NFT metadata
Descriptive data linked to an NFT, such as its name, attributes and media references.
In more detail
The token identifies the item, while metadata often supplies what a marketplace displays about it. This can live onchain or come from an external location. The contract and storage arrangement determine whether it can change and whether the referenced media remains available, rather than the NFT label deciding those details.
How you might use it
"Why does the marketplace show those traits?" The NFT's metadata JSON supplies its name, attributes and image reference.
