Technical Architecture
Overview
The technical foundation of Synthetik AI is designed to support a seamless, efficient, and secure digital art creation and NFT minting process. This architecture combines state-of-the-art AI models with robust blockchain technologies to ensure scalability, user privacy, and data integrity.
AI Image Generation Engine
Model Selection: Synthetik AI leverages the latest image generation models such as Stable Diffusion and DALL-E to produce high-quality images. These models are chosen for their ability to generate complex, high-resolution artworks from textual or basic graphical inputs.
Training and Data: The AI models are trained on a diverse dataset of artworks covering various styles, genres, and historical periods to ensure a broad creative scope. The training process adheres to strict ethical guidelines, with a focus on minimizing biases and promoting diversity.
Model Optimization: Techniques such as transfer learning, model pruning, and quantization are employed to enhance performance and reduce latency, making the platform suitable for real-time art generation.
Decentralized Control via User-Deployed Smart Contracts
Concept Overview
Synthetik AI introduces a pioneering approach in the digital art and NFT space by allowing users to deploy their own smart contracts directly on the blockchain. This feature is central to our philosophy of democratizing digital artistry and giving creators true autonomy over their works.
Technical Implementation
Smart Contract Templates: Synthetik AI provides a series of customizable smart contract templates that are compliant with major blockchain standards such as ERC-721 and ERC-1155. These templates are designed to be both flexible and secure, catering to a range of needs from basic to highly intricate NFT functionalities.
Deployment Tools: Synthetik AI equips users with streamlined tools to deploy their modified contracts directly from the platform to the blockchain. This process is designed to be as simple as pressing a button, yet it embeds sophisticated verification checks to ensure that the contracts are secure and error-free before deployment.
Benefits of User-Deployed Contracts
Complete Ownership: By deploying their own contracts, artists maintain complete ownership and control over their digital assets. This ownership is not merely technical but also legal, as the blockchain transaction includes clear, immutable records of creatorship and ownership rights.
Customizable Economics: Artists can set their own terms for how their artworks are monetized. This includes setting initial prices, defining royalty structures for secondary sales, and potentially creating scarcity dynamics to drive value.
Enhanced Security and Trust: With direct control over their smart contracts, creators are not dependent on third-party platforms, which often pose risks related to changes in service terms, potential shutdowns, or platform breaches. This direct control enhances trust among buyers and collectors, knowing that they are engaging directly with the artist’s terms.
Innovation in Digital Art Forms: This flexibility opens up new possibilities for innovation within digital art forms. Artists can experiment with dynamic NFTs that change over time, interact with viewers, or even react to external data feeds, all governed by the logic within their personal smart contracts.
Security Measures
Access Control: Robust access control mechanisms are implemented to ensure that users can only access their own data and settings, secured by the user’s wallet.
Regular Audits: The platform undergoes regular security audits by independent third parties to identify and rectify potential vulnerabilities.
User Flow and System Operations
User Interaction and AI Model Selection
Prompt Entry and Model Selection:
Users begin by entering a descriptive prompt to generate images. This input is processed by the frontend which interfaces with server.
Users select between available AI models, such as DALL-E 2, DALL-E 3 or Stable Diffusion. Each model has different capabilities and strengths, which are documented in the platform to help users make informed decisions.
Image Generation Parameters:
Users specify the number of images they wish to generate. The system dynamically calculates the required credits and potential costs based on the model selected and the quantity of images.
Financial Transactions and Balance Verifications
Wallet Connection and Balance Check:
Users connect their digital wallets to the platform. The frontend sends a request to the server to verify the balances of $STK (Synthetik token), network gas token, and platform credits within the user's wallet.
The system checks if the user has sufficient credits to cover the image generation request. If not, the user is prompted to acquire additional credits or tokens.
Image Generation and Storage
Image Generation and Storage:
Upon confirmation of sufficient credits, the user submits the generation request. The backend orchestrates the AI models to produce the requested images.
Generated images are temporarily stored in Storj decentralized object storage. This ensures that images are not lost and can be retrieved in case the user's session is interrupted or they wish to return to the task later.
The backend updates the user's credit balance to reflect the consumed credits and records the transaction in the platform's database.
Finalizing and Minting NFTs
Display and Selection of Images:
Once images are generated, they are displayed to the user for selection. Users can choose which images they want to proceed with for NFT minting.
Metadata and NFT Details:
Users have the option to add detailed attributes to each image, such as title, description, and key-value properties, which enrich the NFTs with searchable metadata.
NFT Collection Preparation:
Users enter a collection name and symbol, preparing for the final step of deploying their personalized smart contract.
Contract Deployment and NFT Minting:
Images and their metadata are uploaded to IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) for permanent decentralized storage.
The user deploys a ERC721 or ERC1155 standard smart contract directly from their wallet, which will handle the creation of the collection and NFT minting process. This contract links directly to the IPFS-stored images and metadata, ensuring each NFT points to its corresponding assets.
