Optimism and OP Stack-based rollups enable high-throughput applications to run on scalable Layer 2 chains with fast finality. But alongside speed and specialized blockspace comes an essential challenge—secure and censorship-resistant data availability (DA). Below, we explore why IPFS (in combination with Pinata as a pinning service) offers a robust

Base AppChains enable high-throughput applications to run on dedicated rollups with near-instant withdrawals. But with great speed and specialized blockspace comes an equally important challenge—secure, resilient, and tamper-proof data storage. Below we’ll explore why IPFS (in combination with Pinata as a pinning service) is an ideal data availability

Running IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) locally, on a Raspberry Pi for example, is relatively straightforward. You can even deploy an IPFS node to a cloud provider without much difficulty. We wrote about doing this as part of having a remote node that syncs with Pinata as your persistence layer. This

Just about everyone building products uses AI to help debug, learn, and build. When done right, this is a superpower and it should be celebrated. However, it can be difficult to build when an API has new features and endpoints that the LLM is not aware of. And things are

At Pinata, we’ve seen our fair share of setups when it comes to delivering content on IPFS. People use our Dedicated IPFS Gateways to serve their files quickly and reliably across the globe. But every now and then, we see users trying to stack another CDN on top of

Introduction The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is often seen as a fundamental building block of the decentralized web (Web3), enabling censorship-resistant, distributed storage. Unlike traditional cloud services like AWS or Google Cloud, IPFS does not rely on centralized data centers. Instead, it uses a peer-to-peer network where users can store

Today, we’re excited to announce Webhooks, powered by our partner Svix. Webhooks allow developers to receive messages to their API server based on events that happen in their Pinata account. For example, a developer can set up a webhook that receives an event every time a file is uploaded

As one of the leading providers of storage for NFT files, we have seen many different use cases and project types in the space. These range from individual artists to project collectives to DAOs to development studios. In all cases, it’s likely that whomever is launching the NFTs will
