Bringing Web3 to the Web

" summary

Team launches nft.storage and then builds web3.storage, an at-scale IPFS host that caches hash-addressed content via CDN to keep NFT media off fragile centralized servers. Content uses CIDs and identities use DIDs, while UCANs let users delegate permissions so devices upload directly (no proxy bearer tokens). Invocation blocks let services trigger each other across providers. An alpha uploader API is live and the system demonstrably serves real NFT workloads.
