The biggest challenge was handling the load and maintaining speed as the user base grew. We had to use a combination of load balancing and caching techniques.

What kind of security countermeasures did you have to implement to secure transactions and user data in the blockchain? And how did you tackle regulatory compliance?

Security measures included continuous penetration tests and security audits on smart contracts. We have also implemented state-of-the-art encryption methods and a dedicated multisig wallet system. For regulatory compliance, we hired a specialized legal team in parallel to the development process.
