The first string was recomputed from this file’s bytes, which on its own proves only that the file is what it is. The evidence that it is the minted file is the second: all 1,000 works, rebuilt into a directory node, reproduce that address exactly — the pin published in 2022, which nobody holding the contract today can alter. One flipped bit anywhere in 279 MB would have changed it.
Check it yourself: ipfs add -n --only-hash gator.png on the archival PNG prints the string above, or does not. The image on this page is a WebP derivative for size — the CID refers to the PNG.
