NFT uri and meta image url

In particular for ERC1551 contract where we point to an URI for the JSON and within the JSON which points to the image file does it matter if we just a pinning url such as https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/...or purely the ipfs//… It appears both work ??? which is preferred

Hey,

You could check out their documentation on pinning services (Pinata) on their website here -
Perhaps this can give you more context on how these things are architected
