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.js or wagmi.sh for Ethereum interactions.

    • redux-toolkit or zustand for state management.

    • tailwindcss + framer-motion for 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:

    1. User submits prompt → API queues request.

    2. AI engine generates art → returns preview.

    3. 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.
