The team of blockbank had a great vision towards how their app would look from UI/UX perspective and user flow. But in order to quickly launch the app and acquire users they needed particular standard features which require lots of time and effort to implement.
Solution
As an alternative to building from scratch, blockbank approached Bitlocus for the following:
- crypto wallet and transfers infrastructure (Fireblocks and some direct chain integrations)
- fiat on- and off- ramps for users to deposit/withdraw fiat currencies (EUR, GBP, USD etc)
- KYC/AML services
- listing of major markets, liquidity and matching engine
- staff members backing crypto exchange and app business (compliance, tech/developers, account managers)
- license
This was done by integrating a single Bitlocus API, without overheads, multiple tools and managing multiple suppliers. The process is so simple that even a junior developer can set the whole platform up.
Time to launch
With Bitlocus, blockbank was able to cut down their product development roadmap to 2 months instead of the usual 6-9 months. Short launch time is crucial to test and implement the business idea as quickly as possible in the current ever-changing environment.
Cost
Integrating many providers, hiring additional staff members and getting the license with the help of paid consultants usually mean the expenses go out-of-control too fast too soon. Paying only one monthly bundled fee for Crypto-as-a-Service is both cheaper and easier to control.
Monthly fee
The monthly fee covers:
- Technical support and 2nd level support
- Crypto wallet infrastructure costs
- Crypto wallet security and a custodial insurance of up to $30mn
- Banking infrastructure fees
- Compliance officer
- IT infrastructure costs
- KYC/AML services
- Legally required on-demand and regular checks
