Hi All!
NFT Clinic is completely onchain now on the Cosmos Hub.
This includes all of the imagery and metadata for NFT creation.
It also includes, and this is the part that is really really cool, the website that powers it @ https://nft.clinic. I deployed a smart contract that allows onchain web publication for traditional web2 domains with a js worker I built on Cloudflare that renders, compiles, and then serves the website globally from a cache.
Imagine that. A NFT engine that not only deploys NFT’s 100% onchain, but the website itself is 100% onchain for a truly circular economy where all tx gas fee’s are in $ATOM.
Oh, and it’s super easy to use.
Thanks!
Since all images and metadata are stored permanently on-chain, how do you address long-term state growth for validators? Is storage paid only once at mint, or is there any recurring storage fee / lease mechanism to keep data on-chain over time?
It’s a one off storage fee.
If storage is paid only once, who pays for the ongoing storage costs in 10 or 20 years? As the blockchain state grows, validators still have to store all that data forever. How is that long-term cost accounted for?
To minimize the impact, images are converted to Webp for storage onchain so are well under the 128KB limit. While the storage is only paid to validators once, all tx’s involving the NFT’s also produce gas fee’s in ATOM that provides additional revenue for validators.
