IPFS Vault Metadata & Registry Admin Tool

[edehvictor]

📝 Description

Storing vault names, descriptions, and icon URLs directly in smart contracts is expensive. We need an admin tool that pins JSON metadata to IPFS and updates the contract registry with the CID.

🎯 Acceptance Criteria

• Build a frontend admin form to input Vault Name, Description, and upload an SVG Icon.
• Build a backend route that accepts this data, formats it into standard JSON, and uploads it to IPFS via Pinata.
• Return the IPFS CID to the frontend, and construct the Soroban transaction to update the vault's metadata_uri variable.
• Update the main frontend application to resolve and cache IPFS links dynamically.

🛠 Technical Details

• Stack: React, Node.js, Pinata API, IPFS.
• Location: /backend/services/ipfs/
• Security: Ensure uploaded images are sanitized (e.g., stripping malicious scripts from SVGs) before pinning.

⏱ Complexity & Scope

• Estimated Time: 2-3 weeks.
• Drips Complexity: High (200 points) - Decentralized storage integration and smart contract updates.

📋 Guidelines for Submission

• Minimum 90 percent test coverage required.
• Clear NatSpec-style documentation must be added to public contract functions.
• Timeframe for completion: 2 Wave cycles.

I’m a strong fit for this task because I specialize in building secure, full-stack blockchain tools that integrate decentralized storage. My approach would be to implement a clean admin form for Vault Name, Description, and SVG upload, securely sanitize the assets, pin the JSON metadata to IPFS via Pinata, and return the CID to update the Soroban smart contract. I’ll also ensure the main frontend dynamically resolves and caches IPFS links, with comprehensive tests and clear NatSpec documentation for contract interactions.
