Architecture
The ArtsiAI ecosystem is built on a modular, scalable, and decentralized infrastructure that ensures seamless interaction between users, AI models, blockchain smart contracts, and decentralized storage. Below is the layered architecture:
1. Users
Interfaces:
Web (React.js)
Mobile (React Native iOS & Android)
User Actions:
Generate AI art, mint NFTs, buy/sell artworks, stake tokens, vote in governance.
Authentication:
Wallet connection (MetaMask, WalletConnect) for login and authorization.
Optional social login for non-crypto native users.
2. Frontend (React/React Native)
Features:
Intuitive UI for generating art, browsing galleries, minting NFTs, and marketplace trading.
Live previews of AI outputs before minting.
Wallet connection & token balance tracking.
Gamified experience (leaderboards, trending artists, badges).
Libraries:
ethers.jsorwagmi.shfor Ethereum interactions.redux-toolkitorzustandfor state management.tailwindcss+framer-motionfor responsive, animated design.
3. Backend API (Node.js + Express)
Responsibilities:
Handles user requests, session management, and rate-limiting.
Intermediary between frontend and AI/Blockchain layers.
Stores off-chain data such as user profiles, non-sensitive metadata, and session history.
Queue system for AI art generation requests (via Redis).
Database: PostgreSQL
Stores user data, artwork metadata, marketplace history, governance votes.
Caching: Redis
Accelerates frequent queries (e.g., trending NFTs, most popular prompts).
4. Blockchain Layer (Ethereum + L2s)
Smart Contracts (Solidity):
NFT Minting Contract: Mints unique AI-generated art pieces as ERC-721 or ERC-1155 tokens.
Marketplace Contract: Allows users to buy/sell NFTs with $ARTSI tokens or ETH.
Governance Contract: Enables $ARTSI holders to vote on protocol upgrades & community initiatives.
Staking & Rewards Contract: Users can stake tokens to earn revenue shares from marketplace fees.
Networks:
Ethereum mainnet for token + governance.
Layer 2s (Arbitrum/Optimism/zkSync) for low-cost NFT minting and trading.
5. Storage Layer
Decentralized Storage:
IPFS/Filecoin for storing AI-generated images and NFT metadata.
Immutable, censorship-resistant storage ensures long-term preservation of artworks.
Metadata Schema:
Title, description, AI model used, seed, prompt, creation date, artist’s wallet address.
6. AI Engines
Models Used:
Stable Diffusion: Core image generation model.
OpenAI DALL·E: Alternative art generation engine.
Replicate APIs: Access to cutting-edge community-trained models (e.g., anime, 3D, futuristic styles).
Pipeline:
User submits prompt → API queues request.
AI engine generates art → returns preview.
User approves → artwork stored on IPFS/Filecoin → NFT minted on blockchain.
Customization:
Users can fine-tune generations (resolution, style, variations).
AI learns from community prompts to improve recommendations.
7. Token Economy Integration
$ARTSI token is embedded across all layers:
Pay AI generation fees.
Stake to unlock premium features (HD generation, fast queue).
Governance rights (DAO voting).
Marketplace trading currency.
8. Security & Compliance
Audits:
Smart contracts audited by leading firms (e.g., CertiK).
User Safety:
Rate limiting on AI usage to prevent abuse.
Content moderation with AI filters to prevent harmful generations.
Compliance:
Adheres to NFT & token compliance in key jurisdictions.
