Web3 Storage and NFT Storage
summary
Shows how nft.storage and web3.storage actually store off‑chain NFT data: files become IPFS CIDs, are pinned and negotiated into Filecoin deals, and web clients can generate CIDs client-side and upload CAR chunks so large assets stream as 10MB pieces. The JS client, metadata API and a /check endpoint report pinning and on‑chain deal IDs. Demo uploads a 24MB video, yields the expected root CID and three chunks in parallel, and the services aim to be free for verified users via Filecoin incentives.
