- Security First: Built with
OpenZeppelinstandards and undergo rigorous internal audits before third-party review. - Full Lifecycle: Development, testing, deployment, and upgrade management via transparent proxies.
Core Protocol Capabilities
Our private metadata storage solutions are built on battle-tested protocols, delivering the security, scalability, and developer experience required for production-grade NFT and media applications.
On-Chain Reference, Off-Chain Storage
Store high-fidelity media and sensitive metadata off-chain with a secure, immutable hash reference on-chain. Reduces gas costs by up to 90% while maintaining full cryptographic integrity and auditability.
Granular Access Control
Implement token-gated, role-based, or time-locked access to private metadata. Define permissions at the collection, token, or attribute level using standards like EIP-7504 for maximum flexibility.
High-Performance CDN & Caching
Global content delivery network ensures sub-100ms latency for media retrieval. Intelligent caching strategies for metadata prevent bottlenecks during high-traffic mints or marketplace surges.
Zero-Knowledge Proof Integration
Optionally verify specific metadata attributes (e.g., rarity score, provenance) without revealing the underlying data. Enables private verification for games, auctions, and loyalty programs.
Automated Backup & Redundancy
Multi-region, multi-provider storage redundancy with automated failover. Immutable versioning and point-in-time recovery protect against data loss or corruption.
Business Outcomes for Media & NFT Platforms
Our private metadata storage solutions are engineered to solve core business challenges for media and NFT platforms, directly impacting your bottom line and user experience.
Monetize Premium Content
Unlock new revenue streams by securely gating access to high-value media (videos, music, documents) using token-gated private metadata. Enforce pay-per-view, subscription models, or exclusive airdrops directly within your smart contracts.
Protect IP & Combat Piracy
Safeguard unreleased content, source files, and sensitive commercial terms in private storage. Share decryption keys only with verified token holders, drastically reducing the risk of leaks and unauthorized distribution.
Enhance Collector Experience
Deliver dynamic, evolving NFTs. Update private metadata post-mint to provide exclusive behind-the-scenes content, unlockable experiences, or loyalty rewards, increasing holder retention and perceived value.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Maintain clear separation between public blockchain provenance and private contractual data. Our architecture helps platforms navigate data privacy regulations (like GDPR) by keeping sensitive user data off-chain and encrypted.
Reduce Infrastructure Overhead
Eliminate the complexity of building and securing your own key management and encryption systems. We provide a fully managed, scalable service with enterprise-grade SLAs, so your team can focus on core product development.
Future-Proof Your Platform
Build on a flexible architecture that supports evolving standards (ERC-721, 1155, 6551) and new use cases like token-bound accounts and composable media. Our solution scales with your platform's growth and innovation roadmap.

Our Development & Integration Process
A structured, security-first approach to implementing private metadata solutions, designed for predictable delivery and seamless integration into your existing media or NFT platform.
Discovery & Architecture Design
We analyze your specific use case—be it gaming assets, digital art, or confidential documents—to design a tailored architecture. This includes selecting the optimal encryption standard (e.g., AES-256-GCM), access control model, and on/off-chain data flow.
Smart Contract & Key Management
Development of secure, auditable smart contracts for access control and token-gating, paired with a robust key management system. We implement industry standards like ERC-4906 for metadata updates and secure enclaves or MPC for private key operations.
Encrypted Storage Integration
Integration of decentralized storage solutions (IPFS, Arweave, Filecoin) with client-side encryption. We ensure metadata is encrypted before upload, with only authorized users (via NFT ownership or specific roles) able to decrypt and access the content.
Audit, Testing & Deployment
Rigorous security testing including unit/integration tests and a dedicated smart contract audit. We follow a CI/CD pipeline for automated deployment to your chosen testnet and mainnet, ensuring a smooth launch.
Monitoring & Support
Post-deployment, we provide monitoring dashboards for system health, access logs, and storage pinning status. Ongoing support ensures your private metadata solution scales reliably with your user base.
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your decentralized application.
We deliver audit-ready smart contracts that form the secure backbone of your product. Our development process is built on Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin standards, ensuring reliability from day one.

Private Metadata Protocol FAQ
Answers to common questions from CTOs and product leads evaluating private metadata solutions for NFTs and digital media.
Our standard implementation follows a structured 4-phase process: Discovery & Design (1 week), Smart Contract Development (2-3 weeks), Integration & Testing (1-2 weeks), and Deployment & Handoff (1 week). For a typical ERC-721/ERC-1155 project with custom reveal logic, the total timeline is 4-6 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan and weekly syncs to ensure alignment.
