ArDrive, an application based on the Arweave blockchain, has announced a partnership with NFT.NYC aimed at permanently preserving creators' digital artwork.
Partnership with NFT.NYC
ArDrive, in collaboration with OneHub, provides artists at NFT.NYC access to permanent and secure storage for their works. This partnership highlights the significance of artwork preservation at the annual event taking place in New York City on June 25-26, 2025.
Benefits of ArDrive
ArDrive ensures secure data storage that verifies the origin and ownership of works, protecting them from copying and misuse. The 'pay-once-store forever' model from Arweave guarantees that nothing stored through ArDrive can ever be lost. Furthermore, ArDrive has rescued NFT collections like CrypToadz and Degenerate Ape Academy from loss due to reliance on centralized cloud providers.
Importance of Permanent Storage for Digital Art
Given that most digital art is not stored on-chain, it is susceptible to censorship and loss. ArDrive has already preserved over 18 million files in the last five years, aiming to impact the digital art landscape by empowering artists to permanently store their works.
The collaboration between ArDrive and NFT.NYC underscores the importance of preserving digital art. With innovative permanent storage technologies, artists can ensure their works are saved forever, protecting their rights and legacies.
