Combining NFT + BTFS by BitTorrent

BitTorrent introduced article Why are NFT and BTFS born to be together?

Reasons for combining NFT and BTFS

🔹1. NFT requires stable data storage

BTFS stores data in a distributed way, meaning that a global network is created with countless peers in it for storage instead of simply backing up data in several server rooms. This way, NFTs will not get lost or invalid due to server error or website shutdown.

🔹2. Ensure reliability of NFT data in storage

Data to be on the BTFS nodes will be split into a number of file shards, then encrypted and hosted on nodes across the globe. BTFS network is able to retrieve and repair data to make sure that the NFTs stored are reliable.

🔹3. Ensure ownership of NFT data

An NFT stored on the BTFS network cannot be tampered with, and its ownership belongs to its storer.

Only by storing NFTs on the BTFS distributed network can the requirements of NFT be fundamentally met. For miners on the BTFS network, they are likely to see a surge in storage demand after BTFS supports NFTs.
