Here’s what’s happening in the [**InterPlanetary File System**](https://ipfs.io/) galaxy!
## **How to Store and Maintain NFT Metadata**
![](../assets/release-notes-placeholder-2b442ee5.png)
What is NFT metadata, what are the risks affecting it, and how does IPFS help NFT holders secure their digital assets for the long term? Non-fungible tokens are among the most exciting recent developments in the cryptoverse. NFTs are like digital collectibles, each unique in its own way and linked to a particular user. Ownership aside, what also makes an NFT valuable is its metadata. [**Learn about NFT metadata**](https://blog.ipfs.io/how-to-store-and-maintain-nft-metadata/), metadata storage, and where to store your NFT metadata for free!
## **Brand new on IPFS**
* Jimmy Lee of Protocol Lab’s [Application Research Group](https://arg.protocol.ai/) made an appearance at the Mercury Hackathon track of [Asia Hackathon Season](https://hackathons.filecoin.io/asia-hackathon-season/) to give an [informative 30-minute deep dive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me2KfIObx5I) into the history behind creating [Estuary](https://estuary.tech/).
* Listen to the [100th episode](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/juan-benet-ipfs-decentralizing-the-web-with/id792338939?i=1000437366979) of the [Epicenter](https://epicenter.tv/) podcast, featuring guest Juan Benet speaking about the possibilities for IPFS, ranging from distributed cloud hosting to websites without central servers to possibly being a replacement for HTTP.
* The winners of the js13kGames 2021 Hackathon were announced last week. One highlight was [Go Away](https://js13kgames.com/entries/go-away), a planet-defending card game built with IPFS and NEAR. [Check out the full winners lineup](https://medium.com/js13kgames/js13kgames-2021-winners-top-in-criteria-and-expert-picks-cf4a0544fd45).
* Also from the Mercury Hackathon: “Introduction to Dapp Starter | Building an NFT App Demo using IPFS” with Jacob Tucker of Decentology. [Watch here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iylqoU04-VM)
## Around the ecosystem 🌏
Nearly one year ago, the Filecoin mainnet launched! From October 18 - 22, the Filecoin, IPFS, and Protocol Labs ecosystems are coming together to celebrate with **Filecoin Orbit**. Check out the event and [register to join in](http://orbit.filecoin.io/) for a week of talks, demos, workshops, and more.
Decentralized cloud drive [IPFS Drive](https://www.ipfsdrive.com/) is now live: a storage application used for file management, data encryption, and cloud drive mounting on the IPFS network. It has the characteristics of high-speed transmission and high security, and can obtain long-term free storage space from storage providers with support for [Filswan](https://filswan.com/#/dashboard) and [Web3.Storage](https://web3.storage/).
Couldn’t make it to Prague for the Nonfungible Castle event? Well you can watch all of the action in the [livestream](https://www.nfcastle.com/streaming) starting on October 16th.
The new release of [CID Gravity](https://filecoinproject.slack.com/archives/CEHTVSEG6/p1633430657466700), version 1.0.9, is now live and features an integration with [Bidbot from Textile](https://github.com/textileio/bidbot), a Filecoin network sidecar for storage providers to bid in storage deal auctions. CID Gravity enables storage providers to enter the storage-market and aims to allow any size of deals on the network.
