Good points 👍
- Artifex chose to put the creator name, the creation name and the other data in token, on the blockchain. That ensures you own the data at any time.
- If Artifex dies & Ethereum survives, you will be able to retrieve this data.
- Artifex chose to put the artwork visual on Blockweave. This blockchain is a great protocol to keep this data available.
- If Artifex dies & Blockweave survives, you will be able to retrieve this data.
- The token also include an IPFS hash which let you retrieve the artwork visual.
- Using Blockweave and IPFS to host the artwork visual is a good practice to increase the persistence of the data
Bad points 👎
- It would be appreciated if Artifex would create documentation (article or video) that explains how users can retrieve the creation outside the platform.
