Key Components

Authentication Flow

1. User initiates sign-in 2. Email/password or wallet signature 3. Session created in Supabase 4. JWT token issued 5. Client stores token 6. Authenticated requests made

Payment Processing

Crypto (Solana): 1. User initiates payment 2. Transaction built client-side 3. Wallet signs transaction 4. Transaction submitted to network 5. Confirmation received 6. Backend verifies on-chain 7. Access granted

Fiat (Stripe): 1. User initiates payment 2. Checkout session created 3. Redirect to Stripe 4. Payment processed 5. Webhook received 6. Backend updates status 7. Access granted

Video Streaming

1. Creator uploads video 2. Mux ingests and encodes 3. Multiple quality levels created 4. Playback URL generated 5. Viewer requests video 6. Adaptive streaming based on bandwidth 7. Analytics collected

Security Measures

Database

• Row Level Security (RLS)
• Encrypted at rest
• Regular backups
• Access logging

API

• JWT authentication
• Rate limiting
• Input validation
• CORS protection

Blockchain

• Transaction verification
• Wallet signature required
• On-chain audit trail
• Multi-sig for treasury

Scalability

Current Capacity

• 10,000+ concurrent users
• 100TB+ storage available
• Global CDN distribution
• Auto-scaling infrastructure

Future Plans

• Multi-region deployment
• Enhanced caching
• P2P streaming options
• Layer 2 solutions
