Project Description
Universaldot.me is a freelancing decentralized application (dApp) that allows individuals to create/complete tasks and organize themselves by creating geographically distributed organizations. As such, it intends to simplify the way people and organizations create contracts with one another. It has been developed using Substrate blockchain framework, but it requires off-chain decentralized storage for large information and files.
Currently, on the market, there are a plethora of open-sourced and closed-source solutions for decentralized data storage. IPFS is one of the leading open-source peer-2-peer decentralized storage solutions. As such, we have chosen to integrate with the most suitable and mature technology stack that solves the problem of storing large files in a decentralized system.
This grant will enable the project to implement the needed integration with IPFS. The planned integration is described in detail in the following document.
Value
-
The Foundation intends to Run several IPFS nodes which will provide for wider storage capacity and use of the IPFS network.
-
We will provide complete integration of React application with IPFS. This can later be used as a reference implementation for other web developers using IPFS.
-
Provide basic integration with Substrate Node.
-
If the case that the freelancing application becomes widely successful, it will add additional exposure to IPFS.
Deliverables
Milestone 1
- Design Document for IPFS Integration
- Initial integration of ipfs-http-client
- Dockerize the complete deployment
Milestone 2.
- Complete integration of the IPFS API with ipfs-http-client.
- Storing IPFS CID documents in blockchain storage
- Retrieving IPFS documents from blockchain storage
- Run IPFS Nodes with Docker on a cloud provider
