Faster, Smoother, Sharper: Aark’s Infrastructure Overhaul

Alright, folks,
We’ve been busy. You’ve been giving us feedback, and we’ve been listening — and then getting our hands dirty in the codebase. We’ve just rolled out a significant overhaul to our backend (BE) server architecture and made some slick improvements to the UI/UX.

This isn’t just about tweaking a few buttons. These are core changes designed to make AARK faster, more reliable, and more transparent. Here’s the rundown: what we did, why we did it, and what it means for you.

1. The Engine Room: Major Backend Revamp

The backend is where on-chain transactions happen. Our old setup was functional, but “functional” isn’t good enough.

What Was: The Old Way
Previously, requests were acknowledged and processed in time-based batches. That meant requests could get missed or delayed — frustrating, we know.

What Is: The Smart New System

• Intelligent Request Queue
  Think of it as an efficient traffic controller for your trades. It batches and processes transactions based on optimal timing for each chain’s block state.
• Built for Multichain
  Designed to work smoothly even on slower blockchains, this revamp makes AARK ready for multichain expansion.
• Speed & Reliability Gains
  The average delay from request to confirmation is down by over 20%, and annoying outliers — like totally missed or severely delayed requests — are drastically reduced.

2. What You’ll See: Better UI/UX

A faster backend is great, but you should also feel it.

• Immediate Feedback
  Your request now appears in your position list right away. No more wondering if it worked.
• Live Progress Tracking
  Price fetching, transaction sending, confirmation — it’s all updated in real-time, giving you full visibility into every step.

3. We Mess Up, We Fix It, We Learn

No system is perfect. We recently experienced a blackout and a few glitches. Here’s how we handled it:

• Rapid Response
  We investigated root causes and resolved them immediately. Impacted users were compensated.
• We Value Your Feedback
  Your bug reports and feedback help us improve. Seriously, we rely on it.

What’s Next — and Your Two Cents

This upgrade is a big milestone, but we’re not done. More improvements and new features are on the way.
