NFT Marketplace Smart Contracts

In this project I created the smart contracts for a NFT marketplace using thirdweb. The thirdweb smart contract had to be heavily modified to fit the needs of the marketplace. Foundry was used to aid in this development. I also have 100% test coverage for the contracts that I wrote. Main work was done here https://github.com/mintra-marketplace/thirdweb_contracts/blob/main/contracts/prebuilts/marketplace/direct-listings/MintraDirectListings.sol
