Core Devs | Front Running Bot

Problem

Yash Paniker, the innovator behind Yakuza Inc., envisioned a revolutionary desktop application that integrates a sniper bot for efficient blockchain trading. His ambition was to create a platform that connects with Uniswap and uses Infura Node to access the blockchain, allowing users to execute trades based on specific parameters. Yash partnered with our team at Core Devs to turn his vision into reality.

Solution

Responding to Yash's unique requirements, our team at Core Devs Ltd. engineered the Front-running Bot desktop application. We constructed a user-friendly interface that simplifies the trading process, integrated a custom sniper bot with a subscription system, and utilized Cryptolens API for access control.

Leveraging the power of Ethereum Network via Infura Node, we facilitated real-time trade execution based on user-defined criteria. Critical user data was secured on the local machine through advanced encryption, and network communications were closely monitored to ensure security.

Challenges We Faced

Developing a desktop application presented several new challenges. Creating a custom sniper bot as a desktop app, instead of a web app or CLI bot, was a significant shift. Implementing a subscription system and ensuring robust access control using Cryptolens API also posed considerable challenges. Establishing secure, encrypted storage for critical user data on the local machine, while simultaneously maintaining network security, added complexity to the project. Despite these hurdles, our team remained steadfast and committed to delivering a secure and efficient trading application.

How We Solved Them

To meet these challenges, our team developed efficient solutions. We leveraged Electron and React for creating the desktop application, ensuring compatibility and performance. We utilized Cryptolens API to implement a robust subscription system and manage access control effectively. By leveraging the Ethereum Network via Infura Node, we allowed the bot to scan and identify trading opportunities. Security was prioritized through local machine encryption for user data storage and continuous monitoring of network communications.

Why We Choose This Tech Stack?

Choosing the right tech stack was crucial to achieving our goals. Electron and React were selected for desktop application development due to their flexibility and robustness. We used GraphQL and ExpressJS for efficient data handling and facilitating smooth communication between client and server.

CSS and HTML were used to design a user-friendly interface. For blockchain development, we utilized Web3, web3.js, and Ethereum, given their proven reliability and efficiency. Node.js was selected for its scalability and performance in handling asynchronous tasks.

More About the Design Process

Here is a short summary of how we completed the project, step by step:

Step 1: Designing the User Interface

First, we created a user-friendly interface for the blockchain trading application. Our goal was to ensure that the design was engaging and intuitive for users. Through wireframes and mockups, we showcased the layout, navigation flow, and visual elements of the application. We iteratively refined the design based on feedback and conducted usability testing to enhance the user experience.

Step 2: Backend Development

For the backend development of the application, we chose ExpressJS, a popular web application framework built on Node.js. Leveraging our expertise in backend development, we set up the server, defined the necessary endpoints, and implemented robust logic for handling user requests, authentication, and data processing. Additionally, we integrated the Cryptolens API for the subscription system, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Step 3: Blockchain Integration with Ethereum

To enable real-time trading on the blockchain, we utilized our proficiency in blockchain technology and integrated the Ethereum Network via Infura Node. Leveraging the Web3 and web3.js libraries, we enabled seamless interaction with the Ethereum blockchain.

This integration allowed the application to scan the mempool for liquidity addition events. We also developed smart contracts and implemented transaction handling mechanisms to execute trades based on predefined criteria.

Step 4: Frontend Development with Electron and React

As experts in frontend development, we chose Electron, a powerful framework for building cross-platform desktop applications, to create the user interface. We integrated React, a JavaScript library known for its flexibility in building user interfaces, to develop the frontend of the application.

By implementing the design elements from the UI design phase, we ensured a visually appealing and responsive frontend. Moreover, we seamlessly connected the frontend with the backend APIs, enabling data retrieval and facilitating smooth user interactions.

Step 5: Implementing Secure Data Storage

Security was a top priority for us during the development process. To ensure the confidentiality and privacy of critical user data, we implemented advanced encryption techniques. Our team developed a robust mechanism to securely store user data on the local machine, safeguarding it from unauthorized access. Through the incorporation of encryption and decryption mechanisms within the application's data management modules, we ensured a secure environment for data storage.

Step 6: Network Security and Communication Monitoring

At Core Devs Ltd., we understand the importance of secure network communications. To guarantee the security of data transmission between the application and external servers, we implemented encryption protocols.

Our team also incorporated continuous monitoring mechanisms to detect and prevent potential security breaches or unauthorized access attempts. Rigorous security audits and penetration testing were conducted to identify and address any vulnerabilities, ensuring the application's overall robustness.

Step 7: Testing and Quality Assurance

As part of our commitment to delivering high-quality software, we performed comprehensive testing throughout the development process. Our team conducted thorough unit testing, integration testing, and system testing to verify the correctness of the implemented features.

We ensured that the application's functionality, performance, and security were up to our standards by identifying and rectifying any bugs or issues. Valuable user feedback was also gathered through user acceptance testing, enabling us to refine and improve the application as necessary.

Step 8: Deployment and Release

Once the application passed through comprehensive testing and was deemed production-ready, we prepared it for deployment. We created installation packages compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux to ensure a seamless installation experience for users. The application was released, and we committed to ongoing maintenance, incorporating user feedback and delivering subsequent updates and bug fixes.

Throughout the entire development process, we maintained regular communication and collaboration with Yash Paniker, ensuring alignment with his vision. We embraced agile project management methodologies, enabling us to make efficient progress, deliver within the established timeline, and exceed expectations.
