ArtVaults
Decentralized Storage for exclusive NFT content. Securely store all assests for a digital artwork in a vault. Freeze your art piece, upload the assets to Filecoin Decentalized storage and register an NFT on the Ethereum Blockchain.
Project Description
-
NFT assets can disappear due to centralized storage or poor maintenance NFTs need a decentralized storage solution to complement the immutability of the transaction.
-
NFTs are more than a single file Currently an NFT consists of a single file which is delivered to the buyer. The rendered preview for the object, is the NFT. With vaults.art, you can combine multiple files, source/batch files, stems or alternate renderings for a fully packaged experience.
How it's Made
So how does all of this work ?
You connect your Ethereum wallet to our React frontend using Metamask, and your ETH username is automatically loaded from the Ethereum naming service.
To prepare a vault the React app makes an http request to a Myel node (a type of hot storage node we’ve developed) which uses IPFS and IPLD to store the files associated with the NFT — such that the bundle of files gets a unique CID. When you’re ready you can mint this unique CID as an NFT.
Long-term storage of the NFT files is payed for by way of wrapped FIL — which is then unwrapped to pay a Filecoin storage miner via a Myel node.
When creating a share link for the vault, this link is authenticated for a specific ethereum address and anyone who has the key to that address can open the vault.
