Permanence and immutability are part of the core value proposition of a non-fungible token (NFT). Unfortunately, many NFTs being targeted at consumers today offer neither of these properties due to fundamental design flaws. It is common to hear claims that NFTs “live on a blockchain forever”, but frequently, due to the cost and space limitations of storing data on a blockchain, only the ownership _record_ is actually stored, with metadata linking to the actual content of the NFT.
|
||||
|
||||
All too often, [these links are fragile](https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkdj79/peoples-expensive-nfts-keep-vanishing-this-is-why), and direct the user to a specific _location_ using the HTTP protocol, rather than a specific asset. This means that the content pointed to by the link could change or go offline at any point in the future, leaving the original asset lost forever (and the record of ownership worthless).
|
||||
|
||||
The InterPlanetary Filesystem (IPFS) can help address these concerns, and NFTs that leverage IPFS gain several advantages. However, adhering to established conventions is critical to ensure the permanence and accessibility of data stored on the network. With non-fungible tokens (NFTs) surging in popularity, it’s a good time to revisit best practices for linking and storing NFT data on IPFS. In this post, we’ll address two areas of recent concern in particular: content addressing and content integrity. You can find more details on the IPFS documentation site, in our new article [Best Practices for Storing NFT Data using IPFS](https://docs.ipfs.io/how-to/best-practices-for-nft-data/).

### High Availability

|

One of the primary reasons for using a decentralized network like IPFS to serve content is to forestall [link rot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot). This is achieved by allowing other nodes in the network to mirror data via cohosting. However, developers wishing to ensure the availability of content should not rely on the altruism of other nodes. To ensure that linked content remains available, developers should host it themselves by [pinning](https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/persistence/) the CIDs of the content on IPFS nodes they manage, preserving and distributing the content alongside any others who wish to help. Should they prefer, developers can also delegate this responsibility via [pinning services](https://docs.ipfs.io/how-to/work-with-pinning-services/).
