Capture Assets

What is Nid?

Numbers ID (Nid) is the unique id assigned to all registered Captures. Nid serves to index Captures acting as a bridge to the file itself on web3 storage and its on-chain provenance records.

How is the Nid generated?

Nid complies with IPFS Kubo CIDv1, a prevalent content address format employed for identifying files and objects within the IPFS network. CID can be challenging due to the numerous formats, which can cause confusion. As a result, we have selected the most common CID for use in our system. To provide clarity for users, we refer to it as Nid, as CID can be ambiguous.
