IPFS.Blockfrost.dev - Images not showing up

Closed this issue · 4 comments

We have a recent mint that is still not pulling images for all our content with IPFS links using the IPFS.Blockfrost.dev/IPFS/{IPFS-hash}convention in our metadata. Here is an example transaction id - any guidance would be appreciated on this!

This token metadata is not compliant to CIP 25 format, it is missing the image property:

PS: remember that you can test your metadata before minting using:

What's wrong with this?
image

The location property is not part of CIP 25 and is therefore not used.

The image property uses an HTTP link which is not supported and will likely never be because it removes the benefits of a decentralized network.

For now only IPFS and data URLs are supported in image property, for example:

"image": "ipfs://QmQWKqnUKN1fuLAHVTY5skVqg4pGhNmHWLncWDaqB9vMx9"

Note that you can look at any CNFT metadata using the technique described here:
