What if you could access a file on Private IPFS through a wallet signature? 👀 

Imagine if you, the dev, set the parameters: 
user address === 0xabc123
or 
user address owns nft 1 @ contract xyz 

Send the EIP712 signature, get an access url back.

Does that sound useful? 👀

Is this authorization to access the private network? Am I running, as the recipient, an IPFS node?

Rated 💯 by multiple networks. Fluent in /unglish. Unbothered by /whatday of the week it is.

Allegedly a designer.

Right so it’s an authenticated gateway, basically.

We’re thinking through what that might look like. We already have a Private IPFS network that’s accessed on a per file / user basis so it might be another layer of logic we would implement. You could technically build this now yourself using your own IPFS node, you would just need a server to handle the auth logic. Of course, Pinata exists so you don’t have to run your own node or go through the trouble of building all of that :)
