AIOZ Pin Knowledge Hub
Persistent data plays a critical role in decentralized applications. From distributed storage to pinning mechanisms, ensuring that files remain available is fundamental for building reliable systems. Here we explore the technologies and practices that help developers manage and maintain decentralized data.
Explore how pinning, distributed storage, and decentralized infrastructure work together to keep data reliably available.

Content Addressing for NFTs: How to Verify a CID Yourself
How to verify a CID yourself instead of trusting it: a CID is a hash of an NFT asset, not an assigned address, so you can recompute and check it directly.
AIOZ Pin API Keys: Auth, Scopes, and Secure Storage
AIOZ Pin API keys are scoped, not one master secret with full access to every operation. Here is exactly how the auth headers and scopes work in practice.
