Storing your NFT Data with ArDrive Web – Help Center

Whether you are creating NFTs on Ethereum, Solana, or Tezos, storing your NFT data and metadata with ArDrive means you do not have to worry about it disappearing.

ArDrive makes your art & metadata fault tolerant and tamper proof.

Storing your NFT data on ArDrive is a simple and straightforward process.

At this point, we’re assuming that you have already created an account and are logged in to ArDrive. If not, get started with our Create a Wallet article first.

Create a Public Drive

You want your NFT to be seen - it needs be in a public Drive!

Upload your image files

Create a folder in your public Drive and name it 'Images'. Upload your NFT images into this folder.

Create a Manifest for your images

Arweave manifests tie data together - instead of referencing every individual image transaction ID, the manifest gives your images a single transaction ID to reference.

Upload your NFT metadata

Our good friend Cowboy Coder went in depth into NFT metadata. Upload your metadata the same way you uploaded your images.

Create a Manifest for your metadata

Just like you made one for your images.

Working with NFT marketplaces

Now you have an NFT on the Arweave blockweave where both the transaction and image will last permanently.

You can now upload your NFT to other popular NFT marketplaces like OpenSea with confidence that the NFT that you are selling will be around forever!

When listing your NFT be sure that you share your Arweave link with your file’s Data Transaction ID, eg https://arweave.net/4OIZ1pAi3KZvEnZZ1af15BIuL3Y_ql32WWIrTpQc69Y
