Questions that has been on my mind for a while: What happens to historical nfts when the metadata is lost (which I'm sure has happened to multiple collections)? Is there social or technical consensus around what replaces it and whether its acceptable to the market?

Yep, really tricky one! A bunch of popular early marketplaces (Ascribe, Digital Objects) stored metadata on their own servers: and when they went under, metadata was lost. But even with IPFS, a marketplace could stop paying for it and metadata disappears.

There are pinning services like ClubNFT for a backup IPFS location, but not perfect. Some projects migrating to Ordinals mentioned longevity as a factor, may become a thing. Unsure re the social consensus. Punks v1 is an interesting case study - essentially just need a large enough group to recognise provenance.
