Learn how NFT metadata and storage work

Practical guides to NFT metadata, IPFS and Arweave storage, fully on-chain NFTs, and the contract controls that can change a collection.

NFT metadata

Follow tokenURI from a contract to the name, attributes, image, animation, and nested dependencies a marketplace renders.

NFT storage

Compare on-chain data, IPFS, Arweave, gateway URLs, and ordinary web hosting by integrity, mutability, and availability.

On-chain NFTs

Separate on-chain ownership from on-chain metadata and media, and identify the dependencies that still remain.

NFT contract control

Understand owners, roles, multisigs, timelocks, proxies, and the practical power each controller may retain.

For scoring details and limitations, read the NFT Inspector methodology.
