How the Platform Works
Three simple layers: public market data, a secure account service, and the dashboard that brings them together
Market Data Layer
Prices for the top 20 coins by market cap are requested from a public market-data API whenever you open or refresh the markets view.
- Current price and 24h change
- Market-cap ranking
- 7-day price sparkline
Account Service
A dedicated API stores your profile, transactions, and notifications in a managed database, separate from public market data.
- Email verification codes
- Hashed passwords
- Rate-limited sign-in
- Token-based sessions
Your Dashboard
A fast web app brings markets and your account together on any screen size, with no download needed.
- Works on desktop and mobile
- Live markets view
- Activity and alerts
Our Approach
Market data and personal data are kept apart: prices come from a public source and are shown as reported, while your account information stays in our own service behind sign-in. That separation keeps the numbers honest and your data private.
Built to Protect Your Account
Practical safeguards that are switched on for every account from day one
Email Verification
New accounts confirm their email with a one-time code before the account is fully set up.
Hashed Passwords
Passwords are hashed with bcrypt before storage. We never store or display your password in plain text.
Rate Limiting
Sign-in, registration, and password-reset requests are rate-limited to slow down automated guessing.
Signed Sessions
After you log in, each request is authorised with a signed, expiring token rather than your password.
Input Validation
Every form submission is validated on the server before anything is saved.
Clear Records
Account events are stored with timestamps, so your history is complete and easy to review.
Where Our Numbers Come From
Every figure on the platform has a clear origin
Market Prices
Price, 24h change, and market capitalisation for each tracked coin, from the CoinGecko public API.
- Top 20 by market cap
- Prices in USD
- Read-only data
7-Day Trends
Hourly price points over the last seven days, drawn as a sparkline next to every coin.
- Rolling 7-day window
- Green for up, red for down
- Same source as prices
Account Data
Your profile, balance, and transaction history live in our own database and are only shown to you.
- Profile and settings
- Transaction history
- Requires sign-in
Notifications
Messages created when something happens on your account, such as a security change or a new transaction.
- Security alerts
- Account updates
- Read / unread status
