At the monthly community gathering, Protocol Labs software engineer Yusef Napora introduced the best combination of NFT x IPFS and the NFT storage service application NFT.Storage.

Today, IPFS official ProtocolLabs officially launched NFT.Storage, a service supported by ProtocolLabs and Pinata dedicated to storing NFT data, allowing users to seamlessly and securely store their NFT content and metadata using IPFS and Filecoin."NFT.Storage will use IPFS to create digital fingerprints for all new NFTs. Regardless of how or where they are stored, this digital fingerprint can universally refer to the content. Using these digital fingerprints to refer to NFT assets and metadata can prevent loss or loss. By "rug-pulls

The problem. In addition, NFT.Storage will use Filecoin as a global storage provider for NFT data to ensure that the content is publicly verifiable.

NFT.Storage uses Filecoin to preserve NFT data through many independent global storage providers to ensure that the content is long-term accessible with no central point of failure, while providing publicly verifiable evidence that the content will be stored over time. storage.

NFT.Storage allows developers to protect their NFT assets and associated metadata through content addressing and distributed storage, ensuring that all NFTs follow best practices for long-term access.

“NFTs are part of humanity’s cultural heritage, and it’s critical to design their data for long-term accessibility. Content addressing and a distributed storage network ensure that digital works, basketball cards, and virtual real estate can remain secure and usable over time. NFT. Storage makes minting NFTs that follow best practices silkier with continued reliability on IPFS and Filecoin,” said Mikeal Rogers, Engineering Manager at Protocol Labs.

What is NFT.Storage

NFT.Storage makes it easy, secure and free for developers to store NFT data on a distributed network. With just a few lines of code, anyone can leverage the power of IPFS and Filecoin to ensure the persistence of their NFT.

It works like this:"1. Content addressing: After users upload data on NFT.Storage, they will receive the IPFS hash of the content, called CID. CIDs are unique fingerprints of data, they are universal addresses that can be used to refer to content regardless of how and where it is stored. Since the CID is generated from the content itself, using the CID to reference NFT data prevents problems such as weak links and "rug pulls"

The problem.

3. Flexible retrieval: Data stored via IPFS and Filecoin can be accessed directly in the browser through any public IPFS gateway.

What's next?

NFT.Storage fills the void for today's NFT developers who are looking for simple APIs and best practices to store NFT data securely and flexibly, but this is only the first step in bringing fully distributed resilience to humanity's cultural heritage! Notable projects like Palm, VideoCoin, and many NFT marketplaces already support their NFT networks with IPFS and Filecoin, and are excited to continue to evolve our tools and best practices over time to protect community data.
