Share a brief history of your project and organization

NFT.Storage was created in 2021 to be an "Internet Archive" of NFTs, storing off-chain NFT data as a public good using the Filecoin network.

Is this project associated with other projects/ecosystem stakeholders?

Yes

If answered yes, what are the other projects/ecosystem stakeholders

This project is associated with Protocol Labs. Projects have plans for independence.

Describe the data being stored onto Filecoin

User uploaded data that, per the NFT.Storage Terms of Service (https://nft.storage/terms), must be legitimate off-chain NFT data. In addition, NFT.Storage is likely to scrape NFT data using on-chain references in the future.

User uploads

If you are a data preparer. What is your location (City and Country)

Seattle, WA

If you are a data preparer, how will the data be prepared? Please include tooling used and technical details?

The data preparer is DAG House, which builds client tools and runs infrastructure for NFT.Storage and web3.storage. Users upload CAR files directly, which are then aggregated into sector sized CAR files. Our client libraries do the CAR conversion for users. One example can be found here: https://github.com/web3-storage/w3up-cli

If you are not preparing the data, who will prepare the data? (Provide name and business)

No response

Has this dataset been stored on the Filecoin network before? If so, please explain and make the case why you would like to store this dataset again to the network. Provide details on preparation and/or SP distribution.

Sort of. We previously stored NFT.Storage data using the same Datacap wallet found here (https://github.com/filecoin-project/filecoin-plus-large-datasets/issues/1838). As copies of data expire that were stored using this other wallet, we will use this wallet to re-up the number of replicas.

Please share a sample of the data
