Platform Architecture
Gitex’s platform architecture is engineered for scalability, performance, and robust security, seamlessly integrating modern web technologies with cutting-edge AI systems and decentralized blockchain protocols. At a high level, the architecture is divided into four main layers: Frontend Presentation, AI Generation Services, Blockchain & Storage, and Infrastructure & DevOps.
5.1 Frontend Presentation Layer
- Web Application:A React-based single-page application (SPA) built with Tailwind CSS ensures a responsive, mobile-first design. Our UI leverages modular, card-driven components, interactive sliders, and real-time rendering to deliver a fluid user experience across devices. Accessibility is baked in through ARIA roles and contrast-compliant themes that accommodate all users.
- Authentication & Wallet Integration:Users connect via Web3 wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect) or OAuth providers for traditional accounts. Wallet connections are secured by standard EIP-1193 interfaces for sign-in, and session persistence is managed via encrypted JSON Web Tokens (JWTs).
- Content Canvas & Editor:A dynamic canvas allows users to preview AI-generated images and text in real time. Editing tools—crop, color adjustments, text styling—are provided through lightweight client-side libraries, minimizing round trips to the server and reducing latency.
5.2 AI Generation Services Layer
- Microservices Architecture:Gitex’s AI capabilities are exposed via a suite of containerized microservices, each responsible for a specific task (image diffusion, text generation, style transfer). We use Docker and Kubernetes for orchestration, enabling horizontal scaling on demand based on queue length and CPU/GPU utilization.
- Model Hosting & Management:High-performance GPU clusters host optimized versions of Stable Diffusion, custom fine-tuned GANs, and GPT-derived copywriting models. A model registry tracks versioning, configuration parameters, and performance benchmarks to allow A/B testing and seamless rollbacks.
- Prompt Queue & Caching:Incoming prompt requests are routed through a message broker (RabbitMQ or Kafka) to ensure resiliency. Frequently used prompts and resulting assets are cached in Redis for instant retrieval, dramatically reducing costs for popular templates.
5.3 Blockchain & Storage Layer
- Smart Contracts:Deployed on an EVM-compatible chain (initially Ethereum testnets, with planned support for Polygon and BNB Chain), our smart contracts handle NFT minting, token transfers, and governance voting. Contracts are audited and use OpenZeppelin libraries for secure, upgradeable patterns.
- Decentralized Storage:Generated assets are pinned to IPFS via a Filecoin-backed pinning service. Metadata—prompt history, creator wallet, asset hash—is stored on-chain to guarantee immutability and verifiability.
- Token & Staking Module:The $GTX BEP-20 contract includes built-in staking logic and fee-discount tiers. Users stake tokens through a frontend interface, locking them in a staking contract that programmatically adjusts generation fees and unlocks premium features.
5.4 Infrastructure & DevOps Layer
- CI/CD Pipeline:Automated pipelines (GitHub Actions) run linting, unit/integration tests, security scans (Snyk), and deployment steps. Artifacts—Docker images—are versioned and stored in a container registry.
- Monitoring & Logging:Prometheus and Grafana track system metrics (latency, GPU utilization, error rates). EFK (Elasticsearch, Fluentd, Kibana) stacks aggregate logs for real-time debugging and historical analysis.
- Security & Compliance:SSL/TLS is enforced across all endpoints. Role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) protect admin consoles. Regular penetration tests and smart-contract audits ensure adherence to security best practices.
This multi-tiered, modular architecture allows Gitex to flexibly scale, maintain high availability, and deliver an exceptional user experience—while ensuring that every generated asset is securely minted, stored, and governed on-chain.
