Issues with NFT Storage
NFT no doubt is the hottest topic in the current decentralized world but the current storage of NFT underlying resources cannot yet be solved on the chain itself. On one hand, the cost of storage on the mainstream blockchain is extremely high. On the other hand, existing decentralized storage solutions are mostly cold-storage and cannot provide metadata-relevant storage and query solutions, resulting in low usage experience.

What is CATA?
CATA provides a complete one-stop solution for Dapp data storage. CATA creatively extends the IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) protocol to provide decentralized storage while achieving flexible metadata management, and is also compatible with SQL queries, providing extremely user-friendly and developer-friendly data access.

CATA Interaction with FLOW
CATA has designed a set of interaction protocols for Flow's Cadence contract layer, enabling integration and full traceability of token transactions and data storage, providing a one-stop solution for NFT publishing, storage, management and distribution. It is fully compatible with Cadence's resource-oriented capabilities, allowing Cadence developers to easily connect NFT contracts to storage facilities.

Core Concept

The current decentralized network is still far from true production deployment, and the scenarios that can be truly implemented today are extremely limited. The main reason for this is the lack of infrastructure. Although throughput of public blockchain increased significantly the storage protocol itself is still at an early stage. Storage solutions in the traditional world often consider both storage and retrieval, but the current mainstream of decentralized storage (such as IPFS, Filecoin) is almost pure storage, which cannot meet the requirements of data retrieval and content delivery. And some bandwidth-based data distribution projects (such as Meson Network) are also difficult to meet flexible query requirements.
CATA project begins in 2015 with goal of developing a more powerful distributed storage protocol and providing more flexible and user-friendly features for the storage system to create a more complete infrastructure forthe decentralized world.
The underlying layer of CATA is a general decentralized file system that accounts for storage and retrieval capabilities. Above the file system layer, CATA provides a flexible metadata management engine. In the current phase, CATA will leverage NFT as the first use case and collaborate with Flow Blockchain to provide users with a one-stop NFT platform.

Distributed Storage and Retrieval: as a fundamental capability of decentralized storage, data should be persistently stored on the network and ensure permanent availability. In addition, the CATA protocol guarantees high storage performance, supports reading and writing large amounts of data, and achieves practical cost. Compared to cold storage, CATA puts more design energy on retrieval and supports content-based flexible queries (instead of just file download) to meet fine-grained data organization requirements (e.g., NFT classification retrieval).

Metadata Engine: on top of the underlying decentralized file system, CATA has developed an independent metadata layer, Minerva. Minerva combines the serverless query engine with the underlying storage protocol. The CATA node is not only a storage resource provider, but also a service provider for the query engine. It is responsible for storing and querying structured metadata as well as parsing and tasking query requests. Therefore, users can flexibly define and decentrally manage structured and fine-grained metadata. At the same time, Minerva provides support for SQL queries, supports indexing, sorting, searching, and other semantics to meet the needs of Dapp developers, and minimizes dependency on centralized storage solutions.


Full lifecycle solution for NFT storage: the current NFT scenario relies on blockchain networks (e.g., Flow or ETH) to build a marketplace, and metadata storage often relies on centralized storage solutions (e.g., AWS), or content is stored on a decentralized storage protocol (e.g., IPFS) and then linked to the on-chain marketplace through additional operations, which negatively impacts the NFT user experience. The CATA storage protocol extends from the circulation layer on the blockchain, the Minerva metadata layer, to the underlying system layer, covering the business logic of NFT data storage, the associations between the on-chain and Off-chain worlds, and the entire process of token circulation. It provides a one-stop NFT experience.


CATA Distribution
The total number of CATA tokens we plan to issue is 20,000,000 for network building and community governance. And the CATA tokens are required to be distributed to the world in the following manner.
1. Mining. A portion of the tokens will be distributed  as network incentives to workers who provide hardware resources to the CATA network.
2. Ecosystem Building. A portion of the tokens will be used for ecosystem building such as incentives for qualified contributors. Also, a portion of the tokens will be set aside for subscriptions by institutions and community participants.
3. Team&Foundation Reservation: A portion of the tokens will be used to build the technical team and cover the operational costs.
4. Signup Educational Program: The purpose of the program is to spread knowledge of decentralized storage around the world, and enable more users and Dapps to experience the new manner of decentralized storage service provided by CATA .Our goal is to reach as many people and decentralized projects as possible with our educational programs before running out of funds.
5. Bitcoin Program: A portion of the tokens will be set aside to be distributed to holders of Bitcoin and Flow to build early reputation in the existing decentralized community as well as in the mainstream NFT community.


Community Ambassador Recruitment
CATA is a community driven project and offers incentives for expanding the community.
Anyone who participates in CATA community development (construction and management) and meet corresponding standards will be awarded with privilege for token sale.
They need to establish a community for management and meet corresponding standards, Community ambassadors can get the amount of early-stage community financing and participate in the early-stage construction and development of CATA. At the same time they have to contribute to CATA, build a community and manage it. The screening system should be as strict as possible.

AFAIK we have already filecoin who provide similar things. Can you tell a newbie like me how you differ with already existing projects like filecoin that are providing storage facility.

Filecoin is a file system. It is more like a cold storage facility, focusing on the storage function itself. CATA has not only built a decentralized file system protocol, but also a flexible metadata query engine on the upper layer that can support SQL. And we will continue to expand the upper layer storage facility to provide a more complete decentralized big data system.

Do you have any plan to enlist on any exchnage? secondly, whats the price of CATA token right now, if I wanna buy it now.

In my view, DAPPs evolution with time may generate need for advance decentralized storage and by then we can only see how effective are such storage solutions. Those who are already in this niche will defiantly get the edge.

CATA has identified one shortage of NFT n proposed its solution.
Do you have any plan to launched some other features also or stick with storage only?

CATA is still in private sale stage for now. We plan to gradually enlist on exchange after the mainnet  is launched.

Actually，we are focusing on general decentralized storage solution.
NFT is the hottest topic currently and it has strong requirement of storage. That's why we plan to build the first version of CATA for NFT.

Is there any MVP or demo available where we can see this working in actual? Can you also offer comments on how fast one can retrieve his data using your platform?

As per my understanding, this project is taking concept of Filecoin one step ahead i.e. it will easy to retrieve data from the storage since there is metadata layer available. What else do you offer apart from this feature?

Yes. By analogy, Filecoin is a file system, and we will act as a database, cache, cdn, etc. in addition to a file system.

NFT is perhaps one of very few concepts that have received good response from community.
I have a query regarding cata, can you give an analysis of how much cost effective is data storage on this blockchain and how much benefit it gives to user.?

NFT projects are at very early stages and NFT has the potential to reach 10x. So there is no reason not to invest here. Game development will find nft based storage ideal. Since its fast n easy to access data from nft blockchain  and not to forget its low price.

Flow Blockchain has gained success in very short time and addressing both Flow and nft storage in one single project is big deal. OP you have necessary team that can develop this project? Since its a big project, development requires trained manpower.

Blockchain is complex and right now there is no single file system available that can meet upper layer expectations. We need more of stuff that can handle databases, data warehouses, CDNs etc. If CATA is the solution designed for this then it will be a huge success.

After going this thread I have a question, CATA is designed only to handle NFT projects or it can handle platform developed for general blockchain? Handling sql queries, indexing is very useful for eCommerce projects, can they get benefit from CATA?

Since NFT has strong storage and retrieval requirements, we plan to take NFT as our first target scenario, which will guide the first phase of development of CATA.
Of course there are more scenarios that will require indexing, and we will move on to the next iteration when the first phase of product is stable. General-purposed storage will also be one of our goals.

I think it will be great if you embed general-purpose storage also in CATA. Since this will allow more members to have stake in CATA, we dont know how long this summer of NFT will long. If CATA provides general storage also then it will continue to grow even if we have NFT winters.

Hi
i am interested in CATA Community Ambassador Recruitment, the reward for this program is limited to CATA tokens only or is there any other reward also in BTC, ETC, FLOW etc. Let me know if admin is reading this.

How long have you been working in digital or crypto industry? Because now it looks like your team very fast made project using very popular theme - NFT - for making fast money.

You must also try to reach investors in person not just rely on crowd funding. This will give you a wide spectrum for attracting investors for this project. Due to too much scam in crypto industry, investors are scared of investing in new projects. But if you have a legitimate project then do approach them from different angles.

Im feeling doubt to accuse this as another money grabber or fast money for the developers.
This is not a money grabber like so many garbage projects that issued by the scammers in the market.
CATA was also working on the cloud storage for the NFT.

I thought that the team has been working on the crypto since a long time ago or have enough experience.

CATA dev, can you tell me where i can find more information about the social group of CATA. I can only find twitter and github but it's better to talk with the developers directy

Unfortunately it has become a norm to accuse a project as scam without any solid evidence. CATA is no doubt a superb project with a very strong use case. If there team can develop what they are projecting then it will be surely a moon shot.

This is a great initiative and every crypto project should spare some funds for such educational programs. New people joining the crypto world doesn't know wts the difference b/w decentralized (BTC) and centralized (XRP). Its very important to keep alive the original concept of crypto proposed by Satoshi back in 2008.

Though there are already a lot of free info from the net, still, this initiative is a very much appreciated.
This will also encourage their platform users to enrich themselves with knowledge that will give them more in-depth understanding of the topic.
Many people here even long timers don't have the full grasp of what can DAPPS do in advancing their experience in crypto industry.

This must be made mandatory for every new crypto project. The essence of crypto is decentralization, with new concepts ( meme/ deflationary / NFTs ) emerging all the time and new users joining in, if its not informed to new users the gradually people will think that anything listed on CMC is crypto.

NFTs are one of most discussed thing right now in crypto market. There are many successful NFT projects also but majority of them are in there initial stages. It will take sometime before we can say that how well they really performed.
Going through this thread really educated me about NFT, I really have no idea that NFTs are facing storage issues. Lets see how well CATA cater this problem.

Action speaks louder then the words. Lets see how much they spend on educating the community about the underlying technology.
Crypto is vast field and lots of new concepts have evolved over the decade. It necessary to understand crypto, blockchain, NFT etc since that will help the users in deciding whether the project is worth investing or its just something that cant be done practically.

Of course, I would like to see here another successful project. But we all saw here very many scam projects. And a lot of us lost own money there. Crypto market is full of different scammers. So, I want to find out more information about project, before I will begin work with it.

That's very much true. Due to too many scams happening in crypto, the community is way more alert then before.
Reason why I liked this project is because they have provided a valid solution for NFT storage problem. Its something badly missing and is attainable. I will defiantly keep an eye on this project.

As per there whitepaper, "CATA Network's mission is to provide a general purpose cloud storage infrastructure for Web 3.0. The plan is to build a more complete storage system, or rather, a decentralized Big Data system, to provide more flexible, scalable, and practical data management services for upper layer of decentralized applications."

Defiantly we have to wait for a while to see this in action. Those who can take risk, may invest right now.

The usual risk in this type of project is that we need to wait if they can truly realize their mission. Right now, we have no idea if they have the capability to implement those objectives or not. Most projects have promising start up until they are already in the implementation stage. Very few can attain success when it comes to implementation. So let's see how far they can achieve in this endeavor.

You are right, we need to wait and see what they come up with. But there is draw back in waiting, once they roll out with the product price of there token will be very high. In that case only early birds can get the huge profit. That's why I was saying those who want good profit may take risk at this moment.

Whats the best way to visualize this concept. It looks very much complex in theory, is there any way new people like me can get info of how this project looks like in reality.

I have submitted my application today. Admin can you please check and reply. Also I wanna know, whether newbies like me can join this campaign or its for senior members only.

Well that's something interesting. As blockchain student I am well aware that NFT based projects need huge data storage and quick retrieval of data is a big plus. But can you give comparison of how fast CATA retrieval is when compared with traditional blockchains?

But CATA is different things they are into NFT business for quite sometime and as per my info there team has done many projects related to NFT. Its a big test for them since its a big project, seeing there past performance there are bright chances they will do this also.

The way NFT projects are moving forward they will need something for managing there storage and those who jump early in this category will get most of there share. Only thing we need is good solution that works for NFT projects.

This is what I extracted while going through there document section. CATA is basically designing protocols for FLOW blockchain, this is big thing as FLOW has already gathered a big market.

With more and more DAPPs rolling out, there is growing demand for Dapp data storage. I personally like the idea of extending current IPFS protocol by CATA to provide decentralized storage while achieving flexible metadata management. Just waiting to see this in action.

NFTs are no doubt the most discussed topics in crypto world these days. But we cant say with certainty that they will become fundamental part of the crypto currency. But you are right in saying that NFTs will defiantly need decentralized storage that is easy to access and customizable.

AFAIK, NFTs and FLOW are both a hit thing these days. The target of CATA is both NFT and FLOW i.e to provide a decentralized storage solution for FLOW blockchain. There is lot much to be done in CATA project and there is huge audience waiting to see it coming out.

With circulation layer above metadata layer and file storage layer provides great flexibility while retrieving data.  CATA is leveraging NFT as the first use case and collaborate with Flow Blockchain to provide users with a one-stop NFT platform.

Free info is available but you cant be sure whether its authentic or not. If some real project is educating the community about crypto and blockchain its beneficial that info given is authentic. This info will help the community in seperating the fake projects with the real one. In my opinion very project must allocate some funds for such activities.

Whenever any coin in crypto goes up it goes way up. If you wanna take chance in any coin then better invest in it before its officially launched on exchanges. CATA seems very solid project to me and I am keeping a close eye on it, specially on its compliance with FLOW blockchains.

The project idea is great, other than that this project was created with the Flow community. However, there is still not much information displayed on the site, when does the team plan to release full project information?

That's quite true. If you go through there site you wont find any details about team, roadmap and sale. CATA is designing protocols that are for FLOW blockchain and this is something huge. I am interested in investing some cash in this project, OP can u share some details of token sale?

The details of token sale even not exist on their whitepaper, or this is because there's no token sale for the project.
But when I judge by op post, about token distribution I see portion token for qualified contributors, I quite believe the meaning is should be going to who participated on sale.

The community ambassador program is for person that advertise CATA project to people. This program will help in bringing more people to CATA community. Building a strong community is good initiative for long run success.

Cloud computing is a great idea along with NFT. I have seen another new project called vaccine coin, where they are going to use NFT in medicine to prevent the pandemic viruses.

AFAIK they are building a general purpose cloud storage infrastructure for Web 3.0 that is different from current decentralized
storage solutions (e.g. Filecoin, Arweave, etc.).
Its not just a specific storage module (e.g. file system or database). Rather they are building a more complete storage system, or rather, a decentralized Big Data system, to provide more flexible, scalable, and practical data management services for upper layer of decentralized applications.

Decentralized BDS (Minerva) and Decentralized FS (IPFS) are what CATA offers as new infrastructure for decentralized data storage. Definatly its something badly required in decentralized data storage.

There are many projects that are moving to NFT and in near future we will see more and more NFT based projects. CATA has done a great job by providing solutions of problems that are very soon to be encountered.

NFT in very short time has gone up to the moon. It seems that this trend of NFT won't end very soon rather it will go more up in days to come. I think we need to see more details of this project like who is behind them and token sale. I am interested in buying it but have no idea how to buy it. Can OP guide me?

Yes. If you go and look around this forum you will find lots of posts related to NFT. CATA is killing two birds with one stone i.e targeting FLOW blockchain and solving decentralized storage problems. Lets see whether they roll out what they promised ?

Whenever new things come in crypto mart everyone went crazy and start running after it but in the end we only see BTC and few alt coins that are standing firmly. I don't think same may be the case with NFT as they have solid idea and will remain there in years to come. Its just my 2 cents.

Right now there is debate everywhere about NFT. I can see NFTs on Binance also. For the time being they are hit and everyone running after them but cant say about there future.
CATA has done some good thing by jumping straight away with solution for FLOW blockchain and decentralization storage. 

Flow blockchain is one of the popular blockchain offering NFT solutions. CATA is set of protocols that are made to be in compliance with FLOW. This is a big task. I just wanna know whether CATA has necessary team to come with such solutions.

This project is really good and innovative but the team is not doing justice to this project by hiding the dev info and token sale. I request the team to kindly tell us how much platform they have developed so far and how much is left behind. Moreover, token sale info also needs to be there on-site by now. I am interested to know wt protocols they are developing for flow blockchain.

CATA is aiming to build a new complete infrastructure for decentralized data storage. If we talk about Decentralized apps they have more complex data storage requirements. Not a single file system can meet all of upper layer applications.  The current decentralized ecosystem desperately needs more tools (e.g., databases, data warehouses, CDNs...), which is  exactly the role that CATA is expected to play.

The way BTC is going I am very much sure we will see alt coins in action too. Can someone guide how and where to buy CATA?

Its good project that is targeting both FLOW blockchain and storage over the blockchain. Its like killing two birds with single stone.

Seems like the project is in its initial stages thats why we dont see info related to token sale, team etc. This is just my suggestion to CATA team that they must seek funding from private investors also not just rely on crowdfunding.

Grab as much CATA as you can before it's officially launched. This coin has the ability to go up. I can't say what price it will acquire but it will be a good one. The use case they have proposed is certainly attract more and more investors with time.

Crypto market is embracing NFT revolution with open arms and there are fair chances that NFT will be the new big thing in crypto market after BTC. I think the idea put forwarded by CATA is realistic and very much desired, lets see when they come up with original project.

There is dire need for general purpose cloud storage that can be used by all DAPPs in current environment and this is what CATA main aim is. If CATA comes up with what they promised i.e. to provide more flexible, scalable, and practical data management services for upper layer of decentralized applications. no one can control them from going to moon.

There are many people in queue to see the results of CATA. But i don't see much update on website nor here. OP can you please update us where I can find update about this project. Since I am interested in investing here.

Going through there docs I came to know that "CATA's Metadata Engine, Minerva, is released now!".

Its a data query engine built upon a combination of three co-operating components: Qri- the data management tool, Drill- the distributed query engine, and IPFS- the storage backend. (source (https://cata-1.gitbook.io/cata-docs/introduction/minerva))

Thats a good news. We need to learn more such news to get familiar with whats going on.
Minerva is back bone on CATA. It takes benefit of flexibility of Drill’s query engine and the scalability facto of IPFS's filesystem which is decentralized. Every user of Minerva has a local node, and the Minerva nodes form a peer-to-peer network. A user who has a particular dataset in her local store is a provider for that dataset, and can accept queries about it from other users in the network.

The concept of decentralized storage system is much awaited solution which crypto industry will welcome with open arms. CATA has secured it future share by jumping in this niche at very beginning.

How do I buy this?

This is something I am badly looking for. Despite all my efforts I cant find answer to this query. If I can get to know how can I buy CATA, I will defiantly grab lots of them. I am sure it will go up but with time.

Indeed, there is not a word about private sale or sales at all in the documentation or in the Whitepaper.
The project is announced in the token-related section of the forum, so it would be strange if it had its own source of funding.
I think we just have to wait for the announcement of tokenomics details and roadmap.

Exactly! We think there is still a big gap in the decentralized storage, especially in the mid-tier tools part. That's what we hope to do. We are currently able to provide sql-compatible query engines and will introduce more useful tools in the future.

Everything looks great and from what I can see a lot of people would like to invest in this idea now.
Could you please provide some information about the token you want to create and its functionalities, or at least some approximate date of starting the sale?

Can you explain what services you are offering to improve mid-tier tools in decentralized storage? Moreover, you still missed the key point that is asked on this thread over and over again i.e. where we can invest in this project?

Now we have set up a query engine on top of the Decentralized File System, that means developers can manage structured data and query them effectively also in decentralized manner. It may serve like a decentralized database and it is sql-compatible and serverless. And we are going to integrate more tools including cache, cdn, RDF, and even AI-related tools in the future.
And sorry for missing the point about investment. We currently have a fundraising program and it is still in progress. You can send E-mail to investor@cata.network for further information.

And hey!

I see a lot of people are asking about token sale, here is an explanation:
We are currently conducting the only round of fundraising of CATA within the ecosystem. We will accept support from projects in the ecosystem, not only in terms of funding, but also in terms of technical cooperation, community building, etc.
If you would like to invest in this round, you can send e-mails to investor@cata.network, with a brief introduction about yourself. We will reply you as soon as possible and have a further discussion.

Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying the issue. Can you please elaborate what sort of information one should include while writing you the email? I am hearing this for the first time that investors need to tell something about them to invest.

Feel free! Anything, such as projects you've been involved in, or your insights into the crypto, decentralized storage, etc.
Since this project is still in its early stages, we prefer to receive support from projects that are more related to the project itself or to the ecology, rather than just money.
If you are from a related project or organization, we would love to establish a partnership with you. Of course, if you are just a big fan of crypto, we can reserve some amount of tokens for you, but we need to communicate with you by email first.

Thanks!

That's something interesting to read that they will reserve some coins for people who are crypto fan. I think such reservation must be made compulsory by all new projects. People who spend time on study the project must be given due respect.

CATA team has provided one of core solution to blockchain i.e. providing a complete one-stop solution for Dapp data storage. The project is in its early stages and if they can convince investors (not only reply on crowdfunding) they can get huge business. Since those who understand blockchain knows how big this project will be, if they deliver what they are saying.

NFT is coming more stronger then we think, I don't know how they will behave in future but right now everyone is talking about them and thats why i think CATA has huge market to capture. In days to come we see more and more CATA projects and there will more demand of CATA solution i.e. decentralized storage. 

Decentralized storage is required by not only NFTs but also by other blockchain based systems like DAPPs. Many are waiting for the launch of such projects since the NFT domain is overwhelmed by new projects but not many are providing solution to already existing problems. Lets wait and see how this project comes out.

CATA network has two important components, First is metadata storage, which is designed based on Minerva. The second is file storage, which is designed based on IPFS cluster in first period. These both components will help CATA in achieving there goal that is decentralized storage. In future we expect that we have some decentralized storage in some form.

There are some good developments going on in CATA. Recently Hurun Research, the most famous wealthy report media in China, has announced a partnership with CATA network in NFT area. Recently, CATA network dev team has worked with Hurun Research in  launching the NFT collection of 30 & Under Self-Made Billionaires 2021 in China. Source (https://twitter.com/cata_blockchain/status/1451027575006924804)

If you are following CATA Network then you must have heard about there designed of a set of interaction protocols for the Cadence contract layer of Flow, this allows the integration and traceability of token transactions and data storage, this is just another step towards providing a one-stop solution for NFT  publishing, storage, management and circulation.

How much you will reserve for cypto enthusiastic ? I mean if I wanted to reserve 5000 CATA coins for myself then how much I have to pay you and what currencies you are accepting? Its a good project since we dont have any decentralized crypto project in crypto domain, I am sure it will be a big success that why I am interested. 

Decentralized storage is something essential for NFTs, with decentralized storage the concept of NFT remains incomplete. I dont know why not many are thinking about this aspect. The way NFT market is going very soon it will grab a huge crypto market share and at that time we will see full worth of projects like CATA. Buy it now and HODL.

Those who think that NFT dont have big future and ignoring associated projects are missing a huge opportunity to invest. FLOW is backed by chinese team while CATA also looks to be s backed by China. DYOR and try to invest in NFT related projects, you wont regret.

In the world of crypto, new projects never stop coming. They will be coming with time and we need to be very careful while we invest in any of such coin. NFT no doubt today is very popular but will it remain popular still after this bull run or it will be over with that. These are some facts which as an investor you have to keep in your mind.

@blatchcorn whats the best source to find latest update about your project? I mean on which social media platforms you are active. All I can see on your twitter account are just retweets. There is nothing where we find info on how to invest, the tokennomics etc. I suggest be active on platforms like bitcointalk.org, so we get to know more about what you doing.

You can follow us on twitter @cata_blockchain.
If you would like to invest in this round, you can send e-mails to investor@cata.network, with a brief introduction about yourself. We will reply you as soon as possible and have a further discussion.

Thanks~

Real issue is there are not much updated about CATA on twitter page. Can you please update it on weekly basis because by not providing timely updates you are missing key audiences. People will take more interest if you update your twitter page on regular basis. If you dont do this your competitors will do that and gain the benefit.

Twitter should be updated by their recent developments. Usually, it is the first social media channel that will be updated. Because people are more into socmed these days. But would appreciate if they can post some updates in their thread also. This will also help their visibility in this community. Because some people are not familiar with their socmed channels, and more on lurking the forum.

IMO these days no channel should be left unattended whether its Twitter or bitcointalk.org. You don't where your potential customer is. Bitcointalk.org has over 2 million users and almost all of them are crypto literate. You dont find so many crypto subscribers anywhere else. The way OP is active here, I am sure he will discuss this with the team.

Really, there is a problem with CATA team communication with community. There is only one chanel, where we can find interesting for us information about project development - Twitter account. And the last post there was made on 26 October. Besides, it would be better to create blog. It would be another way for us to find out new information about project.

I do agree with you. Its such an interesting project but wasn't able to get attention of community because of lack of updates coming from there dev team. Its good that they have created thread here and OP is reading and replying to message. I am sure he has communicated this concern to officials. Lets see what they do.

It may be possible that they are in there development phase and don't wanna share updates right now. with time we will see updates of this project. but that's strange that they have restricted investment in there project. They must allow people to jump in, trust me lots of people wanna invest in that project.

One of best thing which I like about CATA is there documentation. You can find every detail in there documentation section, really appreciate that effort. The project is also on Github which is also a plus point. CATA is a project that provides a complete one-stop solution for Metaverse data storage.

I have a question that is there any other platform that is offering similar type of solution that is offered by CATA or you are the first one to offer such solution. If you are the unique one then you have better opportunity to have moon short earlier in your life cycle, as you dont find any competitor.

I dont think there is anyother platform that is providing similar type of solution, its CATA that is first one to target FLOW and NFT by providing a decentralized storage solution. This will be a big success if they were able to delvier what they are saying in there technical papers. All eyes are on what they release.

I too have same feelings for this project, its quite a good one if you read complete description of this project. I was amazed to see that such problems exists in crypto and till date no one realized that solution for such problems must be given. The impact area of this project is huge and we will see it once we see the project coming out.

As the title of this project says that its One-stop Storage Solution for NFT means it will cover everything related to NFT. They have targeted Flow blockchain, which is top of the line NFT blockchain. Chances are they will earn huge money in there pre-launch sales. I am waiting for there initial launch.

Well NFTs are far from going down and out, they are here to stay unlike other short lived concepts. What makes CATA unique in this domain is there token real world use cases. CATA is not just another coin that is launched with intention of making money, instead there is strong team behind the project.

I have a different opinion that in start majority of concepts in crypto are able to grab huge attention but with time they lose there popularity. remember the ICO boom in 2017? even shit coins enjoy the ride at that time. But with time they are not that much popular, We need to wait and see how far will NFT go.

All those interested in getting CATA can join there community building program these days. Since thats the only option available to get CATA. Grab every opportunity that help you in acquiring CATA since it will be big hit if the team builds out what they have promised in the whitepaper.

2021 is coming to an end and we have o admit that NFT dominated this year and chances are that it will dominate next year also. All those who fear that NFT is short lived hype phenomena and defiantly living in fools world. TBH there is no best investment then NFT at the moment since its down in price and chances are it will go up with time. 

CATA is providing a complete decentralized storage system that provide scalable storage functionality for the upper Blockchain Systems and Dapps through Minerva Layer. The minerva Layer is most interesting part of CATA, its a data query engine built that has three components: Qri- the data management tool, Drill- the distributed query engine, and IPFS- the storage backend.

The popularity of NFTs can be seen from the fact that melaina trup wife of ex President of USA is going to launch and NFT with her own painting. President Trump was not in favor of crypto when he was in power but deep down in his heart he knows its a valuable thing. Thats why her wife is launching an NFT.

2021 was clearly the year of NFTs and many have recognized it. There are many more to come after Maleina trump, just hold your breath. With rise in popularity of NFTs there will be dire need for decentralized storage also, a short coming many have ignored so far. CATA jumping in this side at very early stage, this will be edge for them.

There are few competitors of CATA like BigchainDB and Cassandra. CATA is not alone in this category. But if you see the comparison chart then CATA has some edges. CATA is going on public blockchain while other two are private or Permissioned blockchain, which in my view are against the crypto ideology.

This might be true analysis but only OP can answer it that why CATA is not launching its pre-sale when its the right time to sale the tokens. I studied this project and it adds to my knowledge that Blockchain is experiencing lack of decentralized storage. Dont know why nobody paid any attention to it.

NFTs have strong requirements for storage and queries, thats the main reason for development of CATA project. CATA has designed a set of interaction protocols for Flow's Cadence contract layer, enabling integration and full traceability of token transactions and data storage, providing a one-stop solution for NFT publishing, storage, management and distribution.

NFTs will gain more popularity in year 2022 then what they got in 2021. So CATA One-stop Storage Solution for NFT idea will get more popularity with its launch in 2022. I searched there site but wasn't able to find the road map? Administrator can you please share the roadmap.

A decentralized storage is not only that has a complete storage system along with data persistence capability, but also provide highly data reading efficiency and flexible retrieval capability to meet all the storage requirements in the Dapp lifecycle. CATA is moving in the right direction for aiming the correct target.

If you wanna try something new and exciting then I think CATA is the right one to be tested in year 2022. They have identified the real shortcomings of NFTs and are developing protocols for FLOW blockchain. It will defiantly be a big success.

NFTs are coming like a hurricance and those who are early adopters to this niche will be the ultimate winners in the long run. I just have a question from OP that in the title of this thread its written that CATA is middleware as well as Decentralized Cloud Storage. Can you explain this a bit?

There is a reason for getting excited about NFTS because everyone is jumping into NFTs. I am not a big fan of such things that are short lived but one must not miss solid projects that are offering solutions. I like CATA not because they are giving NFT based solution rather because they are offering something realistic.

If you are aware of NFT buzz then you are also aware that it wont last that long. Try to stay alert about your investment in NFT based project this hype may go down at any time. You just need to exit them on right time.

Thats the beauty of crypto world, you have to take risk at the right time to get your reward. Though I dont see much risk in investing in this project, as they have defined a clear short coming in decentralized storage. Once they launched actual product then it will be difficult to catch it.

how can you say there is no decentralized storage available ? Remember file coin, they are giving same solution from very early days and there product is very much matured. CATA has done a good job but it will take some time.

The momentum is shifting towards metaverse now keep an eye on that also. 2022 may be year of metaverse. NFTs have generated lots of revenue in 2021 so just be careful about them now.

Whether 2022 is about NFT or about Metaverse still need for decentralized storage will continue to exist unless we have a stable solution for that. CATA is moving in right direction by introducing a product that is badly required in crypto market.

Its almost 6 months since this thread is created and even today there is no info about token sale. May I know when are you planning to go for token sale or it will remain secret from general public?

Better to do pre-sale when you have some development work completed. Majority of projects want to raise money prior of doing any actual development on the project, its now a norm here in crypto world. If CATA is moving with this mentality then they are going in right direction and they will definalty get there moon shot.

It may be double edge sword, market is getting bearish and investors are moving out. If you delay your pre sale further then you may not get good result in days to come. Its very secret project as we only have info about its whitepaper nothing else is shared so far.

I think market has taken its profit and now for may be a year or two we have bears taking on. Majority of coins have taken advantage of this bull run and have seen ATH or top value. I just wanna say that stay vigilant and DYOR before you made any investment.

When investing in any coin its important to consider factors like what idea they are going to build, is it something doable or not. If you dig deep in CATA then its offering everything a solid coin should have. Thats why I consider it as a safe bet, rest is your choice.

I have a question if Admin can answer that, have you considered the performance matrix while designing the storage and database engines of CATA project. If one is posting NFTs of size 5 TB on CATA, is CATA capable of handling such large data and that too efficiently.

If you go through there website then its written that "One-stop storage solution for Metaverse with flexible metadata engine". I am very much sure that without addressing the performance parameter we cant achieve desired results with such project. I am also waiting to see how fast this solution will be.

I think its not a very new idea there are other such solutions already in the market like FILE COIN that are harnessing the power of IPFS. But its a good edition in the market that we have more such platforms that will increase the competition. Lets see how far this concept goes from here.

You are mixing it up. IPFS is a different thing and CATA is totally different thing. The concept behind CATA is to build a storage system for NFTs specially that is decentralized in nature and this is something not available till date. Moreover, CATA is targeting Flow blockchain.

IPFS InterPlanetary File System is P2P system for storing files on distributed system which is very much what CATA is trying to create aka decentralized storage system. CATA solution is already in the market and you cant say this is something very new.

Its almost six months since we are seeing this thread. May I ask is there any update regarding token development or we still have to wait further more. I dont understand the motive behind delaying the token sale for so long.

CATA is mixture of NFTs, FLOW and decentralized storage. The project has lot to offer in the form of its storage feature. Flow is one of the most popular NFT based blockchain which Cata is targetting.

But the issue with CATA is that its not going beyond its white paper launch, we only saw and read its whitepaper which is very much interesting but there is no update about its development activities. Still no update when they are launching there token sale or its sold to private investors only.

From title of this thread I can say CATA is about flow blockchain that is providing decentralized cloud storage. But what does middle ware says here? Please dont say that read whitepaper to learn about it, I need a short answer here.

Don't think OP is interested in your question. Middle ware may refer to storage media that holds NFTs that are hosted on blockchain. Middleware is usually a software that provides interoperability and CATA is trying to give interoperability b/w blockchain and the storage media.

i am talking as of today.

there is no update about token sale on there website nor on there social media channels.

Really don't know whats the reason for all that fuss.

If you are not selling your tokens then why do an ICO?

Flow blockchain has gone down drastically in its value from 38 dollars in Apr-May 2021 to 5$ right now. I am very much sure NFTs popularity are coming down and they are no more as popular as they are in 2021 and this in turn is alarmingly for projects like CATA who are dead silent.

I m not much interested in this project since there is nothing coming up about this project. Neither there is any update about the project nor anything about token sale. The project idea is solid no doubt but we need to see what team is doing to make it a successful project. Also if you are willing to sell your token then wts the aim of project.

I completely agree. I only just read about this, but it seems like a perfect solution for a problem that not a lot of members of the public reading about crypto realise we have.

I'm still reading up, but I'm curious about your remark. Is CATA not in action yet? In a quick glance it seems like there is a long history of activity.

The idea is innovative but the irony with this project is that we are hearing nothing about development news bout this project.

There only social media account is on twitter and there you can find only few retweets nothing about when can see at least there MVP.

If you are interested in getting more info about the project then you can message them on there email and get the required info. I tried there email option and it worked very well. I was interested in becoming there community partner to get some coins before the launch.

Why would we message them privately? If we have to send them a private note then why is this Ann thread created. Lets just close this and make a note that anyone interested can just email us for details. I try to get some info from there twitter page but all I find is retweets of NFTs nothing about CATA.

I don't think NFTs are in a mood of slowing down in 2022, even if they slow down then need for decentralized storage will always be there and CATA is doing the right thing by addressing decentralized storage and targeting flow blockchain for NFTs. I am just waiting to see how actual product looks like in coming days.

NFTs are no more popular as in 2022 metaverse is the new big thing. More and more investment is going towards Metaverse. But I do agree that CATA solution of providing decentralizaed storage is a thing that will always remain in demand whether or not NFTs are popular or not.

That may or not be true since 2022 is in its very early stage and so far NFTs are doing good, So I think CATA still has good road ahead in 2022 provided they meet there targets in 2022. If they can meet there targets in 2022 then CATA can reach new heights.

There is lots of moment in crypto market regarding NFTs and Metaverse. I am sure CATA has some space to adjust metaverse also which is boiling issue these days. If CATA can some how integrate both Meta verse and NFTs then it will have is moon shot very soon.

" We provide a one-stop storage solution for @flow_blockchain  #NFT. Compatible with SQL queries, #CATA extends the #IPFS protocol to provide #decentralizedstorage while achieving flexible #metadata management, offering user&developer-friendly data access. Source (https://twitter.com/cata_blockchain/status/1509152994969161728?cxt=HHwWgMDUjeapy_EpAAAA) "

This is something huge, there are many like me waiting for this solution to roll out.

Haven't heard anything about this project on there website nor on there twitter page neither here there is absolutely silence all around. Seems like CATA team is not much interested in telling about the project or the project is abandoned.

Correct me if I am wrong same concept is seen in Filecoin that is launched in 2017. Now 5 years later we have another such project that is providing a decentralized storage not only for CATA but for general storage also. IF they can deliver what they are saying (though we hear nothing from them) then it can be a big success

Na you are comparing two different things. Filecoin was launched in an era when everyone was crazy for ICO and there is no concept of NFTs at that time. CATA is providing decentralized storage for NFTs along with general storage. Thats the prime difference b/w filecoin and CATA.

I guess filecoin was launched with different use case while utility of CATA is altogether different. CATA has identified shortcomings in blockchain and has proposed a decentralized storage for NFTs. Dont forget they are targeting two things NFTs and flow blockchain. Many like me are just waiting for the roll out of the project.

The storage solution offered by CATA is compatible with SQL and thats something good enough to make it a big success.

" We provide a one-stop storage solution for @flow_blockchain #NFT. Compatible with SQL queries, #CATA extends the #IPFS protocol to provide #decentralizedstorage while achieving flexible #metadata management, offering user&developer-friendly data access." Source (https://twitter.com/cata_blockchain/status/1509152994969161728)

Even if NFT goes down for some reason even then CATA has generalized storage solution that can be used by other blockchain projects. So there is a minimum risk involved in investing in CATA. Right now there pre sale is not opened but dont miss the opportunity.

That's the right approach, honestly the way NFT market is going IMO its very much saturated and wont be that much success in year 2022. Its better to have some backup utility apart from just providing storage space for NFT. CATA is also having a general storage that is compatible with SQL queries.

NFTs are far from being over there are lots of still coming and the volume is increasing. so CATA is launched at the right moment and I think the team is waiting for the right moment to launch the product when they think they have there moment.

I have zero doubt about popularity of NFTs but the only concern is that there are already too many NFTs in the market and the competition is too tough for new comers. CATA has to come up with strong implementation of its project to have a success else it will just another shot coin.

On there website its written that project started as decentralized storage solution for FLOW blockchain. That clearly means they are targeting NFTs as well as decentralized storage. Right now I am waiting to see how they will look like once they are launhced. Lets see the implementation. 

I was going through your whitepaper and found that you have two core components of your project aka decentralized storage and decentralized database. Can you explain whats the difference between both of them as I think both are closely associated with eachother.

Decentralized storage is the core component of CATA which means that storage can be done on different locations not at central one. While the database is the one that can be used to refer or query the decentralized storage.

My question which I have already asked so many times but still not answered is that is MASS the first one to offer decentralized storage or we have some other projects like filecoin that are offering similar services? As far as i know filecoin is offering similar service for quite a while now.

This project is working to build a cloud platform that is very unique, I have rarely seen a project that wants to develop the cloud storage industry in cryptocurrency. In addition, this project will also develop their NFT, it can be seen from their twitter, but the community that CATA has currently is very small, even information on CATA token data cannot be found on sites such as Coinmarketcap and Coinecko, the twitter community is quite small and does not have a telegram group. , how do you develop your project with very little community support.

CATA has done one good thing that they have chosen the right aim of there project i.e. developing a decentralized storage for NFTs. You pointed out correctly that not much info is available about this coin on CMC and there twitter page is also not very active. May be they are in pre-launch era where they are making team or gathering required data.

The idea of making a "one stop storage solution for NFT" at this point is best thing about this project. Right now NFTs are at full boom and new NFTs are launching every day. With such growing pace of NFT the demand for decentralized storage space is also coming up. I am amused to know that we don't have any decentralized storage space till now.

Dear there are many projects that came up with even more catchy ideas but failed to deliver anything. I do agree that CATA has a very good idea but they need to show what they are doing. They are very much silent most of the time.

Its not a project that can be developed in days or week, developing a decentralized storage eco-system need time and skilled team. If you are interested in this project then better stick with them and wait for sometimes. The  IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) protocol is extended to provide a decentralized storage system and you can imagine it will take some times.

No matter how big or small the project is. Development always come in small steps and it need to be informed to people that what going on at the moment. If you remain silent then people will go somewhere else.

Thats very much true but dont you think its the reponsibility of the team to tell the community that whats going on in the coin development. if you just keep yourself silent then its very difficult to attract people.

The team behind the project is very talented and I am sure the project is in its very early days. Giving useless or wrong info is better then remaining silent for a certain period of time. They have given good literature about the project and that's enough for the time being.

NFTs are coming like a hurricane and those who still undermine the power of NFTs are at mistake. This year even more NFTs are coming then last year. CATA is moving in right direction by targeting an area that will have increased demand in coming days.

The existing main decentralized storage solutions like filecoin only provide storage module. AFAIK, CATA is not limited to a specific storage module (e.g.file system or database). The idea is to develop a big decentralized data system that provide flexible, scalable and practical data management services for upper layer.

The idea is good but when we are going to see its practical implementation? Till date we are just hearing that such and such features will be shown but the team is yet to show us anything.

Apart from decentralized storage system, CATA also has huge support for NFTs and support flow blockchain. flow is very much popular these days because of its NFTs support.

I've rarely seen a cryptocurrency project looking to grow in this cloud industry, but I found it again after over a year of not seeing it. But I see they are now doing the concept of collaboration with NFT which makes the Cloud look more mechanical, But if you combine this concept, especially with NFT with a concept that is still not perfect in the security section, will you solve this solution too?

They are trying to give a decentralized solutions that is not general at all means it will also provide a storage medium for NFTs also. With evolution of NFTs its now realized that there are not any ideal decentralized storage which can store NFTs. I think its high time to roll out this solution as demand for this is growing.

since the demand of decentralized storage will increase with time as NFTs will be released with time. Those who are early in the market will definitely get more share then those who join this domain at later part.

CATA has also introduced the concept of decentralized database which is different then traditional databases used till date. CATA has introduced the concept of HDFS and Hadoop in designing its distributed system. The solution proposed in there paper is not implemented till date and it will be the first project to implement such thing.

this is really big but not sure whether they have such team to build such a huge project. We have seen similar type of claims in the past but very few come up with implementation.

The real issue is that NFTs are using blockchain for building the marketplace while metadata relies on central storage solutions and linkage of both these things are creating poor user experience of NFTs. There is a need to design a protocol that solves this problem of bad user experience.

I dont think there is any such problem. NFTs are doing very much good and we are not having any user experience problem. Still we can wait and see for the MVP and get our conclusion from that.

This is very much correct upto some extent. NFTs evolved without any prior planning and we are now at a position where we have a bottle neck for NFTs and this bottle neck need to be solved immediately. CATA has started its journey in right direction and that too at right moment. 

CATA is successful only if the solution is acceptable for the community and they really think that we have some problem like that and CATA can really solve this issue. Jut wait for few weeks and we see who will join CATA.

Through CATA underlying file system users can obtain persistent and secure storage to preserve the raw data of NFT. Also intermediate CATA-data base layer will allow flexible storage and retrieval of structured data like meta data of NFT. Something not available before.

CATA team need to explain this stuff using simple language through this forum or using YouTube. Since most of us are not familiar with such underlying technology. CATA team need to wake up else it will be too late to explain this. If you are not active at a point where your coin are not listed then it will be difficult to get a moon shot.

Its a platform developed for Metaverse data storage and they are saying that CATA provides a complete one-stop solution for Dapp data storage. Extending the IPFS protocol to create a storage that will be completely decentralized and at the same time giving flexible metadata management, also the SQL queries will be managed much better.

There are many NFTs coming and many are in the pipeline. We may not seeing the problem of storage since the projects are in there initial phases and with time when they will grow, there will be a dire need of decentralized storage and thats where CATA will fit in. Just wait for the right time.

One of the core component of CATA project is Minerva,  which is a data query engine made by combining three co-operating components: Qri- the data management tool, Drill- the distributed query engine, and IPFS- the storage backend. Minerva is the one that will take the CATA to next level.

This is not the only key feature of CATA there are many more like that available in CATA which are unique to CATA only. CATA not only provides decentralized storage but also expedites the process of data retrieval from this decentralized storage. just waiting to see implementation.

Its a complex relationship b/w file system, database system and Big data systems. One need to understand that if he wanna get complete info about CATA. CATA project is solving the problem of data center storage through its multi core engines.

Honestly I don't think this is something new. That's why the team is also shy in rolling out details of the project. There are scores of such projects already floating in the market. You can see and explore filecoin for instance.

It lot depend on how NFT market will behave in coming days. Right now they are going up o anything related to NFTs are big uccess and so will be CATA. Projects like CATA should focus on other areas also so that in case NFTs collapses they have other market to look after.

Don't worry about NFTs they are up in at-least 2 to 3 coming years and may be more after. There is huge demand for decentralized storage for NFTs and there are not many projects that are giving such solutions. CATA is the first one who took responsibility of decentralized storage for NFTs.

I dont understand the point of launching such project whose sole goal is to provide a decentralized storage system. I mean there are already too many decentralized storage option available and anyone can easily be integrated with NFTs. Why this all fuss dude?

You have not got the point then, with advent of tech like big data, cloud, IoT there is so much data to be stored and processed efficiently. DATA has become one of the most important asset of 21st century and you have to admit that decentralized storage is still an area that need attention.

Its not about flow nor about NFTs, CATA in nutshell is a combination of interaction protocols for Flow's Cadence contract layer, enabling integration and full traceability of token transactions and data storage, the aim is to give one window channel for NFT publishing, storage, management and distribution.

AFAIK, flow is one of the most popular blockchain for NFTs and that means CATA main target is to capture NFT market. NFT right now is booming and its a good move to capture NFT market. There are many projects already in this sector, CATA needs to work hard.

I am no sure whether CATA is providing NFTs only or they only provide storage capability for NFTs. This needs to be clear, right now there aren't many updates coming about CATA. The team need to work hard to win confidence of investors.

Well you missing the core aspect of decentralized app, they need decentralized storage where there is no scalability issue and also provide flexibility. This all is still missing in blockchain and I dont know why nobody is taking this thing seriously.

Is storage the bottleneck in launching new decentralized NFTs? I dont think so, there are many projects that are already offering decentralized storage and CATA is just another one. You need to get core idea before correcting others.

I suggest you to first read the CATA whitepaper before we keep discussing this project. CATA is not just offering decentralized storage, it has so much other stuff to offer. You better read the paper and come up with some logical answer.

You can find more about CATA on the documentation section provided on there website along with whitepaper. That's the only reading material available till now and i think its sufficient to understand the concept that is provided by CATA. The concept is innovative yet not many focused on it.

is there any update on token enlistment? where can we find this token? Only if the coin can hit a strong exchange like Binance only then it can take some advantage. Lets see whether CATA administration can take it to some renewed exchange.

The whole crypto market is hijacked by these centralized exchanges. A coin is literary zero if its not on any exchange and there are many solid coins that are gone to zero just because they cant afford exchange fees.

CATA has no issue of funds thats why they are not asking for any financial help in the form of crowd funding. They are in development phase and once its rolled out it will easily make it top exchange. Its a project backed by Chinese team which are known for giving quality projects over the time in blockchain.

There are only two ways to learn about this platform through this thread or through there site. On Google no one is discussing this project. If its that much good then everyone must be discussing about it. But its not the case.

The Relational databaes like Mysql, MS Sql are not the only ne available these days there are many more variants available at the moment. But the blockchain storage and its query engine has not evolved that much its still very much outdated and there is need to update that  which no project has done till date.

Yes from 2015 onward Dremel/MPP  has taken over like Impala, Presto, Drill. I hardly see any blockchain project that is using these technologies. There is need to use these technologies to expedite the process SQL query. Right now storage is the biggest issue in blockchain projects.

Can OP or any other person share whats meant by there Middleware? Is this something related to interoperability or its just a term for there decentralized storage. Right now IMO there is scarcity of reliable projects in this field and if CATA can come up with some good solution then they can have good chance of success.

Challenges in NFT Storage
The dilemma between Usability and Cost
On-chain storage is flexible in business logic, but with limitations of available space
Decentralized storage scheme(e.g. IPFS) can hold massive data, but with weak interactivity
Source (https://cata-1.gitbook.io/cata-docs/introduction/core-concepts)

I just came across these limitations of NFT storage and that's genuine case. IPFS only implementation till date is File coin and there are so many complain about that project. Lets just wait and see how CATA come up with solution.

So CATA will solve issue to limited space as well as scalability. Its not very simple now since to extract data from storage these days need some good design on your Databases end. Storage is not the issue these days but extracting that data in quick duration is the key factor.

Yes that true. Its common assumption that adding more HDDs solve the problem of storage but in current environment storage is not the only solution. We need storage that can be accessed quickly and results can be seen in short span of time.

"The main way for people to enter the cryptocurrency space will be via NFTs... on @flow_blockchain"  Twittersource (https://twitter.com/flowverse_/status/1531101637053661184?s=20&t=3bLH6i0KYldpiyJULMGsTA)

That's a very well sad thing. NFTs are increasing day by day and those who are focusing on NFTs are deemed to get success.

That's very much true and CATA is targeting flow blockchain that's is purely for NFTs in coming days. NFTs will be increasing day by day and we will see shortcomings of NFT on blockchain in year or two its good to have there solutions in advance.

There are not many projects focusing on storage issue of NFTs and the way NFTs are launched we will see this shortcoming increasing day by day. CATA is first one to enter this area and it will help them to grab major share of NFTs storage issue.

If you look around its not that there are not many storage solutions available he real dilemma is there are not many decentralized storage available and thats where CATA can take the lead. If they can come up with real solution nothing can stop them from going to moon.

So real dilemma is that we don't have any decentralized storage solution for NFTs and CATA is the solution? Believe me NFT is just a buzz word that is going to explode any time soon. CATA need to have something strong in order to get success.

Thats very much true. There are many factors these days involved in making a project successful or fail like token utility, who is backing the project etc. If CATA need to make it to mainstream then it need to focus on showing utility of its token that will further attract investors there. just good concept is not everything you need these days.

You clearly all not getting what CATA is providing. Yes there is issue to decentralized storage and there is no project that can handle that issue. CATA is not just targeting NFTs but also general decentralized storage elements. So if NFTs not get further boom even then CATA ha bright future.

CATA as compared to its competitors like BigchainDB is going on Public blockchain and will be using POC and PoA consensus algorithm. But the most interesting thing which make CATA stand out among all its competitors is the fact that it has the 'Capability of unstructured data processing'.

BigchainDB and CATA both have similarities like both have 'Capability of structured data processing', Cassandra is also competitor but its way behind both CATA and BigchainDB. CATA is still to be launched while other wo are in production.   

IMO CATA is claiming too much features which are very hard to digest before its launch. Thats why they are not selling token since they know at this moment no one will invest in there tokens. Its a smart move as they have to invest from there own pocket.

The way these guys are moving I am sure no one will invest even after the project is launched. No updated info about the project and there is nothing on there social media accounts. Thats not the way how things move in crypto.

You can see difference between CATA and its competitors here https://cata-1.gitbook.io/cata-docs/introduction/what-is-cata . The concept of decentralized storage is still emerging along with NFTs and will take some time to get mature. NFT platforms like opensea need some storage space a decentralized one where projects can be kept.

What NFTs we can see on CATA. All I can see are four pictures on CATA official website. If you are supporting NFTs then at least there is something on your website about NFTs. Lets see when they launch something related to that on there website.

The project is still in development phase thats we didnt saw much about anything on there website. Accordng to my research, its a project backed by Chinese team and there are bright chances that this will go up in its early days of launch.

"We are excited to announce our newest partner @supernftwars

#SNW in the Shell - First Social and Combat #Metaverse For All #NFT Collections🔥#CATA is providing technical support for data storage and management on SNW #onFlow!

Check out https://snw.fn.pub for more 🤯🤯"

Superhero NFT Wars (SNW) is a community driven project that targets NFT and DeFi infrastructure, its a wise move by CATA to partner with them.

So finally there is some news regarding CATA, there is something going on in CATA project and its going on with full swing. SNW is the First Social and Combat Metaverse For All Live NFT Collections and there are lots of NFTs there. CATA will get a chance to mature its product through thi partnership.

The key to success of CATA lies in its partnership with flow blockchain which in turn is popular for NFTs. Apart from NFTs there are many other features that are supported by flow blockchain. CATA has made this wise move to get success.

There are many projects that claim such big things but implementation is no where to be seen. Also there is no info about where this project is from and no info about the team. A strong team with strong background in blockchain is required to complete such projects.

Trust me sooner or later this NFT bubble will brust and investment will be under rubble. The only positive aspect of CATA is that its providing decentralized storage. There is growing demand for decentralized storage in blockchain world.

There are different opinions about how crypto market will behave in coming year or two. Some says that NFTs may even beat bitcoin in long run and if that happens then projects like CATA will be found on MARS not even on MOON. It largely depends on how market behave in coming days. Just wait and see.

You must be kidding. Nothing can beat bitcoin and is something like that happens then that would be last day of cryptocurrency. Meanwhile the market is taking a bear turn and you are advised to invest in your own interests.

How does news of Musk not buying twitter will impact the NFT and associated market? I heared there is some connection in between, Now the deal has been reversed and I am interested in knowing is there any connection in between.

Nothing to worry about. These two are totally irrelevant to each other, NFTs are coming like a hurricane and there is no way such deals can impact them. CATA aim of targeting NFT is also a god strategy since NFTs are no more just a buzz word these days. DYOR but I think its very safe project for investment.

CATA is about decentralized storage not about NFTs, at least go through the whitepaper before you start telling people whether to invest or not.

Well I have complete knowledge about the project. You better read project details before start criticizing others. Its certainly about decentralized storage but also provide decentralized storage for NFTs which are badly looking for something that can solve this issue. Hope you got thepont.

Well its a Decentralized Data Infrastructure for Flow, While Flow is a new blockchain built for the next generation of apps, games, and the digital assets that power them. There is huge demand for such things but I am not sure whether they are heading in right direction.

As long as there is no team info and no info about whether the company is registered somewhere or not i don't think they will attract much business. To gather more business there is a need to get in contact with people which sadly this team is not doing.

You can contact them at  info@cata.network, I send them an email regarding how to get coins early on. To my surprise they replied, though reply was not what I wanted but still this shows that project is alive.

Finally someone has info on how to get CATA tokens, can you share details of how they are distributing tokens. To my knowledge there is nothing on there website or social media about how to buy or get CATA tokens, This is one of the strangest thing about CATA project.

There is lots of activities going on in crypto market but the price of bitcoin is going down and thats alarming for new and already existing projects in the market. Be careful about whatever decision you made in investment.

Cata plan is good that is everything related to NFT can be found here on one platform. NFTs are evolving and sooner or later they will hit by chaos of storage problem and thats where CATA will fit in. CATA is for future not for present.

The storage issue is not limited to NFTs only but for entire blockchain world there is no decentralized storage medium. If cata can deliver a quality decentralized solution then this will be a big hit.

Its not about CATA, all projects offer good things. They fail in delivering the product.
Any project that can deliver what they promised is always a big hit.

Its really a bold decision to launch the project in this bear market. Conditions are not that much favorable for new projects but still if they can make a successful journey then it requires special skills.

There is need for decentralized storage for a long time but there are not much such projects that can be trusted these days.

i am waiting for token launch but still nothing about token sale.

Those who are looking for token sale can contact them via email. They are not in mood to generate revenue via token sale. IMO they already have funds for the project but still they should float some of there tokens in the market to increase the community. Lets see whether they launch it or not.

There is no doubt that Metaverse is most popular term these days even Facebook is after this term. We have to wait and see how thing wrap around this new concept. Its common that everyone run around new thing.

Haven't seen much projects that are as silent as this project is getting. No announcement and nothing info about the project on the internet. They are making a big mistake which they will pay in days to come.

There are many aspects of decentralized storage that need to be addressed at the moment. NFTs are coming in but there is nothing like decentralized storage which can accommodate such massive things. I dont consider FileCoin a decentralized as its very much controlled by few entities. 

The whole market is taking a break, though BTC has gone up a bit but still such small bull run wont effect price of bitcoin. I think CATA team may be waiting for bull run so they may sell the tokens at high price?
Who else agree with me?

I don't think if that's true is a good idea since new projects token are always sold at very cheap price. There may be some delay in project development thats why we are not seeing anything coming up at the moment. Its good to keep an eye on this project and buy when you have some extra stock.

We are heading towards bear market and chances are that it will remain bearish for long time. Since market always take correction after massive bull run. Its good time to buy bitcoin and if you have spare cash then so invest in projects like CATA.

Yes its good time to buy bitcoin and other altcoins since prices are very ideal.

DCAing bitcoin at this moment is also good.

Grab Altcoina with care you may grab shitcoins.

Those who are think of buying tokens like CATA at this moment may take the risk involved in there mind. There is high chance that the project may not be as successful because of too many decentralized storage projects already in the market.

The world of crypto/blockchain need a new decentralized storage or already available options are good enough is not a big concern these days. The real thing which most people are looking at the moment are what solution they are providing w.r.t flow blockchain. Let me know if admin can answer that.

This thread is mostly silent, most replies are from community members. You better go and ask them via email or follow there twitter page, maybe you can find something there.

There is a sample of Elon Musk NFT on CATA website. I just wonder is this an authorized NFT or just a randomly created NFT by the team of CATA. This is some serious violation of copyright and must be answered by the team of CATA before authorities take some legal action against them.

Well there is very demand of IPFS and nothing solid is available in the market at the moment. I think its good time to invest in coin like CATA. Rather then waiting for the actual launch of the project.

CATA is designing something for FLOW project, which is a popular NFT marketplace known for its low transaction fees and a better user experience. But haven't seen anything from FLOW where they endorsing CATA that they both have some sort of partnerships.

You are not getting the point. CATA is not re developing the original FLOW blockchain rather "CATA has designed a set of interaction protocols for Flow's Cadence contract layer, enabling integration and full traceability of token transactions and data storage, providing a one-stop solution for NFT publishing, storage, management and distribution. It is fully compatible with Cadence's resource-oriented capabilities, allowing Cadence developers to easily connect NFT contracts to storage facilities". Source (https://cata-1.gitbook.io/cata-docs/)

Every new advancement is not easily accepted in the start rather too much opposition has been seen in the start. CATA team must remain ready for such oppositions also. In fact that should be part of there strategy.

There first milestone should be releasing that part of the code, since it seems like this is the core part of there project. Once we see this then it will be very clear that how this project is progressing.

They dont have much presence on social media but good to see that they have github available on there website and that too at very start of the project. Anyone interested can check this out.

That may be  good thing but there long absense from social media at this part of project is alarmingly.
they need to pay attention to there social media teams and must mobilize them asap.

There is a guide available where you can learn what CATA is https://cata-1.gitbook.io/cata-docs/introduction/what-is-cata . You have to give credit to the team for creating such a nice and comprehensive guide. There aren't many projects that have such guides.

The team created the guide and then forget to develop the rest of the project, its really that simple. Because thats the only thing found on there website nothing like info about project development or anyother useful info.

CATA's Metadata Engine, Minerva, is released now! thats why its sai to read the document section carefully to avoid such confusions.
Minerva is the core component of CATA project. https://cata-1.gitbook.io/cata-docs/

There is too much competition going on in metaverse and NFTS. They are hot selling products these days and Bitcoin is also taking a fly from here. So the market will see an upward trend in comings days. CATA has teken a right move by addressing the storage issue of NFTs. There is lot of market for this concept.

But the NFT market is too much saturated. There are lots of projects already selling NFTs and associated products so the idea of joining the NFT or metaverse market with intention that its booming and there is lots of business in it might bounce back.

There is deficiency of IPFS based project in blockchain not just in NFTs.
If CATA is successful in delivery a fully decentralized ( which I really doubt) then surely they can grab a big market.

I read that there is Chinese team behind this project that have close ties with flow project. Thats the main reason why they haven't yet sold there tokens. Once they officially announced there partnership with flow all tokens will be sold in blink of an eye. There is huge investor already looking for the investment opportunity here.

China is again under lock down due to corona. So it will be very difficult for this team to deliver this project on time. May be that's the reason why we are not seeing much update about this project.

LMFOA
The project is dead even before it was launched. You need to be careful while investing anything that looks suspicious.
This forum is great place to learn more about projects details.

So you make your mind by just reading here replies. Your choice but thats a very bad strategy I tell you. There is lots of demand for IPFS based storage system and not much work is done so far. CATA has targeted right area.

Choosing right area doesnt gurantee success.
You need to give details about your team, token, project development, social media activity and bla bla.
How much info you have about CATA???

Flow cadence contact layer protocols can interact with CATA, this will take integration to new levels and allow full tracebility of token transactions along with data storage. This is what it is about one stop solution for NFT.

Flow is a fantastic platform for joint collaboration. Flow is not just about NFTs but there are tons of things launched on this blockchain by developers.

is there any tentative date for the launch of this project?

I checked there site but there is no info related to the launch.

check OP message. they have provided there email address there. You can contact them and ask for the info if you are really interested in the project.

"Our plan is to build a #decentralized #BigData System, to provide more flexible, scalable, and practical data management services for the upper layer of #dApps."

Who says they are silent on twitter. Check this out there latest tweet.

They need to be a more vibrant on twitter like this. So we can get to know that project is still alive. If they remain silent on social media then how can we know more about the project.

I dont remember name of that platform but they are also offering same services like that. It was very much welcomed in the start but the project fail to deliver the required product. CATA need to deliver what they are saying.

In crypto there are lots of project that later proved to be scammed but during coin sale they were able to sale lots of coins. DYOR before you make any decision of investing in any coin.

This project started to provide a decentralized storage solution for popular flow blockchain. There design adopted by CATA decouples storage and retrieval functionality.

For NFTs the real challenges realted to data are it Storage, Retrieval and Security. There is no copyright protection mechanism on the interent as well as the decentralized storage solutions are pure storage with no query capability. All these things need to be addressed sooner so that we dont see any issue with NFTs.

Well all these things cant be addressed at the same time. There are modern database engines that have best query mechanism but I am not sure whether they fit best in blockchain.

I checked there site, the economic section is still not updated. https://cata-1.gitbook.io/cata-docs/introduction/ecnomics

Can anyone has idea when we can see it updated???

Yes thats pending for many months now and its very strange that such important part is incomplete so far. But you just keep an eye on this thread and there site, i think they will update it very soon since the project has been launched for quite a while now.

i think the project has been aleft on its own by the team because of the idea they introduced cant be achieved. So its better to stay away from this project.

Do you have any source to prove this clam that project team has stopped working on it?
Its very big project, CATA is designing some protocols for Flow blockchain and as per my info CATA is a project backed by Chinese team who have extensive experience of working on different projects.

How much max cap of NFTs this platform can handle??? They should tell this before the project launch since most of the platforms these days give fake data about the volume traded.

Dont think there will be anything like declaring how much market cap the platform can handle. It can be millions of USD that any small project can handle easily. In crypto there is no regulations that can keep a strict eye on projects. So projects can say whatever they want.

Thats true. But those projects who wanna excel have to take care of this aspect otherwise there project wont get success. I am sure CATA is big project and will not get involved in any fake data.

Those who looking for some update CATA can read there latest article on there medium account, CATA Network Spotlight Part 3: CATA Era 1.0: For NFT! (https://medium.com/@cata_network/cata-network-spotlight-part-3-cata-era-1-0-for-nft-bad41f68ae3d). NFTs are hot topic and there is strong demand for there storage and query process and thats why the project CATA started.

But its not very much clear what CATA is trying to build? On one side they saying they giving a decentralized storage solution while on this article its written that its a one stop solution for all NFT problems.

You can take it either way. CATA has too much to offer for NFTs or you may say its NFT centric project. Decentralized storage is just one key aspect of CATA not the complete project. CATA will also develop set of interaction protocols for flow blockchain and thats why it getting so much fame.

I am the only one who looking to buy CATA tokens or there are other such guy also. The problem is there is no info related to token sale and dont know how why they are delaying it so much.

NFA: if you are really interested to invest in this Project then I advice you to visit their website and check their twitter handle. I see their twitter is active and making new posts. you'll probably get the answer of your questions and clarifications,
but as much as I checked they have not launched any Token yet. and I am not sure if they will launch any token in future or not.

there is nothing on there website nor anything on twitter despite the fact that twitter is active. If they are not going to launch token then how project will advance further? If they already have funds then why they coming to blockchain side they can easily launch it by staying out of this.

There is lots of criticism for energy consumption by different blockchains and flow is very much energy efficient. Thats the reason there is no way any country is going to ban it. Thats why CATA making partnership with flow blockchain.

Yes there is great debate going on that also. Recently Eth also shifting on PoS also just to avoid too much energy wastage to keep alive the blockchain. Its a good move by Cata to partnership with blockchains that are energy efficient to avoid any future problem.

Yes that's indeed a good news for CATA fans like me. Ether merger is round the corner and very soon we will have PoS taking over PoW. There are lots of Defi and NFTs project hosting on Eth blockchain and soon they will need a decentralized storage for which CATA will be the only solution.

I dont know what logic is this. NFTs are just a buzz word and very soon they will die and soon we will see some new concept emerging in the form of another buzz word. In crypto the only real solid investment is bitcoin.

Can I see what kind of NFTs are hosted on CATA or its just a decentralized storage platform. What you see is what you get and there is no way we can invest in project without seeing what is going on.

There isn't much info available regarding your query that whether they will host NFT on there blockchain or its just a storage platform for NFTs. I check there website and social media accounts but unfortunately they are not updated very often. May be you can contact some of there team members to get info.

There is great Boom coming in NFTs and Defi side after the merger of Ethereum and new projects must not miss this opportunity to get there fare share.

I am very much sure the team behind this project is well aware of the fact that Ethererum merger has brought some huge changes in the NFT market. Very soon they will launch there NFTs to attract NFT lover. Thats why I say its the right time to invest in CATA.

If you are talking about Ethereum merger then it hasn't bought any changes in crypto market. Rather everything is same. Its just a boom that failed miserably. If you are planning for investment then better invest on some other principle.

With Bears taking over crypto market its better to delay token sale until bulls are back in business. i think market has been bullish for quite sometimes and will stay bearish for few months or a year who knows. I think that's the major reason why CATA team has delay the project sale.

There are not many details about the project available till now despite the fact that lot of time has passed since the project launch. If they delay details like that the project will suffer loss.

What sort of info you need, i guess everything is available on there website. I find all technical details of project very well updated on the site. Just try to spend some time there.

There are lot of things going on in CATA not just one thing aka decentralized storage. Thats the primary reason why its taking so long to launch necessary things related to project. If you have trust in this project than just wait for a while.

nobody has time to wait for indefinite period of time.

The project is suspicious as its taking too long to give out necessary details of the project.

Its never too late. If you dont have time then surely you can look around and invest in some other project but dont say that anything that is taking time is not worthy.

Recently there is news that hedge funds are also investing in NFTs and that will boost the NFT market in coming days. I firmly believe that CATA has chosen the right area to target. The NFT market will only boost in coming years since there is no plan of return for such emerging technology.

Crypto Hedge funds are there for long period of time now and they invest in every new coming technology. There is no way we can predict that NFT wont go down in coming days. I guess they are going down just like ICOs and IPOs are gone. DYOR.

There is no point in discussing whether CATA has chosen right path or not since they are not disclosing anything about the project so far. As long as they kept everything secret we cant say whether they will be successful or not.

I searched about there whitepaper and technical stuff but couldn't find what consensus algorithm they are using, can someone please tell what exactly they are using?

Its a different project, its not like something you can mine.
CATA project is about providing a decentralized storage to NFTs and other projects.

I see. Do they have any previous project or this is there first one? To launch a new project requires some previous experience. If they are very new to this area then they will find it hard to get it done.

Crypto market is changing and updating itself with such a quick pace that you need to keep yourself updated about what going on in the market. Year or two back no one was predicting that we see something like NFT gaining heights so quickly. Lets see how things shape up from this side.

The market really need something that can provide storage solution dilemma and we dont have much projects that are targeting this side.

In crypto market there are lot of projects that claim that they can do big things but in reality they never show up after fund raising. CATA is different in a sense that it has lot of good stuff at his disposal and chances are that they will deliver what they say about there solution.

Lots and lots of things going on in the market and we need to come up with some solutions that can cure problems in this new environment. CATA has rightly highlighted problems in correct domain and we wait till the time CATA roll out the solution for this problem.

Storage is the biggest concern in NFT domain and there are lots of issue in this area. Surprisingly no one is willing to address problems in this area and since CATA has taken the responsbility. That will help cata to grab major share of this emerging market.

Lets wait and see how things shape up in future. Its too early to predict that CATA will get most of share. We are not clear that whether this idea will be welcomed by invstors or not. Chances are bright but dont predict the future.

Many predicted that Ethereum switching from PoW to PoS will give this a big hit but nothing such happened. Similarly we cant say how industry will respond to this new solution of storage dilemma.

There is too much noise about NFTs last year but havent heard about NFTs with same spirit this year. Just like ICO, NFTs are also going down or its just me think this way ? ? ?

In my view its just you who thinks this way. NFTs pace is not slowing down, you may say there are people who are getting more and more interested in NFTs and due to this reason the storage dilemma of decentralized nature is taking attention of people.

Can you come up with some stats for your arguments that NFTs are going up and up only. You need to have solid stats to prove the fact that this is going up. I can share some facts that why I think this way.

I think its a useless discussion that how much business NFTs are getting this year. There is too much hype in NFTs and the business must be in billions since crypto cap itself is in trillions of USD.

The layered approach proposed by CATA is a good initiative to address the storage problem in blockchain. This project will be a good choice for people since it will attract projects even that are not related to NFTs.

CATA has rolled out many of its layers in the market now and the project will be rolled out soon in the market. Its high time to invest in this project and book early profit.

FED has announced a 75 point hike in interest rate and that takes interest rate to its highest in 14 years. At the moment there isnt any impact of this hike on crypto market but chances are that it will  go high in coming week or months. Its good time to accumulate cheap coins for selling later in bull market.

I dont think there is any impact of FED on new alts like CATA they have to first gain investors confidence that they are worthy to be invested. There position will be cleared only once they are launched in the market.

Yes thats correct. You need to first come into market to prove that you are there to stay. CATA is still not in the market and its position can only be cleared once its in the market. We cant say how an alt can behave before its launched.

Your point is valid but you have to take risk to book your profit. Same was said for BTC and ETH in there initial stages and when there price goes high everyone rush to buy them. Some time you have to take risk to catch the train. Express train doesnt wait for the passenger

There is too much saturation in crypto world and thats the prime reason why we are not seeing any new concept at the moment. NFTs were really hot till 2021 I would say 2022 is not for NFTs and 2023 wont be different either.

I dont think 2022 was a dry year for NFTs. NFTs are at there peak this year also and what makes CATA idea for being a hit project is that they are targeting storage for NFTs as well as general storage. Things will get more clear as see launch of this project till then just keep an eye on that.

If you see twitter page of CATA then its very much clear that they are focusing on FLOW blockchain thats because they have partnered with FLOW to provide storage solution for NFTs. FLOW is biggest player in NFT domain.

FLOW is no doubt one of the biggest player in the field of NFTs and with time its growing. I guess CATA has made a right decision at very right time and this will defiantly benefit them in long run.

There are not many ideal decentralized storage system available till date for blockchain. I don't know why anybody noticed that and proposed solution for this problem. Anyways since CATA has taken responsibility of that we will see lot others joining in in coming days.

Since no one take notice of this while CATA took that serious and now they will capture the share. I only mistake they are making is that they are not giving away details of this project and this will hurt them.

Its good to wait for sometimes as market is bear and tokens are going down. Let the market regain its lost momentum then it will be good to launch the project. Not many will invest in current situation.

Still you need to share details of your project since that will allow investors to keep an eye on your project and invest when there is bull run. When bull run start everyone will run to invest in projects that are already in there list. CATA should tell wts going on in there mind and take investors into confidence.

If you are talking about decentralied projects then there are few good one available in the market like IPFS and filecoin. Yet that doesnt mean that there is no roam for new projects. CATA can see what these projects are not offering and can launch there projects after studying them. There is so much content about IPFS and filecoin already available in the market. May be this is a good hint for team CATA.

Right now there are so many decentralized apps that are listed on flow blockchain and CATA team must take this point into consideration that if they are using flow blockchain then there project will also be listed on flow website. Otherwise it will be just another project.

delete

It will be a challenging thing since not all projects are easily listed on flow website but the top one. In CATA there are protocols for interaction with Flow's Cadence
contract layer, through which developers can integrate and fully trace token transactions and data storage. Thats why CATA is a one-stop solution for NFT publishing, storage, management and distribution. Because of its fully compliance with Cadence's resource-oriented capabilities that allow Cadence developers to easily connect NFT contracts to storage facilities.

The decentralized storage system like IPFS can no doubt hold massive data, but there shortcoming is that there is weak interactivity in such system implementations. If CATA can address such issues then that can be a big plus for them.

If you look at flow community then it has grown over the years to the extent that there are many reliable projects that are harnessing the power of flow blockchain. For instance, Dapper wallet now support flow coin and there are hundreds of such decentralized apps that are built on top of flow blockchain. In future if they have support for flow coins then it will be beneficial for other apps also.

Dapper and FLOW cryptocurrency have same blockchain of origin. So this was very much expected to happen, in my view its a bit late to happen. But I do agree that flow has lot much to offer, so should be the apps over it.

Solana Soars, Flow Falls as NFT Market Declines Further in November. Trading in November is about 88% lower than January as overall volume and total NFTs sold both slump even further.  (https://decrypt.co/116246/solana-soars-flow-falls-nft-sales-decline-november) This is not something alone for NFT as whole crypto market is taking a break. IMO its a good time to gather your favorite stuff on discounted rates.

We now live in era of big data and we need systems that can process and query massive amount of data. I read in there whitepaper that CATA is introducing a server less architecture and for database its like change in product form and usage pattern, but the function of the database itself has not changed. It will definalty bring some innovation in handling big data systems.

If moderator or anyone from the team CATA is reading this then we can you please update us about when you launching the project and when token sale will take place. I think its best time to grab the coins as market is bearish.

Is there any bounty program available for this campaign or not? If you are interested in promoting your project on bitcointalk then its very much necessary to launch the bounty program. Market is bear so its good time for new project to give details of there project and there is no better way then to do bounty campaign.

The year 2022 was good for NFTs in many ways, 7 Important NFT Trends (2022) (https://explodingtopics.com/blog/nft-trends). Overall the market was not bullish thats why not much activity was seen in almost all sectors. But that doesnt mean we must start ignoring NFTs, they have a future in years to come.

Well on what basis you are saying NFTs have future ahead? Just because you have bought some NFTs doesnt mean they have great future. Please come up with some strong evidence if you really think CATA has strong future.

One of the most interesting and demanded tasks that decentralized storage developers have to solve is the storage and execution of dynamic website pages. If we take into account the specifics of the NFT, then dynamic metadata is their formation and validation on the backend.

For example, the LOOT NFT (https://nftmetria.com/nft-collections/loot-for-adventurers/) collection (which was noticed even by Vitalik Buterin), develops methods for dynamically generating metadata outside the Ethereum blockchain. Because calculations and execution of dynamic pages and functions on the Ethereum smart contract is quite expensive. If this project manages to solve such problems, then it will definitely have a great future. it will be a fundamentally new technology that will significantly advance the world to WEB3.0
