Nope - do your research better before you use the word "lie". BAYC did it until very very recently for instance. Definitely as of 27th September they were using cloud functions as you can clearly see in my gist here: https://gist.github.com/JofArnold/bf2c4a094fcdd4aee2f52983c7714de8#gistcomment-3906906 https://gist.github.com/JofArnold/bf2c4a094fcdd4aee2f52983c7... I know there is/was plenty of others too because I looked deeply into this around the time.
- dylkil 5y agoOk but currently they are using IPFS so does it matter if they once used the cloud? Go here[1] and scroll down to tokenURI and input 1 and you will get an IPFS hash back.

- JofArnold 5y agoI'm aware which is why I said "very very recently"* (I just so happen to have checked when Tweeting this the other day so it was fresh in my mind https://twitter.com/JofArnold/status/1478071171597975554 https://twitter.com/JofArnold/status/1478071171597975554). I don't think the fact they are now using IPFS makes it any more credible either; IPFS is not a new thing and the valuations were huge already by September. They should have done it from the start. Furthermore that they can mess around with the base URL is not cool. * Although thanks for posting that as without that fact I admit my story was incomplete.
