THE PROBLEM
The client needed a production-ready crypto exchange.
Building a crypto exchange from scratch means solving four hard problems simultaneously — any one of which can sink the launch if done poorly.
High-speed trading engine
Liquidity integration
Secure wallet infrastructure
Admin control system
THE SOLUTION
We designed and built.
Four core components engineered from the ground up for production scale, security, and performance.
01
Low latency
Custom trading engine
Purpose-built matching engine in Node.js with sub-millisecond order matching, WebSocket streaming for real-time updates, and horizontal scalability for peak trading loads.
02
Deep order books
Liquidity provider integration
Integrated multiple liquidity providers via FIX and REST APIs. Smart order routing ensures best execution prices across connected venues, with fallback and redundancy built in.
03
Hot + cold architecture
Secure wallet system
Multi-signature wallet system with hardware security module (HSM) integration for cold storage. Hot wallet limits, automated rebalancing, and full audit trail for every transaction.
04
Built for 10K+ users
Scalable backend
Microservices architecture on AWS with auto-scaling, Redis caching for hot data, PostgreSQL for transactional integrity, and comprehensive monitoring across every service.
