#ZeroContract Feature Highlight #6: ○ Ability to add infinite types of artwork Ever wish you could pack various types of art into a single token? Do you want to let collectors buy multiple versions, multiple aspect ratios, multiple assets all in one package? Bundle together images, audio, video, code nicely all as one piece of art? Most standards only let you add a handful of files, or just one link, and rarely work with on-chain assets. That’s limiting for creators who want to offer more. Introducing extraUri as a new way for artists to attach unlimited types and numbers of files to one token. Think of it as giving your art its own portfolio that can hold and display different files, in any format you want, and you can add as many as you like! I will try not being too technical here, but there is a lot of technical limitations we are pushing thru now with this new mechanism I think should become a future Tezos standard.

Original inspired by the Doppelgänger contract from Transient Labs and @amadon.eth, I was always impressed by the Tezos metadata standards that had a built-in way to allow for multiple files or filetypes within a single artwork. With both the formats[] and assets[] arrays, an artist has the ability to incorporate numerous formats, sizes and options for their art. However, it turns out these are inaccessible to on-chain artists and really truly function only with off-chain storage. (I will skip the packing/unpacking/transaction size discussion here, but feel free to ask me if you are interested.) Tezos also has an externalUri metadata element, but this only allows for a singular additional file to store. So what is an on-chain artist to do you might ask? Build it themselves, of course!
