Scalable, Secure Wallet Solutions with AWS for Growing Crypto Platform
Antier Solutions helped a wallet service platform enhance scalability and security, resulting in improved performance, reduced costs, and seamless transaction operations on AWS.
Client Overview
The client is a rapidly expanding platform that offers a centralized wallet service, enabling seamless trading, deposits, withdrawals, and token swapping. As the platform's user base and range of wallet services grew exponentially, it encountered critical infrastructure challenges that hindered its ability to scale effectively and maintain optimal performance.

Need Assessment
The client faced scalability issues, slow wallet operations, high infrastructure costs, complex management, and security concerns, which hindered performance and increased operational challenges.
Scalability Issues
The client's infrastructure struggled to scale effectively during periods of high transaction volumes and wallet activities, leading to delays in transactions, wallet synchronization issues, and slow wallet operations (such as deposits, withdrawals, and token swaps).
High Infrastructure Costs
Inefficient resource management for managing wallet services caused rising operational expenses due to on-premises servers and existing cloud service providers.
Infrastructure Challenges
The client's team faced challenges managing wallet infrastructure, including blockchain nodes and transaction histories, leading to high time spent on updates and maintenance.
Security and Compliance
Safeguarding wallet data and transactions, ensuring customer data protection, and adhering to strict industry compliance standards were top concerns.
Recommendation
To address the wallet service challenges and enhance scalability, security, and cost-efficiency, we recommended leveraging AWS services for a scalable, secure, and cost-effective infrastructure:
AWS ECS Service
ECS with AWS Auto Scaling ensures scalability during high demand. This is critical for scaling wallet-related services like transaction processing, wallet synchronization, and token swapping operations.
AWS RDS Service
Using Amazon RDS to manage wallet-related transactional databases improves performance and reduces the operational burden of managing these databases manually.
AWS S3 Service
Amazon S3 for storing wallet backups, transaction histories, and sensitive customer wallet data with secure access control policies and encryption.
AWS Lambda Service
AWS Lambda for executing event-driven wallet operations (such as transaction confirmations and notifications) in a cost-effective, serverless manner to reduce infrastructure load.
AWS CloudWatch Service
AWS CloudWatch for real-time monitoring and alerting on wallet transaction performance, blockchain synchronization, and wallet system health.
AWS EC2 Service
EC2 instances for running Dockerized wallet services, including PHPMyAdmin, Kafka, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Vault Cluster for secure wallet storage and management.
Actions Taken
The blockchain game development company implemented advanced security measures, cloud-based infrastructure, multiple payment options, and researched global gambling regulations and worked closely with legal experts to ensure compliance at every stage.
Infrastructure
Audit
Identified inefficiencies and security risks in the client's wallet service infrastructure.
Architecting the Solution
Built a secure, scalable wallet-centric cloud setup with AWS best practices.
Automation
Enabled automatic scaling and deployment via AWS CodePipeline for handling transaction peaks.
Security Enhancements
Applied IAM, WAF, and KMS to protect data and meet security standards.
Training
Provided documentation and hands-on sessions for the client’s team on the new AWS environment.
Solutions Provided
We recommended and implemented a cloud infrastructure based on AWS services, following an in-depth analysis of their existing setup. This included:
AWS ECS with Auto Scaling for transaction processing scalability
Amazon RDS for efficient database management
Amazon S3 for secure data storage
AWS Lambda for event-driven tasks
AWS EC2 for Dockerized wallet services
AWS CloudWatch for real-time monitoring.
Solution Architecture
Results and Success
By migrating to AWS and optimizing the infrastructure, the client’s platform achieved significant improvements in performance, scalability, and security. The containerized environment enabled automatic scaling, leading to efficient resource usage and reduced overall costs. The automation of development and deployment processes resulted in faster updates and a reduced time-to-market.
