Platform Architecture

BlockBox is built on a layered architecture:

  • Blockchain Layer: This serves as the foundational layer, ensuring data integrity, transparency, and decentralization. Each file's metadata and access controls are recorded on the blockchain, providing a tamper-proof audit trail.

  • Storage Layer: Distributed file storage is facilitated using the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) protocol. Files are split into chunks, encrypted, and then distributed across a decentralized network of nodes.

  • Application Layer: This is where the user interacts with the BlockBox platform. It's designed for simplicity and ease of use, with a clean UI and robust functionalities that make file management seamless.
