@SeverMM @paulboldut @beniaminmincu Looking about NFTs and what Elrond is doing, this idea came to my mind to solve a problem I saw: Seeing the effort Elrond made to make NFTs real ownerships, it still scary me the fact that NFTs art are actually not more than links to the place where the file is stored. And here comes the problem: project use ipfs cause it's safe and decentralised but the protocol store the files on centralised systems that aren't free. Essentially, if I buy an Elrond ape for example and pinata folder (a service example) is breached/corrupted or elrond ape team stops paying for the service, all elrond ape would simply redirect to a path that no longer exist or is empty... An NFT with an empty jpeg URL attached (or no more JSON file so no more datas for it). So, since Elrond is making a huge effort to make NFT real ownership and storing the actual file on the Blockchain would cost too much, why not making an optional service with the new NFT marketplace creators can chose for that add an additional royalty (for example +0.5%), and with the money collected from it make a long term collaboration with a decentralized storage project (like the one you made a partner with) where NFTs files are stored and make that NFT the key to access that specific folder, becoming 100% the owner of the NFT and the files attached. It would be financially sustainable and would let people feel more safe, not having to worry about the project stopping to pay for the files storage and giving life-time NFT storage. Need to have some limitations of course to prevent some attacks. Maybe it doesn't make sense, maybe it does :). Just a thing that came into my mind to solve that NFT issue. The solution may not be the best, but I think something should be thought or our NFT will be ours, but not the files they are attached with. And how can I be sure I buy an NFT that is redirected to a specific folder will be worth something in 40 years if the place it's stored in can vanish cause I don't have any control over it?
