Did you ever consider using other platforms like Cardano or Solana for better scalability?

While we did evaluate other platforms for scalability, Ethereum's dominance and support made us stick to our decision. We implemented several security measures and partnered with cloud providers to handle DDoS attacks.

To handle DDoS attacks, we implemented rate limiting, utilized third-party DDoS protection, and load-balanced our infrastructure. It was a constant battle, and we learned quite a bit.
