About the project

The client

The Secure File Upload System is a Web3-powered solution that ensures decentralized, secure, and user-controlled file management. By leveraging blockchain technology and decentralized storage, it enhances security, transparency, and data integrity beyond traditional file storage methods.

Project background

The Secure File Upload System is a cutting-edge, web-based solution that leveraged Web3 technologies to provide a decentralized, secure, and user-controlled environment for file management. By utilizing blockchain technology and decentralized storage, the system addresses the inherent limitations of traditional file storage methods, ensuring enhanced security, transparency, and data integrity.

Challenges FAced

Traditional file storage system rely on centralized servers managed by third-party entities. This dependence exposes users to potential data breached, unauthorized access, and data privacy concerns, as they must trust these entities to handle their data securely.

Centralized storage solutions are prone to outages, cyberattacks, and data breaches, which can lead to data loss or unauthorized access. The risk of a single point of failure makes these systems unreliable, especially for users requiring high availability and data integrity.

Users often have little visibility into how their data is stored, accessed, or managed in centralized systems. This lack of transparency results in a reduced sense of control and trust, particularly when handling sensitive or confidential information.

Carpe Diem's Mission

Taking into account the project’s background, our mission was to handle the project transfer from another development provider, review the developed parts, and prepare detailed plans and estimations to finish the project and release the app.

Review the developed app parts (UX/UI + code review + QA) and provide a more specific plan and estimation of the development stage;

Complete the mobile app design and create the design for the admin panel;

Complete Flutter mobile app development;

Develop admin panel;

Strictly stick to the deadlines and the agreed budget.

The goals

The Secure File Upload System aims to provide a decentralized, secure, and user-controlled file management solution.

Fill in the gap in the market by leveraging blockchain and decentralized storage to enhance security, transparency, and data integrity beyond traditional file storage methods.

Generate revenue through subscription plans and enterprise solutions while continuously improving encryption, accessibility, and user experience.

THE Solution

To eliminate centralized control, the system utilized IPFS, a peer-to-peer network that distributes data across multiple nodes.

The system stored file metadata, including file hashes and ownership details, on the Ethereum blockchain via a smart contract.

Files were encrypted on the client side before being uploaded to IPFS, ensuring that sensitive information remained protected during transmission and storage.

Smart contracts were implemented to manage access control logic, ensuring that only authorized users could retrieve and decrypt files.

No budget increase!

No timeline extension!

THE MAIN FEATURE

Enhanced Data Security and User Autonomy

By decentralizing data storage and management, the system provided users with full control over their files. The client-side encryption ensured that data remained protected, and users could verify file integrity through blockchain records, resulting in improved trust and confidence.

Elimination of Single Points of Failure

Storing files on IPFS eliminated the reliance on a single server, ensuring that files remained accessible even if one or more nodes went offline. This made the system highly resilient to outages and cyberattacks.

Improved Transparency and Trust

By storing file metadata on the Ethereum blockchain, the system provided an immutable record of all file interactions. This transparency allowed users to verify file integrity and access history, building trust in the platform.
