Metadata, IPFS, and Pinata

How trustor stores your NFT images and JSON.

3 min read

trustor uses Pinata to pin NFT artwork and metadata JSON to IPFS.

When you launch an NFT collection without supplying a base URI:

  1. Your cover image is uploaded to IPFS → ipfs://<image-cid>
  2. A metadata JSON is built with name, symbol, description, image URL.
  3. The JSON is pinned → ipfs://<meta-cid>
  4. The contract's baseURI is set to the metadata CID so wallets and marketplaces can render it.

You can override this by pasting your own ipfs:// or HTTPS base URI before deploying.
