📦Storage Layer

SolEcho separates content storage from the blockchain by using decentralized storage solutions like IPFS and Arweave, ensuring scalability and permanence.

Storage Strategy:

1. IPFS (InterPlanetary File System):

   • Stores media files, post content, and metadata off-chain.

   • Ensures fast, peer-to-peer access to content.

2. Arweave:

   • Used for long-term, permanent data storage.

   • Ideal for archiving content that should never be lost or censored.

3. On-Chain Metadata:

   • Posts are associated with metadata stored on the blockchain.

   • Metadata includes:

     • Author's wallet ID.

     • Timestamps.

     • Content hash (for integrity verification).

     • Tags or post categories.

🔐 This hybrid approach maintains decentralization without bloating the blockchain.
