NFT storage does not involve placing full files directly on the blockchain. Instead, smart contracts record ownership, while metadata and media files are stored either on-chain or in off-chain systems.

The security of NFT storage depends on a combination of data structure design, storage location, and access methods, such as cold storage or hot wallets.
