## Using Your Collection CID

Once you've successfully uploaded your collection, you can use the CID in various ways:

* **For NFT Assets**: Use the collection CID to reference your entire asset folder in NFT projects
* **In NFT Metadata Files**: Include the CID in your NFT metadata JSON files to link to images and other assets
* **For NFT Marketplaces**: Use the CID when minting or listing NFTs on platforms like [Stargaze](https://www.stargaze.zone).
* **For NFT Smart Contracts**: Reference the CID in your smart contracts for on-chain verification of assets
* **For NFT Galleries**: Create decentralized galleries that display your NFT collections using the CID

The CID serves as a permanent, content-addressed identifier for your entire NFT collection, ensuring your digital assets remain accessible and verifiable on the IPFS network for collectors and marketplaces.
