irys-arweave

You can upload NFT metadata to Arweave using an EVM wallet by initializing the GOAT SDK plugin with your private key, payment token, and RPC URL, then calling the upload_file or upload_data function to store assets and return permanent links.

To fund an Irys account for permanent file storage, you need an EVM wallet private key, a payment token such as baseeth, and RPC access to your target network to programmatically fund the account and pay for storage.

Yes, you can upload and download files in bulk on the Irys network using the upload_folder function for batch asset storage and the download_data function for retrieving persistent files.

The GOAT SDK plugin handles NFT minting pipeline metadata hosting by automatically uploading assets and metadata to Arweave, funding payments, and returning Arweave links for on-chain metadata references.

Irys and Arweave remove manual hosting and pinning overhead by providing reliable permanent file storage and immutable metadata hosting, ensuring persistent assets without managing underlying infrastructure.

Using Irys for EVM-based file uploads requires specific dependencies including an EVM private key, a compatible payment token, and network RPC access, meaning it is strictly tailored for EVM-based workflows rather than standalone use.
