Technical Architecture

The technical architecture of Multiverse Art is designed to provide a robust, secure, and seamless experience for artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts engaging with digital art in web3 and beyond.

1. User Interface (UI)

Intuitive interface designed for accessibility, enabling users to easily navigate the 3D platform with simple scroll/swipe functionality or enter a full 3D experience to view art collections, interact with other users, and manage their digital assets.

We are using React.js for dynamic, responsive design; Web3.js/ethers.js for blockchain interactions.

2. Blockchain Layer

We are opting for the use of polygon blockchain for its wide adoption and developer support as well as scalability and lower transaction fees.

3. Decentralised Storage (IPFS)

A peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system, ensuring that artwork data and metadata are permanently accessible and tamper-proof.

Technologies: IPFS for decentralised content hosting; Filecoin for incentivized storage.

4. API Layer

Facilitates communication between the front-end UI, blockchain smart contracts, and other back-end services, ensuring smooth data retrieval and system interoperability.

We will use GraphQL for efficient data queries and REST APIs for interoperability with various services and platforms.

5. Security Infrastructure

Comprehensive security measures to protect user data, transactions, and digital assets against unauthorised access and cyber threats.

Technologies: SSL/TLS for secure data transmission; OAuth for authentication; regular security audits and penetration testing.

6. Marketplace Engine

The backend logic supports the buying, selling, and trading of art on the platform, including search functions, listings, and transaction processing.

Technologies: Node.js for server-side logic; Elasticsearch for powerful search capabilities.

7. Community and Social Features

Integrated tools and features that support user interaction, collaboration, and community building within Multiverse Art. WebSockets for real-time communication; integrated social media APIs for connectivity and sharing.

8. Analytics and Reporting

Tools for tracking platform usage, market trends, and user engagement, providing valuable insights for both platform administrators and users. Google Analytics for user interaction tracking; custom dashboard development for in-depth analytics.

The User Interface interacts directly with the polygon blockchain Layer and smart contracts via the API Layer, facilitating transactions and NFT management. Smart Contracts record transactions and NFT metadata on the Blockchain Layer, while decentralised Storage hosts the actual artwork and related data.

Marketplace Engine and Community and Social Features are integrated into the UI, supported by backend services through the API Layer. Security Infrastructure envelops the entire system, ensuring data integrity and user security at all levels. Analytics and Reporting tools gather data across the platform, providing insights through the UI and API Layer.

This architecture supports the current functionalities of Multiverse Art and also allows for scalability and the integration of future advancements in blockchain and digital art technologies, ensuring that Multiverse Art remains scalable and competitive.

Artwork data, including high-resolution images, audio, documents, video and metadata, is stored on decentralized file systems like IPFS, ensuring permanence and reducing reliance on single points of failure.

Smart Contracts are for automating transactions, rewards distributions and ensuring secure and transparent interactions within the marketplace. These contracts govern the creation, sale, and transfer of NFTs.

Through a user-friendly interface, we allow users to navigate the platform easily. Accessibility is a key focus, ensuring that the benefits of blockchain technology are available to all, regardless of technical expertise.
