Flow Description

1. User Interface Layer

   • App discovery through categories and search
   • Installation/uninstallation interface
   • App management dashboard

2. Data Layer

   • Local app registry (demo phase)
   • IPFS storage for metadata
   • Universal Profile LSP28TheGrid data

3. Process Flow

   • User selects app to install/uninstall
   • System prepares LSP28TheGrid metadata
   • Metadata is uploaded to IPFS
   • IPFS hash is retrieved
   • Final LSP28TheGrid data is prepared and encoded
   • Universal Profile is updated with new grid data

4. Integration Points

   • Universal Profile Provider for blockchain interaction
   • IPFS (Pinata) for decentralized storage
   • Local registry for app metadata (to be decentralized in future)
