Big Win for NFT.Storage: Celebrating Our Filecoin Retroactive Public Goods Funding Success! 🎉 Exciting news from the NFT.Storage team! We have been awarded 1,744 FIL (~$10,272.16 USD) from the Filecoin Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RPGF). This acknowledgment not only celebrates our past achievements but also highlights our robust contributions to the web3 ecosystem. Our Key Contributions: 1) Uploading off-chain NFT Data: We've enabled NFT creators and platforms to upload unlimited off-chain data seamlessly using our web app, desktop app, or directly through integrations with minting platforms. After upload, data is content addressed via IPFS, made accessible for retrieval through the NFT.Storage Gateway and securely stored in long-term decentralized storage in the Filecoin Network. 2) Retrieving NFT Data: Our NFT.Storage Gateway has become a benchmark in performance and reliability, allowing marketplaces, wallets, and creators to retrieve off-chain data without restrictions. 3) Educational Initiatives: We have expanded our educational outreach to notable institutions like the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), teaching the benefits and methods of decentralized storage for digital collections. 4) Preservation of NFT Collections: Initiatives like Pob Studio’s “Preserve” project have utilized our platform to ensure the enduring preservation of digital assets that might otherwise be at risk of disappearing. 5) Retroactive Public Goods Funding supports projects that have proven their worth by providing long-term value to the community. For NFT.Storage, this means a continued commitment to ensuring that NFTs remain accessible and preserved, reinforcing the integrity of digital assets across the ecosystem. Join Our Community Efforts: As NFT.Storage evolves into an independent entity, we are more committed than ever to pioneering community-driven, sustainable solutions for NFT preservation. Get involved with the NFT.Storage community to help shape our future initiatives and support the ongoing security and accessibility of digital assets. 🔗 Learn more about our contributions and how you can support our mission through the joining the community: https://nft.storage/dao #web3 #publicgoods #blockchain #community #dao #NFTs
