Our client needed a sophisticated system for exchanging cryptocurrencies with various financial instruments. With our help, CrypDrift successfully exchanged stocks, instruments, and cryptocurrencies by implementing automated trading bots and expanding its customer base from B2B to B2C. Our company provided CTO as a service to ensure the successful integration of this system.
CrypDrift is a fintech company that needed capital markets software development. The client wanted a user-friendly interface allowing users to perform basic trading operations, including setting up trading bots.
Before starting cooperation with us, one of the main problems was the difficulty of using the accumulated experience and functionality in B2B and B2C trading. In addition, it was important to ensure the exchange between fiat shares and cryptocurrencies. The technical challenges in implementing the main idea were also serious. In these circumstances, there was a need for a comprehensive approach to the development and implementation of a cryptocurrency exchange system. Despite these difficulties, our client had extensive experience in trading and a strong position in the B2B segment, and his idea attracted considerable interest in the market.
The team with Computools’ CTOaaS successfully implemented a system for stocks and cryptocurrency exchange. They also developed a system that enables automated trading through trade bots, considering network latency in trading servers. Additionally, they expanded the client’s offering from B2B to B2C by enhancing functionality and improving the user experience.
The process involved:
Computools successfully implemented the system with key functionality for crypto price monitoring, exchanging stocks and other financial instruments. Our team built an interface that allows users to perform necessary trading operations, including setting up trading bots. Overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community. 70% of users are “Satisfied” or “Highly satisfied” with the changes. The new individual consumer segment reached 50,000 users in the first year.
Computools has a team of experienced professionals skilled in a wide range of technologies and industries. Our expertise is valuable in developing high-quality software solutions. We provide CTO as a Service with an experienced professional, allowing us to understand the specific challenges and opportunities the client faces and create solutions that address them.
The client had a rich experience and a strong market position. However, they were facing an issue in leveraging this success to enter the B2C market.
Communication channels were established to ensure effective collaboration and coordination between the development team and the client. Regular meetings, updates, and feedback sessions were conducted to facilitate financial software development and address any concerns that arose during the process.
During the project, an analysis phase was conducted to create the system architecture and design, which involved developing trading and financial operation algorithms on paper. Subsequently, the core system was implemented, integrating crypto price market data sources and interactive brokers. The team also focused on enhancing functionality, specifically targeting user experience improvements for B2C users.
During the development process, we identified inefficiencies in exchanging cryptocurrencies and fiat shares and proposed changes that led to improvements. We also customised trading algorithms to optimise client results. The user analysis helped us develop functionality aimed at their needs, which contributed to increased satisfaction from using the product.
These tasks in the design phase are critical for user-centred and effective product development.
Developing semi-fictional user profiles to inform product design.
Organising website content for intuitive navigation.
Prototyping the layout and interaction of interface elements.
Crafting the final design for product development.
C++
C++ offers low-level control and efficient memory management and is commonly utilised for system-level programming and performance-critical applications.
Go
Go features a strong type system, garbage collection, and built-in support for concurrent programming, making it well-suited for developing scalable and efficient backend systems.
Node.js
Node.js allows developers to run JavaScript code outside the browser, making it ideal for server-side applications. Node.js provides an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, enabling the creation of highly scalable and efficient network applications.
React and TypeScript
React and TypeScript combine to develop robust and maintainable web applications with enhanced type safety and component-based architecture.
MongoDB
MongoDB offers a flexible schema, allowing for dynamic changes in data structure, and supports distributed data storage, making it suitable for scalable and agile application development.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes provides a robust framework for managing containerised workloads, enabling efficient resource utilisation, high availability, and easy scaling across a cluster of machines.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL provides robust data integrity, ACID compliance, and support for complex queries, making it suitable for a wide range of applications requiring structured data storage and management.
The need for a flexible and iterative approach to project development drives the choice of Agile methodology. It enables quick adaptation to changes in client requirements, evolving solutions, and a constantly changing environment. Agile methodology promotes continuous learning and process improvement throughout the development process.
Furthermore, Agile methodology actively involves the client in the development process. Regular demonstrations, feedback and active client participation allow for refining of requirements and ensuring the development outcomes align with their expectations.
