I Checked Where My “Decentralized” NFTs Actually Live and Found AWS Links Everywhere
Bought NFTs from three different projects claiming full decentralization. Checked the metadata. Every single one pointed to Amazon S3 buckets or Cloudflare IPFS gateways. If those services go down or companies stop paying hosting bills, my NFTs become broken links. Not exactly the permanent ownership blockchain promised.
Vanar’s Neutron compression stores actual files on-chain as Seeds. Not links to files. The files themselves living on validators. That’s the difference between claiming decentralization and actually building it. Most projects take shortcuts because on-chain storage costs too much. Vanar made it affordable.
Wonder how many “blockchain” projects are actually decentralized versus just marketing.
