Business Needs
Understanding your business needs, one solution at a time.
Complicated User Experience
Lack of Earning & Conversion Opportunities
Weak User Retention
Defining The Problem
We get into all the ins and outs of our client’s problem.
- Our client, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) innovator specializing in blockchain solutions, struggled to create a platform that met the growing demand for intuitive, all-in-one DeFi services, despite their advanced expertise in communication protocols and blockchain development.
- They faced many challenges in implementing essential functionalities, including allowing seamless token trading, simplifying portfolio management, and ensuring smooth fiat-to-crypto conversions for a better user experience.
- They also faced challenges in building strong user engagement, particularly in designing incentive programs that could attract a wider audience, encourage long-term usage, and foster trust within the DeFi ecosystem.

Engagement-Driven Incentive Program
Understanding The Need
We innovate while keeping people's needs in mind.
- To address the challenges, LibFi required a scalable and high-performance DeFi platform that integrated advanced trading, portfolio management, and earning features, while ensuring secure transactions and optimizing user engagement through a robust incentive program.
- To build such a platform, LibFi needed expert architectural planning, backend and frontend development, and system optimization to ensure both functionality and scalability.
- The goal was to deliver a seamless, user-friendly platform that could effectively meet the demands of the DeFi market and improve user retention.
What Zealous Proposed ?
Research. Understood. Proposed.
Architecture & Backend Development
We suggested a scalable architecture with NodeJS for fast, secure processing and Redis & MongoDB for efficient data handling in trading, staking, and portfolios.
Frontend Development & User Experience
Our team used ReactJS to create a simple interface for trading, tracking portfolios, and joining the incentive Program, ensuring a smooth user experience.
Performance Optimization & Scalability
To improve performance, we used Redis for faster data access, optimized database queries to reduce delays, and containerized the app with Docker and RabbitMQ.
The Journey
-
1
Client Briefing
We held detailed discussions to capture functional and non-functional requirements, aligning with business goals and identifying key performance indicators.
-
2
Requirement Analysis
Our team evaluated the client’s needs, reviewed existing systems, and outlined the project scope, key deliverables, and system improvements.
-
3
Development
Using an agile approach, we built core modules with NodeJS, ReactJS, MongoDB, and Redis, implemented automation, and set up CI/CD pipelines for smooth releases.
-
4
Testing
We conducted functional, load, and security testing, combining automated and manual methods to ensure stability, scalability, and vulnerability protection.
-
5
Deployment
The platform was containerized with Docker, deployed with minimal downtime, and monitored post-launch for seamless integration and real-time issue resolution.
The fight was tough but so fun to crack!
This journey involved overcoming key challenges such as designing a scalable system for high-frequency blockchain transactions and creating a user-friendly interface for complex DeFi features. We also focused on backend optimization, system security, and migration to ensure performance, reliability, and future growth.
- One of the biggest hurdles was designing a scalable system to handle high-frequency blockchain transactions. It took careful planning to balance performance, reliability, and future growth. We also needed to understand blockchain’s mechanics to ensure smooth integration.
- Creating a simple, user-friendly interface for complex DeFi features was another challenge. The onboarding flow for users was particularly complex, involving multiple steps to ensure they understood each function.
- Securing staking and liquidity pooling systems was crucial.To illustrate the performance and growth of these systems, we created multiple graphs that display volume and Total Value Locked (TVL), effectively showcasing the evolution of these metrics over time.
- We aimed to make the user experience easy while keeping all the necessary functions.
- We also migrated the entire backend from NoSQL(MongoDB) to SQL(PostgreSQL) as per the client requirement.
- Finally, optimizing the backend to handle real-time data and high user engagement was tough. We worked to improve performance and scalability so the platform could handle high traffic while staying fast and responsive.

From day-1 Pranjal and his team have been very good at delivering quality work on time to budget. They are dynamic, if resources need to be shuffled around depending on what work needs to be done.
