Pinata Integrations

HTTP downloads files from one server at a time — but peer-to-peer IPFS retrieves pieces from multiple nodes at once, enabling substantial bandwidth savings. With up to 60% savings for video, IPFS makes it possible to efficiently distribute high volumes of data without duplication. The average lifespan of a web page is 100 days before it's gone forever. The medium of our era shouldn't be this fragile. IPFS makes it simple to set up resilient networks for mirroring data, and thanks to content addressing, files stored using IPFS are automatically versioned. The Internet has turbocharged innovation by being one of the great equalizers in human history — but increasing consolidation of control threatens that progress. IPFS stays true to the original vision of an open, flat web by delivering technology to make that vision a reality.

nft.storage is a brand new service, built specifically for storing off-chain NFT data. Data is stored decentralized on IPFS and Filecoin, and are referenced using content-addressed IPFS URIs that can be used in your smart contract without fear of the data being referenced changing. Just upload your data and you'll receive an IPFS hash of the content (a CID) that can be used in on-chain NFT data as a pointer to the content. Filecoin provides long-term storage for the data ensuring that even if nft.storage is attacked or taken down the NFT data persists! Optionally, you can provide additional redundancy by running your own IPFS node and pinning the CIDs of content uploaded to NFT.Storage. Alternately, you can use an additional pinning service for redundancy (NFT.Storage already does this when it backs things up to Pinata). Doing this is not necessary, but might be of interest for users looking to be in full control of their data and its availability.

Holograph is an omnichain tokenization protocol that enables asset issuers to mint natively composable omnichain tokens. It has been used to mint millions of on-chain assets, making it one of the most widely used protocols for cross-chain asset production and distribution. Holograph works by burning tokens on the source chain, sending a message via a messaging protocol to the destination chain, and then reminting the same number of tokens to the same contract address. This process unifies liquidity, eliminates slippage, and preserves fungibility across blockchains. The protocol facilitates the use of a single, unique contract address on all EVM blockchains, allowing for all subsequent contracts to be derived from them. This approach ensures that contract addresses remain the same no matter where they are deployed, supporting all existing and future EVM chains. Holograph provides a complete solution for asset issuers with a customizable infrastructure for omnichannel token creation.
