Real-Time Infrastructure and System Integration

Sphere.ai’s backend architecture is designed to support high-throughput content delivery and low-latency user interaction, ensuring a responsive experience for both creators and fans across web and mobile environments. The system leverages modern distributed infrastructure and real-time communication protocols to maintain consistency, speed, and reliability.

Content Delivery and Storage

• Media assets are distributed via a hybrid CDN system, combining traditional edge caching with decentralized storage mechanisms such as IPFS

• Version-controlled file handling ensures content consistency across edits and multi-platform exports

• Metadata indexing is structured to support content traceability, discoverability, and lightweight backup recovery

Event-Based Interaction System

• Real-time events such as tipping, leaderboard updates, and challenge participation are handled through WebSocket-based channels

• Backend event processing uses Kafka-based message queues to decouple UI responsiveness from compute-intensive updates

• Enables live fan feedback, stream overlays, interactive pop-ups, and on-chain interaction notifications

Identity and Wallet Integration

• Users may authenticate using non-custodial wallets or link social accounts for hybrid onboarding

• Integrated wallet interface supports $SPH balance management, staking, and on-platform transactions

• DID-compatible identity architecture allows for future support of cross-platform verification and pseudonymous reputation
