<p>I am relatively new to the IPFS and NFT world. I am interested in finding the best IPFS provider for storing NFT files that are later used for minting a Cardano NFT. Currently, I am using Nft.Storage, which seems to be the complete leader in the IPFS and NFT world, but I have a problem that Nft.Storage exclusively works with CidV1 while Cardano has a metadata limitation that restricts me to CidV0.</p>
<p>Also, when I convert CidV1 to CidV0, I am unable to find the uploaded file in the IPFS explorer. I don't know if I need to map something somewhere, not sure how gateway resolve file if cidv1 is converted to cidv0?</p>
<p>So what is the best IPFS provider for Cardano that support CidV0, or do you know how IPFS gateway can resolved converted CidV0?</p>

So what is the best IPFS provider for Cardano that support CidV0, or do you know how IPFS gateway can resolved converted CidV0?

[Blockfrost.io](https://blockfrost.io/) is probably the most popular within the Cardano ecosystem right now. (*I'm from the BF team*).

If you mint using [NMKR](https://www.nmkr.io/), they are pinning your files too.

Also, [nftcdn.io](https://nftcdn.io) is launching their service very soon.
