🧵 Alright, quick story time. There isn't one person or group to fault for the Jalen Green dunk contest idea going south but it was almost instantly the most disappointing thing I've ever been a part of.

NBA Top Shot Moments will now be permanently stored on IPFS, a decentralized network, making each one a collectible that exists in perpetuity – independent of any single entity.

Every video highlight, the thumbnail, and metadata.

Built in collaboration with the NBA and Dapper Labs, this is expected to be announced this week.

Explainer follows.

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a decentralized, peer-to-peer storage network used to store, share, and access files and data without relying on central servers.

IPFS is made of multiple IPFS nodes, so no one entity can control what is shared on the network, this allows immutability (unchangeable data) and permanence - but only if the data is pinned to at least one node.

Pinning is what turns "accessible in theory" into "accessible permanently."

The more a Moment is requested, the more nodes it passes through, and the more opportunities for it to be pinned organically by others.

This can also be done deliberately through a pinning service as well, and Dapper Labs would likely use one or several of these to ensure redundancy.

Whenever a node wants to share content on IPFS, it runs the content through a cryptographic hash and returns a CID (Content Identifier).

The CID is tied to the content itself – change anything at all, and you get a completely different CID – this is what makes it tamper-proof.

Moments will have a public CID, so anyone can independently verify the media is authentic and access the original files directly – no middleman needed.

Moments will become decentralized IPFS-pinned assets to ensure they remain accessible forever, so even if Dapper Labs ceased operations, your collectibles would still exist and be retrievable, no matter what.

@EdventureTime @CardAficionado Top shot moments will live on. IPFS announcement coming this week to confirm collectible permanence in perpetuity.

An @NFLALLDAY Moment I have been waiting for.

Growing up supporting the @49ers from 8000 miles away, 30+ years ago, no internet, no cable, only $3 for a copy of USA Today 3 days late & video tapes of games a mth late, all worth it, to follow @JerryRice the legend.

[NFL ALL DAY @NFLALLDAY]

Playoff moments define legends. 🏆

Jerry Rice was otherworldly. 11 catches, 215 yards, a one-handed grab and the game-tying TD in Super Bowl XXIII. An all-time performance on the biggest stage. 🤯

Chase this /10 Ultimate Moment in Playoff Icons Packs starting Tuesday.

#1 jersey serial legendary moments of Ja’Marr Chase on @NFLALLDAY are such a catch. #1/5 Signature Edition, even more so.

Love it, think this one headlines the collection.

@EdventureTime @NBATopShot Exactly, and for this reason, I dislike these “autographs” even more than I do parallels. Because in trying to replicate cardboard digitally, this is not a true digital equivalent. It is a digital photocopy.

[runcornwaves @runcornwaves]

From cardboard, love autographs & game worn jersey cards. Loved it when @NBATopShot started it with Magic.

But clarity is needed - does a player digitally sign every moment, not just 1 per edition?

If not, how is that diff fr photocopying a signature & calling it authentic?

[NBA Top Shot @NBATopShot]

🧬 Rookie Utility & Autographs Are Coming

The Rookie Upgrade Ladder returns — trade in Rookie Debuts to climb Common → Rare → Legendary. 🔁

Plus, first-ever autographed 1-of-1 Signature Series from Cooper Flagg, VJ Edgecombe, Yang Hansen, and Kon Knueppel, including a special “My Top Fan” for each player’s #1 collector. ✍️🔥

Collectors are gearing up to climb leaderboards and earn upgrades.

The Rookie Era on Top Shot is just getting started. 🚀

[runcornwaves @runcornwaves]

@EdventureTime @NBATopShot Almost. Yes it is that, except, because the player only signs once, it basically a copy paste from the original - ie It’s like an executive assistant inserting an e-signature for the boss multiple times. Is that worth the same as a real digital autograph? 🤔

[runcornwaves @runcornwaves]

@RightOnTrackRAC @NBATopShot This is very nice, well done there

[runcornwaves @runcornwaves]

Have never been a fan of parallels, but by far the biggest pet peeve I have with them is the duplication of #1 and jersey serials for each parallel.

Yes yes cardboard also has parallels, but wasn’t the point to differentiate from the flaws of cardboard?

@Tandyman0 @jjlsmith2 ASP based on last 12 months only, with a floor at purchase price if ASP is zero due to no sales.

This leads to zero for CRs or pack pulls, but if it is zero, either it is a grail that shouldn’t be traded in anyway, or it is an unwanted moment that deserves to be zero.

[Toronto Blue Jays @BlueJays]

It was a magical ride with all of you.

Our city, our home, our fans showed up on the grand stage...and we couldn't be prouder.

[runcornwaves @runcornwaves]

@KommonCollector @NBATopShot @roham Btw, can you find said post? I do recall it - Might be me, but I can’t see that post anymore - did @roham delete it? Only see this reply now.

[runcornwaves @runcornwaves]

When mistakes of this scale happen, an organisation should not pin it on an employee. That only happens if the “employee” is also the founder and owner.

This is not on Samuel. It is a failure of senior leadership, a lack of checks & balances in the company. @NBATopShot @roham

[Samuel Dee @uel_dee]

A message from your local neighborhood @NBATopShot curator:

My first summer in this role has been an incredible ride.

I’m very proud of what we’ve been able to get in the product, but I know it’s not been without error. I put players in tiers they appeared in last season. I gave Steve Francis a second Rookie Year Moment. I own those mistakes.

Know that unintentionally breaking the historical scarcity rules has weighed heavy on me. To put even a small stain on what has otherwise been an amazing collection of Run It Back is not something I take lightly.

Like the rest of you, this product has come to mean more to me than I can express. Top Shot depends on quality curation and that’s a responsibility I take very seriously.

I hope that even in light of these mistakes that everyone has had a fun offseason collecting some of the most incredible players and Moments from NBA history.

My DMs are always open to talk hoops, Moments and yes even your critical feedback :)

❤️

[Mikesanity @Mikesanity]

@uel_dee @NBATopShot I’m sure everyone can appreciate that you are taking responsibility for the errors. Seems kind of strange that the responsibility would fall on one person to make sure the rules are followed. What about those that made and signed off on these rules? Where are they in this process
