Dear NFT Community,

As a public good dedicated to the preservation of digital assets, we are reaching out during a crucial moment for the future of NFTs. The integrity and longevity of digital assets—the very foundation of our vibrant and innovative space—are at risk. At NFT.Storage, our mission has always been to preserve NFTs as timeless assets, safe from the vulnerabilities of off-chain storage failures. Yet, to continue this mission, we urgently need your help. 

Earlier this year, we transitioned into an independent entity, separating from Protocol Labs, to focus on our commitment to long-term NFT preservation. This move was driven by the community’s shared recognition for safeguarding off-chain NFT data and our belief in the power of decentralized, smart contract-powered infrastructure to make this possible.

However, fundraising has been challenging, and we now face the reality of financial strain. As an ownerless organization, NFT.Storage is committed to serving the public good, but sustaining our mission requires community support. We need to raise $750,000 by November 10th to continue evolving towards a sustainable model. If we fall short, we may have to make difficult decisions about the future of NFT.Storage.

Your support can make a difference. Every donation, no matter the size—whether $1 or $1,000—brings us one step closer to our goal. You can donate here via Stripe or with tokens. If you don’t see the token you’d like to donate, just let us know, and we’ll spin up the right wallet address for you.

We also encourage you to spread the word. Click here to share your support on Twitter and help amplify our message.

We’re seeking donations so that we can continue preserving all NFTs as timeless assets—so that they don’t become 'dead' when off-chain storage solutions for linked images and metadata fail. 

We are deeply grateful to all those who have supported us so far, whether through financial contributions, giving your time, or by spreading awareness. Your involvement proves the strength of our community and our shared belief in the preservation of digital art and digital assets for future generations.

Many thanks,

The NFT.Storage Team
