# IP Integration Architecture

#### Story Protocol Integration

**IP Registration Flow:**

```
1. Asset Creation Request
2. Mint NFT for Asset
3. Register IP with Story Protocol
4. Set up PIL Licensing Terms
5. Configure Royalty Policy
6. Return Asset ID to User
```

**Key Integration Points:**

```
// IP Asset Registry integration
function registerIP(address nftContract, uint256 tokenId) 
    external returns (address ipId);

// Licensing module integration
function registerLicenseTerms(PIL_Terms memory terms) 
    external returns (uint256 licenseTermsId);
```

#### IPFS Integration

**Content Storage Strategy:**

* **Media Files** - Original asset content
* **Metadata** - JSON with asset descriptions
* **Profile Data** - Creator photos and information

**Pinning Strategy:**

* Platform maintains pinning service
* Redundant storage across multiple nodes
* Content addressing for immutability

### Scalability Considerations

#### Gas Optimization

**Efficient Operations:**

* Batch processing where possible
* Optimized data structures
* Minimal storage operations
* Event-based data retrieval

**Storage Optimization:**

```
// Pack multiple values in single storage slot
struct PackedData {
    uint128 value1;    // 16 bytes
    uint128 value2;    // 16 bytes
    // Total: 32 bytes (1 storage slot)
}
```
