Case Study

Institutional Digital Assets Dashboard

A dashboard for custody-managed transfers, staking, and yield strategies with return projections and live updates.

Client overview

Modern office building with greenery integrated into its architecture, representing an institutional technology environment.

The client operates a regulated digital assets platform that provides custody, staking, and yield products to institutional users. Its infrastructure supports on-chain and off-chain asset operations across multiple blockchain networks. With strict compliance requirements and growing product demand, the client needed an operational console that could unify asset lifecycle management for custody and treasury teams.

Project details

Operational Complexity

Operations staff managed custody transfers, staking placements, and yield strategies through fragmented tools. Each action required manual effort, lacked realtime visibility, and carried reconciliation risk – slowing turnaround and increasing the chance of errors in a regulated environment.

A Unified Operations Console

The goal was to build a single web dashboard that orchestrates custody transfers, staking, and yield operations – with built-in return projections using APR and APY, realtime status updates via WebSocket, and full audit trails for compliance.

How we did it

Discovery & Domain Modelling

We mapped the asset lifecycle across custody, staking, and yield domains. Working with custody and blockchain specialists, we defined bounded contexts, key entities, and the orchestration flows that would drive the dashboard.

Front End Development

We built the dashboard in React with TypeScript, using a Material Design component library and Storybook for visual review. Client-side state management and a data-fetching layer kept the interface responsive, while Jest and React Testing Library ensured quality.

Back End & Microservices Architecture

We developed multiple domain microservices in Node.js with TypeScript: a custody adapter, staking orchestrator, yield manager, settlement service, notification service, and an API facade — all containerised with Docker and backed by PostgreSQL.

Realtime Updates & Integrations

We implemented WebSocket channels for live job status, transfer progress, and notifications. The platform integrated with custody APIs, blockchain node infrastructure, and ledger systems for reconciliation and balance checks.

DevOps, Testing & Operational Readiness

We set up CI/CD pipelines with automated build, test, and security stages. Observability covered logs, metrics, distributed tracing, and alerts for failed transfers or reconciliation drift. Runbooks documented incident response procedures.
