Development of NFT functionality for LiveCGI Streaming Platform

Business Needs

1. Smart contract for SKALE minting: design a smart contract enabling seamless minting on the SKALE network, facilitating subsequent NFT listing on the Curate platform;
2. Smart contract for Ethereum minting: develop a smart contract to enable efficient minting on the Ethereum network, paving the way for NFT listing on Opensea;
3. Bridge integration for Ethereum: implement bridge mechanism for swift asset transfer from Skale to Ethereum;
4. Storage and retrieval process: establish a streamlined process to fetch both video clips and metadata from the Amazon S3 bucket. Subsequently, store them on IPFS, generating corresponding URIs for NFT minting;
5. Cross-chain minting via bridge: construct a bridge contract that empowers users to seamlessly mint NFTs, ensuring smooth cross-chain compatibility from Skale to the Ethereum chain;
6. Web3 wallet interaction: Integrate smart contract functionality with users’ wallets, ensuring seamless sign-in from the SMS;
7. Curate marketplace integration: Enable Skale-chain NFTs to be seamlessly viewable and integrated within the Curate Marketplace ecosystem.

Implemented Solution

• Implementation of smart contracts for NFT minting on both Ethereum and Skale networks, ensuring compatibility and accessibility across platforms;
• NFT listing functionality facilitated through a seamlessly integrated API connection to OpenSea and Curate marketplaces;
• Minting of NFT tokens, based on streamed video clips, facilitated through an intuitive process;
• User access is enabled through an SMS-based login process;
• Robust integration with IPFS for efficient storage and interactions of media files and metadata;
• Smooth NFT bridging to Ethereum leveraging the established IMA bridge solution.

Challenges

One of the challenges we encountered was incomplete status of the Curate web version. Our planned deadline was set before Curate’s final version was ready. This presented challenges as we had to ensure our information stayed current and make sure everything matched up correctly.

Therefore, we agreed on a solution to mint tokens through the Curate mobile app. This twist in the tale added an extra layer of complexity to our development process. Still, through strategic adjustments and perseverance, we managed to navigate this challenge and ensure a successful integration.
