Photosof.com is a decentralized image hosting, image sharing, monetization & marketplace platform that allows you to upload, store, host, share & monetize decentralized images.
Think of Photosof.com as another layer on top of decentralized providers allowing you to quickly and easily use, upload, share, sell, monetize, etc.
The Photosof.com Protocol is a set of tools to help you easily upload, display and share images to and from the IPFS. Upload to the IPFS using your own website, mint to Polygon using your own contract and build your own sharing interfaces using our layer which sits on top of the IPFS and Polygon blockchain.
These building blocks start with website shell: content management (if you not building your own website).
