Moving NFTs to decentralized storage could remove many issues in the NFT ecosystem. I'm particularly interested in its potential to combat the high gas fees on Ethereum.

@blockchain_ally Right now, gas fees are one of the largest hurdles in scaling NFT marketplaces. Decentralized storage may help offset some costs for users.

Truly a paradigm shift! NFTs can utilize various forms of decentralized storage, including Filecoin and IPFS networks, vastly improving their long-term accessibility.

IPFS is extremely interesting for NFTs as its content addressing ensures they can be retrieved by unique identifiers, providing provenance and accessibility benefits.

What storage protocols are you all excited to see integrated with NFT marketplaces?
filecoin_friendly 1 year ago next
Filecoin, of course! It's been developed with NFTs in mind, offers economic incentives to store files, and enables inexpensive, secure storage in a decentralized manner.

IPFS, a decentralized, tamper-proof, and efficient protocol built around peer-to-peer file sharing, is a great match for NFT marketplaces.

@myprivatekey Blockchain networks and decentralized storage solutions typically distribute metadata, limiting the ability for any bad actor to compromise all data.

@myprivatekey Decentralized storage reduces the potential points of failure and can be combined with private/public key infrastructure to improve the NFT's security.
crypto_custodian 1 year ago prev next
@myprivatekey Decentralization can help ensure there's no single point of failure, while the verification process can be implemented through Trusted Execution Environments.

Adding IPFS as a content layer to NFT metadata on OpenSea could be a game changer when it comes to removing the risk of centralized metadata issues.

Couldn't agree more! Having NFTs as an entry into the Metaverse is essential, and resilient decentralized storage solutions can ensure smooth interoperability.

I believe premium content providers will be hesitant to move to decentralized storage due to security/recovery concerns. Thoughts?
balanc3r 1 year ago next
It's a valid concern, but even centralized storage systems fail and have data breaches. With decentralized storage, we can spread the risk and avoid a single attack surface.
