NFT.Storage and Filecoin Foundation: A Synergistic Relationship
About the Filecoin Foundation
Filecoin Foundation's mission is to preserve humanity's most important information, as well as to facilitate the open source governance of the Filecoin network, fund research and development projects for decentralized technologies, and support the growth of the Filecoin ecosystem and community.
NFT.Storage and Filecoin Foundation share more than just a mission; NFT.Storage builds on Filecoin technology to offer a robust and reliable storage solution for NFTs. Here's how NFT.Storage leverages Filecoin's cutting-edge technology:
- Classic Uploader: Launched in April 2021, the Classic Uploader facilitated off-chain NFT data availability across IPFS and storage in the Filecoin network for free. This solution provided a seamless experience for NFT creators, aiming to ensure long-term integrity and availability of NFTs. The data was content-addressed, made retrieval via the NFT.Storage Gateway, and securely stored in the Filecoin network at no charge.
- Preservation Uploader Web App and API: Our new flagship product offers a long-term and cost-effective solution to back up NFTs. With a modest one-time fee per GB of storage, payable via fiat and soon through ERC20 tokens, we leverage Filecoin's decentralized storage network, underpinned by a smart contract based endowment that is on the Filecoin Ethereum Virtual Machine (FEVM). Our service accommodates NFTs across major blockchains, delivering verifiable and long-lasting storage. Should any off-chain NFT content become inaccessible, the NFT data is always available to retrieve from the Filecoin Network.
- NFT Token Checker: We plan to launch the NFT Token Checker later this year, an essential tool for marketplaces, wallets, and block explorers. This tool offers verification of NFT collections, tokens, and CIDs stored by NFT.Storage. The service provides creators and their customers with confidence in the lasting storage of NFTs by displaying a distinct icon indicating the NFT is preserved by NFT.Storage. The vision is that the Token Checker ultimately allows for the direct verification of CIDs against the Filecoin blockchain, enhancing the system's transparency and moving towards a more trustless product.
