 ## ⚔️ Side Quests
 
+### 🤖 AI Deep Dive Quests
+
+Now that you've completed the challenge, use AI to master the core concepts! These quests will help you understand not just *what* you built, but *why* and *how* it works.
+
+#### 🔍 Code Exploration Quests
+
+**Quest 1: Trace a Token Transfer**
+- Ask AI: "Walk me through the complete execution flow when `transferFrom()` is called in an ERC-721 contract. What checks are performed? What state changes occur? What events are emitted?"
+- "Show me the code path in OpenZeppelin's ERC721 implementation"
+
+**Quest 2: Understanding Events**
+- "Why are events important in smart contracts? How do frontends use the `Transfer` event?"
+- "What's the difference between indexed and non-indexed event parameters?"
+
+**Quest 3: Decoding tokenURI**
+- Pick one of your minted NFTs and ask AI: "Here's my IPFS URI [paste it]. Explain what happens when a marketplace like OpenSea fetches this URI"
+- "What's inside the metadata JSON? Show me the structure and explain each field"
+
+#### 💡 Conceptual Deep-Dives
+
+**Quest 4: ERC Standards Comparison**
+- "Compare ERC-721, ERC-1155, and ERC-20. When would I use each?"
+- "Why can't we use ERC-20 for unique items like game characters or real estate?"
+- "What are the gas tradeoffs between ERC-721 and ERC-1155 for collections?"
+
+**Quest 5: The Power of Composability**
+- "Give me 5 real-world examples of NFT composability (beyond the README examples)"
+- "How could another smart contract use my YourCollectible NFTs? Walk me through a code example"
+- "What makes tokenization different from traditional databases for ownership?"
+
+**Quest 6: IPFS vs Centralized Storage**
+- "Why do NFT projects use IPFS? What are the tradeoffs vs storing images on AWS?"
+- "What does it mean that 'IPFS doesn't guarantee availability'? How do projects solve this?"
+- "Can the token metadata change after minting? What are the implications?"
+
+**Quest 7: Security Considerations**
+- "What are common vulnerabilities in NFT contracts? (reentrancy, integer overflow, access control)"
+- "Why does ERC-721 have `safeTransferFrom()` in addition to `transferFrom()`?"
+- "What's the `onERC721Received` hook and why is it critical?"
