NFT Metadata, IPFS and Pinata
NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, have emerged as a revolutionary technology that allows creators to authenticate and monetize their digital creations in an immutable and transparent way. By leveraging blockchain technology, NFTs offer a unique value proposition, enabling creators to prove ownership, establish scarcity, and enhance the value of their digital assets.
To ensure the authenticity and immutability of NFTs, the art and metadata must be stored on a decentralized network. IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a popular decentralized network used for storing NFT art and metadata. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to publish your NFT art and metadata to IPFS using Pinata, a user-friendly service that simplifies the process of storing and minting NFTs.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to securely store your NFT art and metadata on IPFS.
