Technology Stack

Considering many facts from performance to security we spend a lot of time choosing the right technology and securing the bits and pieces of the entire application. Also we spend quite a lot of time in making this easy to deploy and get up and running in less than a few minutes with your specification and requirements. Sounds good, right? Cool, lets walk trough the steps.

1. Application

We use the latest stable version of Node.js for the application with Express 4 features comes with it. Many more available as plugins. We also made sure that most of the known issues are patched and available for auditing.

2. Database

We have chosen the most comfortable database to use with this platform which is Mongodb. Mongodb is famous for its scalability and performance. You never know when are you going to hit your hardware limit, using a NOSQL database like Mongodb makes it easy for you to scale horizontally in no time.

3. Security

Security best practices for Express applications in production include:

  • Don’t use deprecated or vulnerable versions of Express
  • Use TLS
  • Use Helmet
  • Use cookies securely
  • Ensure your dependencies are secure
  • Avoid other known vulnerabilities
  • Additional considerations

Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure the connection and the data. This technology encrypts data before it is sent from the client to the server, thus preventing some common (and easy) hacks. Although Ajax and POST requests might not be visibly obvious and seem hidden in browsers, their network traffic is vulnerable to packet sniffing and man-in-the-middle attacks.

4. Payment processor

We have multiple methods for accepting the incoming investments, we accept BTC and ETH through independent channels and all the well known crypto assets through ShapeShift including your other favourite ERC20 Token (transferrable and supported in ShapeShift)

5. Solidity Contract

Our platform as it is supports an ERC20 token based on OpenZeppelin/zeppelin-solidity which is so far the state of the art in the industry.
