About nft.storage
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.
