Now that Sam Bankman-Fried was simply discovered responsible on 7 completely different counts, I’ve been performing some reflecting on the FTX saga.
One factor I preserve coming again to is the shuttering of the FTX NFT platform, which relied on a personal server so now all its NFTs have damaged metadata. Yikes.
After all, the episode’s so instructive as a result of it’s a latest high-profile instance of how personal servers are the worst method to underpin NFTs so far as longevity is worried.
But to make certain not every thing needs to be totally onchain. Subsequent week I’ll be doing a write-up on the fundamentals of bespoke storage networks like IPFS, Arweave, and Filecoin, so preserve a watch out for that.
Within the meantime have an amazing weekend everybody and thanks for studying. Now right here’s your newest weekly NFT roundup! ✌️
