Metadata

The Metadata Feature of allows you to store arbitrary data in outputs. Of course, storing data in outputs increases the minimum base token requirement, but in turn it provides a data storage option that is available 24/7 on any network node.

As soon as the output with metadata is consumed, it is pruned from nodes' databases and base tokens used as storage deposit are freed up.
