Where are the bonsai's attributes?

Off blockchain

Where is it stored?

The bonsai's attributes are hosted on several computers via IPFS protocol.

What exactly is IPFS?

IPFS is a distributed system for storing and accessing files or assets. This is not a blockchain. You can see more information here.

Does it guarantee the availability of the bonsai's attributes?

No. To be sure about the persistence of the data, you need someone to "pin" your data on IPFS nodes. In most cases, the NFT platform does it for you.

What if Zenft website is offline?

You keep your bonsai

Here are the elements you can retrieve

  • bonsai's attributes
  • bonsai's visual
  • other data

Good points 👍

  • Zenft chose to put the bonsai's attributes, the bonsai's visual and the other data on a distributed & decentralized protocol: IPFS. Even if this is not the best practice to guarantee data availability, this is better than choosing private storage.
  • If Zenft dies & IPFS survives, you will be able to retrieve this data.

Bad points 👎

  • The data hosted on IPFS needs to be "pinned" to be available. If not, it can disappear at any time. We recommend using a more robust solution like Blockweave.
  • It would be appreciated if Zenft would create documentation (article or video) that explains how users can retrieve the bonsai outside the platform.
