Metadata
Table of contents
Metadata is data that provides information about other data, helping to describe, organize, and manage digital content—especially useful in blockchain and NFTs.
In Blockchain and NFTs
In the context of NFTs or digital assets, metadata often includes details like title, creator, ownership history, traits, or even links to media files. It enables smart contracts and marketplaces to understand what the asset represents without holding the actual content on-chain.
Why Metadata Is Useful
Metadata makes digital assets more searchable, traceable, and functional. Without it, assets like NFTs would lack context and usability across platforms.
