Leveraging Arweave in Marmalade with Akord
Given the immutable characteristic of NFTs, the associated data's long-term accessibility and sustainability are critical aspects to consider. Akord has emerged as a powerful tool to handle these requirements, and its importance is underscored in the context of Marmalade.
Arweave is a pioneering protocol designed to modernise the internet's foundational structures, augmenting its capacity for storing, addressing, and accessing data. This technology is central to our approach to dealing with NFT data, ensuring its perpetual availability and integrity and thereby strengthening the overall dependability of the NFTs hosted on Marmalade.
What is Akord?
Akord is a platform built on the Arweave blockchain that helps NFT projects and creators get the most out of permanent storage and data ownership. Akord facilitates easy uploading to Arweave, caching, reposting, file management, end-to-end encryption, notifications, token-gated access, private messaging, note creation and more.
Everything in Akord happens through public or private digital vaults, where you can invite others and set access control.
