Next Step Microgrant: Web3Eye NFT Survivor

1. What is your project, and what problem does it solve? (max 100 words)

When we built our cross-chain indexer, we found many NFTs lose their original picture due to they're stored in centralized storage, or deleted by the creator. Due to we're Filecoin miner and we're familiar with Filecoin storage, so we have the idea to make a backup of such content then store it to Filecoin storage. After that, when user browse the content and find it's lost, she/he can restore it with our tools and service easily.

3. a) How is IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology used in this project?

We implement a Filecoin storage client in our service to store the backup to Filecoin storage. We have a frontend to display the NFTs, and if the original data is lost, user can click restore to restore the data from Filecoin storage. And we may have a bounty smart contract to let community to do that if we cannot find the lost data in our Filecoin storage backup. We implement a Filecoin storage retrieve client in our service to restore the backup from Filecoin storage, and store it to IPFS again. If frontend cannot display original data, it'll display the recovered one with a original data lost tips

b) Is this project building with the current microgrants focus area (FVM)? (Yes or No)

Yes.
