-## 🏗 Architecture Overview
-
-```
-Frontend (Next.js + React) → Backend (Flask + Python) → MongoDB Database
-                          ↓
-                    Web3 Layer (Ethereum)
-                          ↓
-              Smart Contracts (Solidity) → IPFS Storage
-```
-
-**Key Components:**
-- **Frontend**: Next.js 14, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, MetaMask integration
-- **Backend**: Flask, TensorFlow, Web3.py, JWT authentication
-- **Blockchain**: Solidity smart contracts, ERC-721 NFTs, Foundry toolkit
-- **Database**: MongoDB, Redis cache
-- **Storage**: IPFS for decentralized metadata
