Arweave 3D assets are not resolving

[juxton]

Hi there, I’m having an issue today where 3D assets in my Manifold contracts are not resolving:

Mug Club Mug

Tavern Mug

I have not made any recent updates to the data on these, they just stopped resolving today.

My wallet address if needed is juxton.eth

Thanks!

Thanks for flagging this. We tracked it down to an issue with the Arweave network path these 3D assets were resolving through. We’ve now implemented a fix so Manifold will try better Arweave gateways instead of relying on the failing one, and it should be working again now.

If you’re still seeing the problem, please hard refresh the page and let us know which token page is still failing.

Thank for your help, but I’m still seeing problems.

Here is my contract:

https://basescan.org/token/0x806da6cd44bfac751cd198873fa3478402f15b53#readProxyContract

If you check for uri for token ID 2, you will get this arweave uri back:

https://arweave.net/ysA5Euga9EHQxfKvjdJHwD67u-Krt45udOu28cBLm38

If you explore the json payload of that uri and hit the animation_url, you will see it 404:

https://arweave.net/fsyuizHvLwK3hDt_joouHs6cv3xasNdv5cIeLJLLT7c

But it is the strangest thing - if I hit this directly a few time, sometimes it does load for me every once in a while. Not in any kind of reproducable way.

It definitely feels like some kind of Arweave issue, possibly gateways I’m not really sure.

The front end for these assets is at: https://mugclub.wtf

There you should be able to see the assets either load or fail, and also should be able to see the web inspector to catch any network errors on those assets.

The best recommendation for rendering Arweave URLs is to use the gateway finder tool provided by the team: GitHub - ar-io/wayfinder: WayFinder is a set of tools and libraries that enable decentralized and verifiable access to data stored on Arweave via the ar.io gateway network. · GitHub
. We use this in Manifold to locate and render assets based on the best available gateway.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for this recommendation. I’ve updated my implementation to use this approach and it is now working for me. This would be helpful to add to the Manifold developer docs if not already present.
