Patel said, “The above was our maker system hosted on AWS. Our entire checker system is intentionally set up separately on Azure to make sure system performance is separated. The checker system is built on top of the ELK stack. We have also worked on costs and at our scale and level of computing, monthly tech costs are now ~5k (down from 10k 8 months ago).” Road ahead “We want to grow 20 times in the next 12 months. Our product is ready and so is our core business and now we want to build strong distribution pipelines and complementary products to create lasting moats. There is already a lot of demand, but we have been unable to fulfil it because of resource constraints. This is why most of our capital is earmarked for building a larger team. Over the next five years, asset management in crypto will become an annual $10 billion business. We plan to capture a significant portion of it,” said Patel.
