In blockchain systems, every transaction requires a cryptographic signature produced by a private key, and whoever possesses those keys controls the associated assets. This means a single compromise can result in immediate, irreversible loss of funds. Traditional […]

In this post, we show how BSVA used AWS services to build a distributed node architecture that achieves 1 million TPS across six Regions. This solution demonstrates how organizations can implement cloud infrastructure to solve complex blockchain scaling challenges while maintaining system integrity.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) trading decisions require blockchain pricing and liquidity data. However, direct blockchain node queries are inefficient and resource-intensive creating a bottleneck for timely decision-making. Blockchains are not optimized for efficient data queries, with data being stored sequentially (block by block). Retrieving specific information often requires scanning the entire blockchain. Indexers offer a solution to […]

In this post, we share how Derive successfully scaled their hybrid decentralized trading platform to achieve billions of dollars in trading volume and low-latency execution by using a robust compute and database infrastructure, using AWS Graviton on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and Amazon Aurora. We explore Derive’s hybrid exchange model and how AWS played a crucial role in their growth and scalability.
