US-based startup Remaster wanted to improve its existing product for trading & owning digital assets. It had issues such as low throughput and high processing times for licenses. The product needed a KYC system to comply with security & regulatory requirements and a secure, reliable payment system to allow real-time & smooth transactions.

Remaster chose Gophers Lab as its development partner to enhance the product. Gophers Lab redeveloped the licensing system in Golang to improve the throughput and reduce the processing time by three times. A secure & encrypted KYC system was built to ensure compliance with the US regulations and avoid data breaches. Additionally, Gophers Lab developed a modern API for Remaster to help businesses securely and seamlessly connect to the US payment networks.

Customer Challenges

The Remaster team needed some help with the current product. They were looking to solve the following problems:

• The existing automatic licensing system had a complex codebase. It was slow, with the processing time for a single license being about 7-8 seconds. Hence, achieving high throughput took a lot of work, consuming way more resources, which was not feasible and maintainable.
• The product needed a structured system to meet US regulations. The client wanted to build a well-planned, secure, and encrypted KYC system to avoid regulatory issues and data breaches.
• Remaster was looking to build a secure and reliable payment system for the product to support Automated Clearing House (ACH). The client wanted to transfer fiat from one bank to another with real-time events, allowing smooth transactions for business and individual owners.
