  NFT standards
  (ERC-721, ERC-1155) with advanced features such as
  lazy minting
  , metadata storage (IPFS, Arweave), and royalty mechanisms.
• Build and integrate
  governance frameworks
  with time-locked proposal systems and voting mechanisms.

  custom fungible tokens
  for tokenomics and utility use cases (e.g., RMDS Lab's governance token).
• Deploy and manage contracts on multiple blockchain networks:
  Ethereum, Avalanche, NEAR, Polygon, and others
  .
• Optimize gas usage and ensure cost efficiency in contract execution.
• Conduct
  security audits
  and vulnerability assessments using tools like Slither, MythX, and manual review.

  governance models
  , and
  decentralized identity (DID)
  .
• Experience with
  testnet deployment
  ,
  staging environments
  , and
  production monitoring
