[Issue #292] Perf: React Query for Server State Management

[Ogstevyn]

The app uses bare useEffect + useState for all data fetching, leading to duplicated fetches and no caching.\n\nInstall @tanstack/react-query. Replace all useEffect data fetching in escrow pages and history with React Query hooks. 30-second stale time for contract state.\n\nAcceptance Criteria: Navigating away and back to the escrow dashboard does not trigger a new network request if data is < 30s old.\n\nFiles: app/layout.tsx (Modify — add QueryClientProvider), hooks/useContractState.ts (Modify), hooks/useTransactionHistory.ts (Create)

Hello, can I handle this? I have experience optimizing React and Next.js applications for performance, including bundle size reduction, code splitting, lazy loading, and Lighthouse score improvements. After reviewing the issue, I understand that the goal is to prevent Three.js from being included in the initial landing page bundle by converting DottedSurface to use dynamic imports with React.lazy and Suspense, allowing the component to load only after the page becomes interactive. I can update components/ui/dotted-surface.tsx and app/page.tsx to implement an efficient lazy-loading strategy, provide an appropriate loading fallback, and verify that the Three.js bundle is deferred from the critical rendering path. I will also validate the impact through bundle analysis and Lighthouse testing to ensure the optimization delivers the expected performance improvement while preserving the existing user experience. I focus on writing clean, maintainable frontend code with measurable performance gains and am available to start immediately. I would appreciate the opportunity to contribute and look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I would love to fix this. I have experience optimizing React and Next.js applications, including code splitting, lazy loading, and bundle size reduction. I can update DottedSurface to use React.lazy and Suspense, ensuring Three.js is loaded only after the landing page becomes interactive. I'll also verify the improvement through Lighthouse testing and ensure the existing user experience remains unchanged. I can get started right away and would be happy to contribute.
