0 / 5 completed✨ NFT Metadata Mastery: Key Takeaways
Congratulations! You have explored NFT metadata from JSON structure to storage solutions. Let's solidify your knowledge.
Metadata Structure
NFT metadata is JSON defining name, description, image, and attributes. Follows ERC-721/1155 standards for marketplace compatibility.
Choose Standards Wisely
ERC-721 for most projects (art, PFPs). ERC-1155 for gaming (batch ops, fungible mix). Custom only if experimental.
Storage Matters
IPFS + pinning service is the standard (cost-effective, decentralized). Arweave for permanence. Never use pure HTTP for production.
Build with Best Practices
Consistent trait names enable filtering. Validate JSON before upload. Test on testnets. Use proper IPFS pinning.
🎯 The Metadata Checklist
- ✓Follows ERC-721 or ERC-1155 standard
- ✓Consistent trait_type across collection
- ✓Image stored on IPFS or Arweave
- ✓Metadata JSON pinned reliably
- ✓Clear, descriptive name and description
- ✓Tested on OpenSea testnet
- ✓Backup storage in multiple locations
- ✓JSON validated for syntax errors
