The next chapter for NFT.Storage: Shaping the future of NFT preservation together

Shaping the future of NFT preservation together

April 4, 2024

Since launching in April 2021, NFT.Storage has become a de facto public good for NFTs, with over 165,000 users and 660 TB of data under our care. Our journey has been driven by a commitment to providing free, resilient and accessible decentralized storage solutions for off-chain NFT data. With the evolution of our platform, our focus is now on evolving these offerings to ensure the long-term preservation of NFTs, aiming to safeguard their value and accessibility for future generations. As we move into this next chapter, we're thrilled to invite our community to shape a decentralized future alongside us by joining the newly formed NFT.Storage DAO.

Evolving Towards Decentralization

NFT.Storage is embracing decentralization, enhancing our service offerings and adopting a governance model aligned with our mission as a public good. This transition is an opportunity to better serve the NFT community's needs sustainably. With this shift, the original (NFT.Storage Classic) NFT.Storage web app, API, SDK, NFTUp, and the Pinning API will no longer accept new registrations beginning today. Rest assured, existing account holders can continue to rely on their data being accessible across IPFS and in the decentralized Filecoin Network.

Introducing the NFT.Storage DAO

Our evolution includes the introduction of the NFT.Storage DAO, marking a pivotal shift towards community-driven governance. It's an opportunity for each member of our community to contribute to our mission, whether through active engagement or simply by joining. Your support enriches our collective endeavor towards sustainable NFT preservation.
