ERC721 Base Contract

The ERC721Base smart contract implements the ERC721 NFT standard, along with the ERC721A optimization to the standard.

The ERC721Base smart contract is usable as it is. It is sufficient for the use case of minting NFTs for yourself (or to someone else) and selling those NFTs on a marketplace.
