PROVEN RESULTS

Business Outcomes of Decentralized Media Storage

Integrating decentralized storage for NFT media isn't just a technical upgrade—it's a strategic business decision. We deliver measurable outcomes that directly impact your platform's performance, cost, and market position.

01

Eliminate Single Points of Failure

We migrate your NFT media off centralized servers to a resilient, distributed network. This ensures your digital assets remain permanently accessible, protecting your brand and user trust from downtime or provider lock-in.

02

Drastically Reduce Storage Costs

Replace expensive, recurring cloud storage fees with predictable, one-time upload costs. Our integration with networks like Filecoin and Arweave cuts long-term operational expenses by over 80% compared to traditional S3-like services.

05

Enhance Platform Security & Trust

Move beyond "link rot" and broken images. Decentralized storage cryptographically links media to on-chain tokens, providing verifiable proof of ownership and authenticity. This is a critical trust signal for collectors and marketplaces.

NFT Media Storage Integration FAQs

Answers to the most common questions CTOs and product leads ask when evaluating decentralized storage for their NFT projects.

A standard integration with IPFS, Arweave, or Filecoin takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to production deployment. This includes architecture design, smart contract updates, media upload pipeline setup, and end-to-end testing. Complex projects with custom pinning services or multi-chain requirements may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones during the initial scoping call.
