    Since the work of \textit{M. Khovanov} [Duke Math. J. 101, No. 3, 359--426 (2000; Zbl 0960.57005)] on categorification of the Jones polynomial, categorification has become an interesting problem to study. This paper concerns the following question: Is there a categorical program for the quantum group \(\mathbf{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}(1\mid1))\) and its fundamental representation which could recover knot Floer homology? The aim of this paper is to present a categorification of the algebra structure of an integral version of \(\mathbf{U}_{q}(\mathfrak{sl}(1\mid1))\). The author explains that this categorification is given by geometric objects induced by contact structures (see [\textit{K. Honda}, J. Differ. Geom. 55, No. 1, 83--143 (2000; Zbl 1038.57007)]).
