Preserve NFT data on Web3

Monday, March 7, 2022

NFT.Storage and Concept Art House announced a partnership to help preserve NFT Data, and bring gamers assurance that the digital items they collected will be protected. The NFT.Storage API protocols provide the security needs for Web3 games, including the ones developed by CAH.

Concept Art House is partnering with NFT.Storage to preserve NFT data on Web3 protocols IPFS, and Filecoin.

The NFT.Storage API combines the power of IPFS and Filecoin to meet the specific needs for Web3 games, such as the ones developed by Concept Art House (CAH). By storing game assets on these protocols, developers can avail of immutable referencing and verifiable storage ensuring that iconic characters, moments, and artwork from beloved franchises will be securely stored and easily accessible in perpetuity.

Altogether, this use of IPFS and Filecoin results in a scalable, cost-effective, and verifiable way for companies like Concept Art House to have secure off-chain references for on-chain assets. Adding further convenience for users, NFT.Storage is also interoperable with both Web 2.0 and Web3 infrastructure thanks to HTTP gateway solutions and recent native browser integrations of these protocols.

Jonathan Victor, Business Development Lead at NFT.Storage, said, "Active blockchain-based games have doubled in the past year, and the in-game NFT market has skyrocketed. With total sales volume for the NFT market surpassing $13.2 billion in 2021, the need for decentralized storage has grown in tandem. Developers need resilient systems to host these NFT assets and mitigate the risk of NFT data manipulation, and secure storage is paramount. This integration came about because CAH recognizes that the 2 billion gamers in the world who have played with and collected digital items need the same assurances that these items will be protected and exist, regardless of the existence of any single institution."

Concept Art House’s game art has been featured in franchises such as Call of Duty Mobile, Fortnite, League of Legends, Magic: The Gathering, ROBLOX, and many others. The studio has pivoted to NFTs since the advent of Web3 technology, taking the lead on record-breaking drops like the 30th anniversary of Sin City by Frank Miller and creating NFTs for innovative AAA titles like Genopets.

NFT.Storage makes use of IPFS content addressing capabilities, a storage technique where content is always retrievable thanks to unique content identifiers (CIDs). At the same time, it relies on Filecoin as a storage provider to ensure that the NFTs created by Concept Art House are stored safely and securely by a decentralized network of users.

Relied upon by over 24,000 users and top players across ecosystems, including OpenSea, Magic Eden, and NFTPort, NFT.Storage is advancing cross-chain, easy to use, reliable storage in the ownership economy.
