Filecoin Creative Storage

This repository contains the Filecoin Foundation grant implementation for decentralized storage of creative assets with privacy-preserving techniques.

Project Overview

We propose developing a decentralized storage solution for creative assets using IPFS and Filecoin, specifically designed for emotionally-responsive digital art. This module will store high-resolution fractal generations, shader code, and biometric metadata in a permanent, verifiable manner while maintaining privacy controls for sensitive emotional data.

Features

• Decentralized Storage: IPFS/Filecoin storage for creative assets
• Privacy Controls: Selective disclosure for sensitive biometric data
• Data Integrity: SHA-256 hashing for verification
• Version Control: Track evolution of creative works
• Cross-Chain Integration: Works with all grant projects

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rust and Cargo
• Node.js and npm
• IPFS daemon or web3.storage account
• Filecoin wallet

Installation

# Install CLI tools
./scripts/install-cli-tools.sh

# Build the project
./build-filecoin-grant.sh

Building

# Build IPFS integration
cd src/ipfs-integration
cargo build --release

Deployment

1. Configure IPFS and Filecoin providers
2. Deploy smart contracts if needed
3. Serve test-website on a web server

Practical Emotional Data Collection

Our system implements multiple practical approaches for collecting emotional data that work without specialized hardware:

1. Manual Input Methods (Primary Approach)

   • Simple slider controls for valence, arousal, and dominance
   • Works on any device with a browser
   • No special hardware required

2. Camera-Based Analysis (Enhancement)

   • Facial expression analysis using standard webcams
   • Local processing for privacy
   • Real-time emotional state detection

3. Interaction Pattern Analysis (Passive Collection)

   • Keyboard typing rhythm analysis
   • Mouse movement dynamics
   • Subtle emotional inference from user behavior

4. EEG/BMI Integration (Future Enhancement)

   • Compatible with consumer biometric devices
   • Advanced emotional state detection
   • Research-grade precision for specialized applications
