Filecoin Creative Storage

🎯 Project Overview

Universal decentralized storage for creative data

📊 Current Implementation Status

✅ Implemented Features

IPFS client library exists but no real network connections

⚠️ Partially Implemented

• Marketplace Integration: UI complete but uses simulated calls
• Cross-Chain Bridge: Metadata tracking only
• Wallet Integration: Mock connections for demo

❌ Not Yet Implemented

• Production Deployment: No live network deployments
• Real Marketplace Transactions: All UI actions are simulated
• Camera-Based Emotion Detection: Placeholder functionality
