Oh, so normally NFTs don't actually contain the digital artwork, just a reference to it?

I assumed that the art itself would be stored into the blockchain, which would give it some form of permanence.




The vast majority of NFT's sell art that is not on the blockchain, is hosted somewhere else. There are some pixel art-y small things that people have put on the actual blockchain but it's rare.


That only works for digital things, for obvious reasons.
