Skidra offers several different options to store your NFT linked assets.
Skidra hosted
We at Skidra can host the assets for you.
Every Skidra subscription comes with a limit of storage that can be allocated to your assets. As long as your subscription lasts we are going to store your assets. It is possible to purchase additional storage.
IPFS hosted
Should you wish to keep the assets on chain and independent of your contract with Skidra, you can choose to host the assets on IPFS. Each asset hosting has to be paid for in addition to the usual minting hosts.
External URL / your hosting
You can choose to host the assets your yourself.
