 The NFT Collection contract creates a unique collection of NFTs based on the ERC-721A standard. NFTs are minted to the creator’s wallet as they are added to the collection. NFTs are still transferable, able to be sold on a marketplace, and perform any other actions as defined by ERC-721A.
 
 For advanced use-cases requiring , NFT Collection includes signature-based minting capabilities.
