  • CIPs

    • When using this proposal (https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/blob/master/CIP-0025/README.md) it's not explicit about what type of URIs should be supported in the AssetToken's image property. And, I don't think it should be explicit - any valid URI should be supported. However, most, if not all, NFT explorers (e.g. pool.pm, cardano-tools.io, adatools.io) expect the image value to be IPFS. And, even if it's a valid URI - but not an IPFS one - they all just fail to show the image.
