What NFT.Storage is

NFT.Storage preserves off-chain NFT data through distributed Filecoin storage, IPFS content addressing, and peer-to-peer networking. Stored data receives an IPFS hash, while the service says Filecoin performs periodic cryptographic checks. An on-chain endowment backed by smart contracts is intended to cover continuing Filecoin storage costs. The preservation product is available as a web app and API, and minting platforms can connect it for account setup, storage purchases, and token uploads. Users can create accounts with GitHub authentication, but storage itself is paid. The NFT Long-Term Storage plan costs $4.99, paid once, billed at $4.99 / GB as a one-time fee based on storage size. There are no recurring duration fees, and unused storage is not refundable. Retrieval through ipfs.io is still under development and may not suit frequent daily access. NFT.Storage was founded in 2021.
