Client Overview

Apillon is a Web3 development platform designed for developers and businesses looking to build on Web3. By consolidating unified API endpoints, Apillon simplifies the integration of Polkadot parachains into standard development workflows, allowing users to leverage their preferred technology stacks with ease. The platform provides a unique set of tools, extensive SDKs, and comprehensive documentation to support users in creating Web3-based products from the ground up.

The Challenge

Researching and Abstracting Multiple Polkadot Parachains into Full-Fledged Services

Apillon faced several challenges in developing its Web3 platform:

• Processing thousands of transactions daily for customers.
• Researching and integrating multiple unique parachains into comprehensive services.
• Scaling to handle thousands of API requests efficiently.
• Delivering a seamless user experience to make Web3 accessible to a broader audience.
• Real-time indexing of multiple blockchains.
• Designing a scalable architecture to accommodate growth.
• Developing generic smart contracts configurable by end users.
• Providing full technical support to Apillon's product team.
• Creating services capable of handling high data throughput.
• Managing platform administration effectively.

Our Approach & Web3 Tech Stack

Given the scope and technical demands of Apillon’s project, we worked closely with their team as their core development unit, including offering fractional CTO services. Due to the heavy R&D required for new parachains, we allocated multiple senior developers and blockchain specialists to the project.
