As blockchain and NFTs are relatively new technologies, a few development companies with a decent portfolio and cases in this sector. Hence, if you want to launch your own NFT project, you will need to spend quite a lot of time searching for potential candidates. During your research, you should focus on the following points:
First, see the cases of your future candidate. You need to understand whether they have experience in NFT development. Furthermore, it is essential to know if the company worked in the required fields. For example, if you look for a development company to launch an NFT marketplace, you need a team with the appropriate cases in their portfolio. Namely, a project on a platform for minting and selling NFTs.
Do not hesitate to check what the clients say about the team. Usually, you will find reviews on Clutch.co, Goodfirms.co or LinkedIn. It is essential that the thoughts are reasonable, to the point, and not anonymous (you need to see the full name, company, and position).
The development cost would depend on the developers’ experience, skills, portfolio, and cases in a perfect world. However, in the real world, the price depends on the location of the developers. Since the average hourly rate in the USA is $95/h, Western Europe — $67/h, and Easter Europe $32/h.
What is more, regardless of this colossal wage gap, the professional level of a specialist from the USA, and for example from Ukraine, or Poland, is quite the same. IT giants like Microsoft, Apple, IBM, and others use it to give a part of the development to outsource to cheaper countries.
Agile is a global standard today. This term covers an approach to development that meets the Agile Manifesto requirements. For example, in Merehead, the NFT developers use the Scrum approach (Scrum of scrums). It is a scalable option of Agile that allows saving money and time, yet get a software product that will satisfy all the users’ expectations.
Next, you will need to check what technologies your candidate employs. And it's not just about languages, frameworks, and databases, but also about technologies such as blockchain, neural networks, VR, and AR.
It is crucial that your NFT development company analyzes your niche and target audience and embraces the project and your background. Please, pay attention to whether they ask you questions, what they are related to, and how often the team asks you something. See whether the questions are connected to your project and development or the candidate is interested only in the payment and signing the contract.

Starting with simple, smart contracts and ending with major decentralized exchanges, Merehead offers decent technological support to implement NFT solutions in sport, video gaming, marketing, e-commerce, finances, insurance, and health care.
