Key Technical Decisions

✅ OpenSea Metadata Standard

Why: - Industry standard for NFTs - Rich attribute system for filtering/searching - Support for multimedia assets - Well-documented and widely adopted

Schema Structure:

{
  "name": "Resource Name",
  "description": "Detailed description",
  "image": "ipfs://QmXXX",
  "attributes": [
    {"trait_type": "Category", "value": "crypto"}
  ],
  "properties": {
    "resource_id": 123,
    "additional_data": "..."
  }
}

✅ IPFS Storage

Path Conventions: - /market/{id}/metadata.json - Market metadata - /token/{address}/metadata.json - Token metadata - /proposal/{id}/metadata.json - Proposal metadata - /dao/{address}/metadata.json - DAO metadata

Integration: - Leverages existing IPFS infrastructure (see IPFS_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md) - Uses established gateway: https://ipfs.fairwins.app - Caching: 5-minute in-memory cache - Fallback: Mock data support during migration

✅ Smart Contract Registry

Why On-Chain: - Decentralized and trustless - No single point of failure - Immutable record of metadata CIDs - Can be queried by anyone

Design: - Lightweight registry (just CID storage) - Batch operations to save gas - Schema versioning for upgrades - Access control for updates

Data Object Definitions

Market

On-Chain: proposalId, tokens, collateral, trading time, liquidity, status
IPFS: description, category, tags, resolution criteria, images
Usage: ConditionalMarketFactory.sol → MarketTile.jsx

Proposal

On-Chain: proposer, funding, recipient, status, milestones
IPFS: extended description, documents, team, budget breakdown
Usage: ProposalRegistry.sol → Proposal components

Token

On-Chain: address, name, symbol, supply
IPFS: logo, description, tokenomics, utility, links
Usage: TokenMintFactory.sol → Token display components

DAO

On-Chain: contract addresses, governance config
IPFS: branding, mission, governance rules, documentation
Usage: DAOFactory.sol → DAO dashboard

Correlation Group

Off-Chain: group definition, market relationships
IPFS: group metadata, correlation rules
Usage: UI correlation displays

Migration Strategy

Phase 1: Setup ✅

  • Deploy MetadataRegistry contract
  • Configure IPFS access
  • Set up environment variables

Phase 2: Metadata Generation

  • Run migration scripts to generate metadata
  • Validate against schemas
  • Review generated files

Phase 3: IPFS Upload

  • Upload metadata to IPFS (Pinata or direct)
  • Generate CID mapping
  • Verify accessibility

Phase 4: Contract Integration

  • Register CIDs in MetadataRegistry
  • Verify registration
  • Test retrieval

Phase 5: Frontend Migration

  • Create metadata service layer
  • Update components gradually
  • Enable feature flags

Phase 6: Testing & Validation

  • Component testing with both data sources
  • Integration testing
  • Performance monitoring

Phase 7: Production Deployment

  • Deploy to mainnet
  • Gradual rollout (with fallback)
  • Monitor and optimize

Integration Points

For Smart Contracts

// After creating a market
uint256 marketId = createMarket(...);

// Generate and upload metadata to IPFS
// Get CID: QmXXX...

// Register in MetadataRegistry
metadataRegistry.setMetadataById("market", marketId, "QmXXX...");

For Frontend Components

// Fetch metadata
import { getMarketMetadata } from '../services/metadataService'

const metadata = await getMarketMetadata(marketId)
// metadata contains OpenSea-format data with name, description, attributes, etc.

For API/Indexers

// Query all markets from registry
const count = await registry.getResourceCount()
for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
  const key = await registry.getResourceKeyAt(i)
  // Parse and index metadata
}
