Images associated with multiple Ethereum NFT collections from Nike Acquired RTFKT, which closed late last year, were shown early Thursday due to suspected issues with cloud hosting service CloudFlare.
The company’s flagship Clone X profile image collection was created in collaboration with renowned artist Murakami Takahashi Village, whose Animus collection stopped displaying each colorful image, instead showing the same black background and white text as the result, where everything is stored in chains.
I read an image that was exchanged for “This content is restricted.” “Using CloudFlare’s Basic Services in this way is a violation of the terms of service.”
As an NFT collector for X (formerly Twitter) I realized it and started enjoying this problemRTFKT Technology Head Samuel Cardillo said the issue was a result of a CloudFlare contract that ended incorrectly a few days earlier.
“For some reason, this morning, CloudFlare decided to move to the free plan just a few days before the end of the contract.” Cardillo posted on x. He added that the move is something the artwork is no longer shown, as intended for Ethereum NFT.
According to Cardillo, the infrastructure changes were already under discussion in December, when RTFKT was in the sun, but the delays had not been officially decided until earlier this month.
Saving images and other data Being associated with NFTS has previously been a hot topic, and many users are unaware that all the data associated with them (such as images and metadata) will place all the data associated with the chain along with the token itself, and store them together with the blockchain to which they are associated.
If the data is not stored on-chain, the project can rely on third parties to continue hosting and displaying the data, or MOOT the impermeability or uniqueness of those tokens.
For example, a $11 million NFT music album hosted by Central provider has gone missing It’s been a while since it was purchased from a clever gateway. And when Crypto Exchange FTX collapsed in late 2022, some of the NFT collections launched through the company’s platform It was broken Because the server is no longer online.
Images from RTFKT collection It slowly began to appear again Once CloudFlare allegedly fixed the contract issue, Cardillo is working on making the files on-chain-on, making sure it doesn’t happen again.
“I will work closely with the (The) AR Drive team to spread out both Clonex and Animus to ensure that the downtime (will) of my favorite art doesn’t happen again after April 30th,” he said.
AR Drive is an open source app that utilizes Arweave’s popular decentralized storage network, allowing users to store one payment on an ongoing basis.
Cardillo said Decryption You will need to store around 200GB of files, which will cost around $2,800 via an AR drive. Website Price Calculator.
That’s what rtfkt was Closed by Nike in Decemberthree years after the Sportswear giant acquired a blockchain fashion and technology company in a private total.
