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.

Flutter
Flutter is a mobile app SDK for building high-performance, high-fidelity apps for iOS and Android from a single codebase. It allows the delivery of high-performance apps that feel natural on different platforms. Flutter apps are built using Dart, a simple object-oriented programming language. Dart compiles into native code, and there is no need to access OEM widgets, as Flutter has its own. This means less mediated communication between the app and the platform. All of this contributes to fast app start-up times and fewer performance issues. One of the most lauded features of Flutter is hot reload, which allows you to instantly view the changes made in the code on emulators, simulators and hardware. The changed code is reloaded in less than a second while the app is running without a restart. This is great not just for building Uls or adding features but also for bug fixing.
Java
Java was designed to be easy to use and is, therefore, easier to write, compile, debug and learn than other programming languages. This allows the creation of modular programs and reusable code. One of the most significant advantages of Java is its ability to move easily from one computer system to another.
Spring
Spring Framework is a powerful, lightweight application development framework for Java Enterprise Edition. It can be described as a complete and modular framework. The Spring Framework can be used for all layer implementations of a real-time application. It can also be used to develop a particular layer of a real-time application.
We chose Scrum to develop the Moblet mobile application because it is a flexible methodology that allows us to adapt to changes and customer requirements quickly. Scrum also facilitates effective communication and collaboration between all project participants. As a result of applying Scrum, the Moblet project was successfully delivered on time and budget.
