[qq919006380]

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

A Web3 image hosting platform is a tool built on Web3 technologies that addresses the following issues compared to traditional image hosting solutions:

• Decentralized Storage: Web3 image hosting utilizes decentralized storage, eliminating reliance on a single central server and enhancing data reliability.
• Data Security: Through encryption and distributed storage techniques, Web3 image hosting enhances the security of image data and reduces the risk of unauthorized usage.
• Preventing Link Breakage: Web3 image hosting employs content addressing to ensure the persistence of image links, even if service providers become unavailable.
• Data Ownership: By utilizing blockchain technology to record image metadata, it ensures data authenticity and ownership, allowing users to have better control over their data.
• No Need to Trust Third Parties: Web3 image hosting is not dependent on a single centralized service provider, reducing the need to place complete trust in any entity to safeguard data.

Web3 image hosting provides a more secure, reliable, and decentralized image hosting solution suitable for distributed applications and users, particularly emphasizing data privacy and ownership protection.

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

1. upload content via IPFS connector tools like nft.storage to obtain a CID.
2. The CID is then transformed into encrypted code using a compression encryption algorithm.
3. This encrypted code is uploaded to the blockchain via a contract.

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