Bundlr Network, which enables fast, multichain support for Arweave, is happy to announce that it has partnered with Formfunction, the 1/1 NFT marketplace for Solana, to enable easy access to Arweave.

Arweave is among the first decentralised data networks and the only that can store data permanently. It is the most secure way to store data.

By using Arweave via Bundlr, Formfunction is ensuring that their data, including NFT metadata, is as secure as possible. This is a strategic decision by the Formfunction team since, contrary to popular belief, NFT’s digital assets, metadata, and code are not always stored on their native blockchain but on centralised servers. This leaves the NFT at risk of being lost if there were a hard drive failure or if a node went offline. Given the tremendous amount of money in NFTs, this is a huge risk for creators and developers. Using Arweave and Bundlr removes this risk.

At Formfunction, it was important to make sure that artists and collectors alike trust that the NFTs they are creating and buying are stored in a permissionless, decentralised, and lasting way. It is happy to bring the benefit of lasting, decentralised artwork to users by partnering with Bundlr. As a team building for a multiyear paradigm shift in the web and creator economy, lasting infrastructure was paramount to implement. Bundlr helps the team realise that vision by providing the best set of tools for accessing Arweave.
