge: Ensuring that users on the whitelist could only mint one NFT was tricky.
• Solution: We implemented a system where each user could only mint one NFT from the whitelist, preventing multiple minting attempts.
• Implementation: This involved refining our minting logic and whitelist checks to enforce the one-NFT-per-user rule effectively.

Navigating Thirdweb V5:

• Challenge: Transitioning from Thirdweb V4 to V5 was difficult due to confusing documentation and significant changes.
• Solution: I found myself frequently switching between versions, but with the support of the on-chain Base community, I was able to adapt.
• Implementation: Leveraged community resources and collaborative problem-solving to successfully navigate and implement the new features in Thirdweb V5.

These challenges were pivotal learning experiences, and overcoming them has made "Mystery on Base" a more robust and user-friendly project. The integration of dynamic metadata, effective whitelist management, and leveraging updated blockchain tools ensures a seamless and engaging user experience.
