Data Management and Storage: The platform's data storage uses MongoDB, employing NoSQL JSON format to manage user information, transaction records, and token data. MongoDB has good scalability, supporting efficient querying and processing of large-scale data. Data backup and recovery are implemented through AWS S3, ensuring data security and availability.
CI/CD Integration: The development process utilizes Git and Docker for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). Automated testing is conducted in the Docker environment with each code update to ensure that no erroneous code is deployed to the production environment.
Efficient Database Query: The backend uses MongoDB for data storage, combined with index optimization and caching mechanisms to ensure fast data query responses. For frequently accessed data, the system uses Redis for caching to further improve query speed and reduce database pressure.
Event-Driven Architecture: Ultiland adopts an event-driven architecture, utilizing message queue systems such as Kafka or RabbitMQ to handle on-chain events and user operations. By employing asynchronous processing, it enhances the system's concurrent processing capability and overall performance.
4.3 On-chain Capabilities
The platform functions of Ultiland rely on a series of smart contracts running on the Solana blockchain (with future expansions to TON, Ethereum, etc.), which are responsible for handling operations such as token creation, management, and trading
SPL Token Smart Contract: Used to create and manage BOND tokens, ensuring the security and transparency of operations such as issuance, transfer, and burning of tokens. The SPL Token standard is Solana's native token standard, supporting efficient on-chain operations.
Bonding Curve Pricing Mechanism: The platform uses a Bonding Curve pricing mechanism based on the Sigmoid function, dynamically adjusting the price of BOND tokens through smart contracts. This mechanism ensures that the token price adjusts smoothly with changes in supply and demand, avoiding drastic price fluctuations.
Pledge and Lending Contracts: The pledge contract allows users to earn ARTX rewards by staking BOND and ARTX tokens, while the lending contract provides decentralized lending services. Users can use their assets as collateral to obtain loans while earning ARTY rewards. These contracts are written in Rust and executed through Solana's Native program, ensuring efficiency and security.
4.4 Data Processing and Analysis
The Ultiland platform collects various on-chain data in real-time through blockchain nodes, including user transaction records, token market performance, and on-chain contract calls.
The collected data is transmitted to the backend MongoDB database via API. MongoDB stores data in JSON format, supports large-scale concurrent queries and real-time updates, ensuring that users and administrators can quickly access the information they need.
The platform implements various data visualization tools, such as trading charts, candlestick charts, and market depth charts, to help users better understand market dynamics and personal asset performance. The dashboard provides detailed information on user asset overview, trading history, staking status, etc., making it convenient for users to manage their assets.
4.5 Security and Compliance
To ensure the security of the platform, Ultiland conducts a comprehensive security audit before the smart contract goes live, which includes third-party audits and community public audits.
After going live, the platform will continuously monitor the operating status of the smart contracts and conduct regular security audits and upgrades. The security team will also encourage community members to discover potential vulnerabilities through a bounty program, further enhancing the platform's security.
Ultiland strictly adheres to international compliance requirements, ensuring the legitimacy of platform users and the transparency of fund sources.
All user data is stored encrypted, and access is only granted to authorized operations. The platform complies with GDPR and other relevant data protection regulations, ensuring that users' privacy rights are fully respected and protected.
