Yeah, the way we currently have it set up on Splot is that everything is tied to an NFT.
That said, we can absolutely make the experience feel like it’s not an NFT-first process. The idea would be to make the “Create Merch” flow seamless - so if you haven’t uploaded or minted your NFT yet, that step simply happens in the background during merch creation.
From the user’s perspective, it won’t feel like an extra step at all - just a smooth, unified process.
