We provided them with a tailored solution based upon the Velox architecture and standard modules. Their setup is customised to fit their unique requirements. Although this financial institution is experienced in the crypto market, this service marked a new area in their offerings.

Our client

This financial institution operates in the cryptocurrency space, focusing on crypto exchange services. Our first interaction with them came through René, who initiated contact after the financial institution found us via the Velox homepage. They were drawn to our expertise in microservice software development with a focus on e-commerce. We already have a strong foundation with Velox, an e-commerce solution we developed.

Solution

The project was particularly unique since we started the implementation from scratch. Sly implemented a specific API and structured the software modularly, allowing the potential for future expansion into separate microservices. This forward-thinking approach meant that even though we started with one solution, it could be evolved into a more segmented service as needed.

Much of the project was new territory for us, especially since we had limited experience in the fintech and crypto exchange space. We kicked off the project at the end of May, clarifying requirements and proposing an architecture before diving into development in mid-June.

A key challenge we faced was the integration of various APIs, many of which we didn’t have access to during development. For instance, although there were several APIs to retrieve available NFTs we didn’t have access to (link to the next blackbox here -- please click here). To overcome this, we used different technologies and to overcome this. Writing and executing these integration tests allowed us to ensure that our implementation would function as intended once connected to the actual APIs.

Implementation

Cornell wrote most integration tests, ensuring the system would respond correctly to API interactions once the services became available. Despite the limitations, the solution was developed successfully, with the integration tests verifying that everything would run smoothly when live.

Our collaboration with Bity was a complete success! Stay tuned for more success stories.
