Pinata - creating a community for Web3 creators
Pinata is the first multimedia hub for NFT creators, builders, and artists in the decentralized world of web 3. Pinata's vision is to foster a sense of place for every creator on the internet that is uniquely theirs. Building the largest pinning service on IPFS, Pinata gives users the ability to upload, manage, and share their content whenever, wherever and, with whomever they want.
The simple and clean IPFS API and toolkit of the app simplifies immutable data that remains constant once the coding is done. The IPFS pinning service of the platform provides its users with the much-needed speed and stability that is necessary for any production application management. Pinata believes only in a decentralized networking system by working on one node at a time. The app is designed to enhance web decentralization by building advanced tools and innovative infrastructure to ensure that developers are able to manage content on the IPFS with ease.
Pinata, announced the release of their newest product feature dubbed ‘Submarining.’ Pinata has been a household name that users have relied on for their interplanetary file system (IPFS). Pinata’s powerful but easy-to-use product allows users to upload, share, and manage files with unmatched speed throughout the IPFS network. One problem that was brought to their attention by their user base was that since IPFS is a public network, it lacks the privacy and security many users need. Through user research and customer feedback, Pinata knew that there were many users in the NFT space that required more protection for their content, without losing the ability to share and display their work anywhere.
Thus, the introduction of Pinata’s newest feature, Submarining, came in. Submarining will allow users on Pinata’s Professional Plan to turn on and off the submarining feature when they are uploading a file to the platform. If a user does not want the file to be available to the IPFS public network, they can simply turn on “Submarine” which will hide the information from the network. While the feature is still in beta, the company continues to expand on its offerings for users’ needs. With Submarining, users can now set properties such as who can view the NFT files that are submarined, how long they can view them, and more.
