IPFS stands for InterPlanetary File System, which is a protocol where various file types can be stored on a peer-to-peer network. All items minted on Nifty Gateway Studio (NGS) are done so with an IPFS hash where the items media data is stored. These IPFS hashes are minted onchain and are queryable within Etherscan.
To query your item's IPFS hash, head over the item's detail page and click on the contract address (as shown below).
From there, you'll be taken to a separate Etherscan window. Select 'Contract' and 'Read Contract'
Next, head back to the item's detail page on NGS and copy the item's token ID located at the end of the URL
Now, navigate back to the Etherscan window, scroll down to 'tokenIPFSHash' and paste your item's token ID. Copy the string
You can now paste your string to the end of the following URL to view your item's media file stored on IPFS: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/
To view the token's full metadata, repeat the steps above in the 'tokenURI' section of the contract on Etherscan and paste the string to the end of the following URL: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/
