Ichtaka
A secure anonymous sharing platform featuring a non-custodial authentication system and real-time recursive engagement.
01. The Problem
Digital anonymity is currently a binary choice: either sacrifice security through centralized password storage or sacrifice usability. Modern discourse requires a system that treats user identity as a sovereign, non-custodial asset while maintaining the fluid, real-time engagement of a centralized social platform.
02. The Logic
Challenge-response authentication using Ed25519 signatures derived from BIP39 mnemonics.
Recursive component rendering for infinite-depth nested comment hierarchies.
Silent token rotation via Axios interceptors and secure HttpOnly refresh tokens.
Real-time state synchronization using global WebSocket broadcasting for votes and live feed updates.
03. The Stack
04. The Solution
Implementation Result
Built a zero-trust architecture where the server never sees user passwords, paired with a modern Next.js frontend that manages complex real-time states and recursive data structures through a unified WebSocket layer.
Key Outcomes
- 01.Zero server-side password storage
- 02.< 150ms real-time update latency
- 03.Seamless token rotation with zero user interruption
Reflection
- Advanced implementation of EdDSA signatures in web environments.
- Scaling nested comment systems with recursive SQL queries and React components.
- Managing complex WebSocket broadcast logic in a distributed backend.
