Flow

Most NFTs store their artwork off-chain, on IPFS, Arweave, or centralized servers. The metadata might point to ipfs://Qm... or https://api.example.com/token/1, leaving the actual image hosted elsewhere. This works, but it introduces dependencies. IPFS gateways go down. Centralized servers get shut off. Your "permanent" NFT suddenly has a broken image.On-chain SVG NFTs solve this by storing the artwork directly in the smart contract. The SVG markup lives on the blockchain forever, rendered by any browser that reads the token's metadata. No external dependencies. No broken links. True permanence.

Modern development increasingly relies on pairing developers with AI assistants, and @onflow/react-sdk is the first Flow toolkit designed specifically for this reality.

Before I ever owned a digital collectible, I was deep in the world of physical sports cards. From my home here in Toronto, my lifelong passion for basketball found an outlet in the world of collecting.
