Client Wanted a Simple Exchanger, But It Turned Out a Full DEX Was Needed

How It All Began

The client approached us with a request to create a simple cryptocurrency exchanger that would allow users to easily exchange one cryptocurrency for another. However, already in the early stages of project discussion, it became clear that a simple exchanger would not meet all the client's needs. The client wanted to create a full-fledged DEX (Decentralized Exchange) that would allow users not only to exchange cryptocurrencies but also to create their own trading pairs and even conduct ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings). This meant that we needed to develop a much more complex system that would include many components such as matching engine, escrow, multisig, and others.

One of the client's key requirements was ensuring high system security to prevent any possible attacks or data leaks. To achieve this, we needed to implement many security measures, including RNG (Random Number Generator), liquidity, and others. Additionally, the client wanted the system to be highly scalable and capable of processing a large number of transactions per second.

Already at this stage, we realized that developing such a project would require significant resources and time. However, we were ready to accept this challenge and create a high-quality DEX that would meet all the client's needs.

Why the Standard Solution Was Not Suitable

Standard solutions for cryptocurrency exchangers could not meet all the client's needs because they were designed for simple exchangers, not for full-fledged DEXs. Standard solutions could not provide the high security, scalability, and functionality required for a DEX.

Moreover, standard solutions often had limitations in terms of high-load and latency, meaning they could not process a large number of transactions per second. This was unacceptable for the client, as they wanted to create a system that could handle a large number of transactions without any issues.

We realized that we needed to develop a custom solution that would meet all the client's needs and have high security, scalability, and functionality.

Our Unconventional Approach

We decided to develop a custom solution that would include all the necessary components for a DEX. We created a backend that would handle all transactions and ensure high security and scalability. We also developed a frontend that would provide a user-friendly and intuitive interface for users.

We used technologies such as TON SDK and Solana Web3.js to ensure high security and scalability of the system. We also implemented Redis and PostgreSQL to ensure high performance and reliability.

Additionally, we developed a WebSocket system that would allow users to receive updates in real time. This was necessary to ensure high performance and scalability of the system.

Pitfalls

During project development, we encountered many pitfalls. One of the key problems was slippage, which could lead to significant losses for users. We solved this problem by developing a system that would automatically adjust the exchange rate.

Another problem was the order book, which needed to be highly scalable and provide fast transaction processing. We solved this problem using matching engine technology, which allowed us to quickly and efficiently process transactions.

We also faced the problem of no backdoors, which required us to ensure high system security and prevent any possible attacks or data leaks. We solved this problem by implementing many security measures, including RNG and multisig.

Results and Conclusions

As a result, we developed a custom DEX solution that met all the client's needs. The system provided high security, scalability, and functionality, and was capable of processing a large number of transactions per second.

We also added new components and technologies to the Mint Scripts Studio architectural core, which allowed us to create a high-quality DEX. We learned that creating such a project requires significant resources and time, but can also lead to high results.
