Polyverse

POLYVERSE is a decentralized creator economy platform that enables subscription-based content monetization through multiple cutting-edge Web3 technologies. Unlike traditional creator platforms that rely on centralized infrastructure and take significant platform fees, POLYVERSE combines four powerful technologies to create a truly decentralized, creator-first marketplace.

The platform integrates:

• x402: HTTP 402 micropayments on Polygon for subscription management
• Filecoin Network: Decentralized, censorship-resistant content storage via Lighthouse SDK
• KiraPay Integration: Multi-chain payment processing across Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, and Filecoin
• The Graph Hypergraph: Real-time decentralized data synchronization and knowledge graph management

Creators can upload content directly to Filecoin's decentralized storage network, set up subscription tiers with x402-powered micropayments, receive payments across multiple blockchains through KiraPay, and have all platform data managed through The Graph's decentralized infrastructure. This architecture ensures creators maintain full ownership of their content and earnings while providing fans with transparent, verifiable access to premium content.

Core Architecture: Frontend: Next.js 14 with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion for smooth animations State Management: React hooks with custom Hypergraph integration Data Layer: The Graph Hypergraph for decentralized, real-time data synchronization Entity System: GRC-20 compliant schema with Creator, Fan, Follow, Product, and SubscriptionTier entities

Key Technologies:

1. The Graph Hypergraph: Powers the entire data layer with local-first architecture and network sync
2. x402 Payment System: HTTP 402 micropayments implementation on Polygon Amoy testnet
3. Filecoin Lighthouse SDK: Decentralized storage with encryption and access control
4. KiraPay API: Multi-chain payment gateway supporting major blockchain networks
5. TypeScript: Ensures type safety across the entire application stack
6. React Query Patterns: Custom hooks for real-time data fetching and caching
7. UUID Generation: Consistent entity identification across the decentralized network

Notable Technical Achievements:

Multi-Protocol Integration: The most challenging aspect was seamlessly integrating four different Web3 technologies into a unified platform. Each service required different authentication methods, data formats, and error handling patterns:

• x402 required implementing HTTP 402 status codes with payment headers and Polygon blockchain integration
• Filecoin Lighthouse needed wallet signature authentication and IPFS content addressing
• KiraPay demanded webhook handling for payment confirmations across multiple chains
• The Graph Hypergraph required GRC-20 entity modeling and real-time synchronization

Real-Time Payment Processing: Built a sophisticated payment flow that handles multiple blockchains and payment methods:

• x402 micropayments for recurring subscriptions with automatic renewal
• KiraPay integration for one-time purchases and multi-chain support
• Smart contract interactions for on-chain verification
• Webhook processing for payment confirmation and access token generation

Decentralized Content Management: Implemented a complete content delivery system using Filecoin:

• Direct file uploads to IPFS through Lighthouse SDK
• Encryption for premium content with wallet-based access control
• Deal status tracking for long-term storage guarantees
• CDN integration for fast global content delivery
