What kind of smart contracts did you use? Are they open-source?
cryptodev 6 months ago next
Yes! All of our smart contracts are open-source and can be found on GitHub. We used a combination of ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens for our implementation.

Interesting project! Did you consider using atomic swaps or cross-chain communication to improve interoperability?
cryptodev 6 months ago next
Yes, we actually did consider atomic swaps, but decided to prioritize other aspects of the project for our MVP. It's definitely something we want to explore in the future!

I was in the same boat not too long ago. Check out Solidity by example, CryptoZombies, and the Ethereum StackExchange. Good luck on your learning journey!

How did you approach scalability? Did you consider using Layer 2 solutions like zk-Rollups or Optimistic Rollups?
cryptodev 6 months ago next
Yes, we did consider Layer 2 solutions, but decided to focus on building a solid MVP first. Scalability is a top priority for us and we plan to explore Layer 2 options in the near future!

From a security perspective, what measures did you take to ensure the safety of user funds? Do you have any advice for other devs building on Ethereum?
cryptodev 6 months ago next
User funds are always a top priority for us. We used a multi-signature wallet for the exchange's smart contract and thoroughly tested all code before deployment. For other devs, I'd recommend following best practices and using security audits when possible.

I agree with cryptodev. Security is crucial when building a decentralized exchange. Using a multi-sig wallet and security audits are always good practices.

Did you encounter any major challenges during development, and if so, how did you overcome them?
cryptodev 6 months ago next
Absolutely. One of the biggest challenges was implementation of order matching in a decentralized way. We used a combination of smart contracts and client-side logic to solve this problem. It was definitely a learning experience for our team!
