WebApp

Primary web application for interacting with the Jeskei on-chain system.

Technology Stack Recommendations

Frontend (Pure Client-Side)

• Framework: Vite + React (or Next.js static export)
• Language: TypeScript
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• State Management: Zustand + IndexedDB for persistence
• UI Components: Radix UI + custom components

Blockchain Integration

• Web3 Library: ethers.js v6
• Wallet Connection: RainbowKit or ConnectKit
• Contract Interaction: Wagmi hooks
• Data Indexing: The Graph Protocol for blockchain data

Decentralized Storage & Media

• Primary Storage: IPFS (js-ipfs in browser)
• Video Player: HLS.js with IPFS gateway streaming
• File Upload: Direct to IPFS (Pinata/Fleek APIs)
• Content Processing: Client-side with WebAssembly (FFmpeg.wasm)
• Metadata Storage: IPFS + smart contract references

Serverless Infrastructure

• File Processing: Cloudflare Workers or Vercel Edge Functions
• IPFS Pinning: Pinata, Fleek, or Web3.Storage APIs
• CDN: IPFS gateways + Cloudflare for performance
• Analytics: Client-side with privacy-preserving libraries

Decentralized Architecture Benefits

✅ True Decentralization

• No Backend Servers: Everything runs client-side in the browser
• Censorship Resistant: App deployed on IPFS, accessible via ENS domains
• Privacy-First: No user data collection, all analytics privacy-preserving
• Cost Effective: No server costs, only IPFS pinning and CDN costs
• Global Access: IPFS gateways provide worldwide content distribution

🔄 Challenges & Solutions

• Content Processing: Use WebAssembly (FFmpeg.wasm) for client-side video processing
• Data Persistence: IndexedDB for local storage, The Graph for blockchain data
• Performance: IPFS gateways + CDN for fast content delivery
• Analytics: Privacy-preserving, client-side analytics only
• Real-time Features: Blockchain events + local state management

Key Architectural Changes

1. Static Site Generation: Build app as static files deployable to IPFS
2. Client-Side Everything: All processing, storage, and computation in browser
3. The Graph Integration: Replace traditional APIs with GraphQL subgraphs
4. WebAssembly: Handle video/audio processing client-side
5. IPFS-First: Content storage and app deployment entirely on IPFS
