Web3 Storage and NFT Storage

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Demo shows end-to-end NFT and general-file storage: files are packed into content-addressable CARs, clients can do client-side CID generation so the on-chain token matches the uploaded data, and a 24 MB video splits into CAR chunking (10 MB) with parallel uploads and the returned CID matching the precomputed one. Backend pins to a six-node IPFS cluster, negotiates Filecoin deals visible via the nft.storage check API (on-chain deal IDs and miner addresses), and leverages Filecoin incentives to offer free verified-user storage.
