Fairdesk Optimizes Operations and Reduces Costs with QuickNode

Fairdesk is a derivatives exchange that is committed to building the fastest, most secure product on the market. They support several chains, including BTC, Ethererun, BSC, LTC, Doge, and Tron. Fairdesk is dedicated to providing a smooth and fast experience for their clients, particularly in terms of fund deposit and withdrawal. However, they faced challenges in maintaining their BSC infrastructure, which was consuming significant resources and leading to high operational costs. To overcome these challenges and improve their service, Fairdesk turned to QuickNode Cloud.

Fairdesk, a derivatives exchange, was striving to build the fastest, most secure product in the market. They had the support of several chains including BTC, Ethererun, BSC, LTC, Doge, and Tron. However, maintaining the BSC infrastructure proved to be a significant challenge. The full node was filling disk space at tens of Gigabytes per day, leading to heavy disk reads and writes. This situation required constant engineering cycles, which were being spent daily on maintaining the BSC infrastructure. This not only diverted resources from core product development but also led to high operational costs, with spending reaching $2000 at AWS.

Fairdesk turned to QuickNode Cloud to overcome their infrastructure challenges. QuickNode Cloud provided a reliable solution that allowed Fairdesk to build and operate without worrying about their infrastructure. The solution ensured that Fairdesk's endpoints could handle the tremendous amount of traffic their platform produced. As a result, Fairdesk was able to focus more on developing their core product and less on managing their node infrastructure. The cost of the solution was also significantly lower, with spending dropping from $2000 at AWS to $399 a month on QuickNode. QuickNode's support for multiple chains, including Ethereum and Solana, and its multi-cloud, highly-available, globally distributed network, provided additional benefits. Fairdesk's clients also benefited from the transformation, experiencing smooth and consistently fast fund deposit and withdrawal via the BSC chain. After seeing the results QuickNode delivered for the BSC chain, Fairdesk migrated the Ethereum chain to QuickNode and planned to move more chains over from their in-house solution to QuickNode Cloud.

• The adoption of QuickNode Cloud has brought about significant operational improvements for Fairdesk. They no longer have to spend constant engineering cycles on maintaining their BSC infrastructure, freeing up resources for core product development. The reliability of QuickNode's solution has also eliminated worries about infrastructure management, allowing Fairdesk to focus on their primary goal of building the fastest, most secure product on the market. The lower cost of the solution has resulted in significant savings, further enhancing operational efficiency. Moreover, the smooth and fast fund deposit and withdrawal experience has improved client satisfaction. The success with the BSC chain has led Fairdesk to migrate the Ethereum chain to QuickNode and plan to move more chains over, indicating their trust and satisfaction with QuickNode's solution.
