What they say about us:
“Ethical Devs is the best team we’ve worked with. They communicate and articulate themselves well and are fast learners. They make sure that they have an understanding of the project or update, and always ask questions if they are not sure of something. They are excellent Java coders in both semantics and structuring the project in a clean and modular way. They’re always reliable and I’ve never had any issues working with them, I hope to continue to work with them. Don’t hesitate to work with them!”
CEO, BloxFlip
Working Together
Revamping Bloxflip is an ongoing project. We are responsible for revamping their back end by making it more performant and secure. We put transparent communication at the center of our collaboration and this resulted in a top-notch product with a smooth user experience.
Challenges and Solutions
Challenge 1: Multiple payment methods
The client wanted to add multiple payment methods. The most challenging methods to implement were crypto payments and gift card payments. They were challenging because of some implementation restrictions required by their APIs.
Solution:
We used Coinbase third party API for crypto deposits and Paygarden API for gift cards deposit. We implemented a process that made sure that a user’s account is credited only when a successful deposit is detected.
Challenge 2: Admins Audit
The Bloxflip website has an admin panel used to ensure users respect the website’s rules. We were to create a feature that keeps track of critical actions carried out by an admin like banning a user, muting a user etc. This feature was challenging because there were many possible actions that could be carried out by an admin.
Solution:
We are not afraid of complex tasks. We believe team collaboration always leads to the best solutions. We had a brainstorming meeting with the development team and the CTO and in the end, we came up with the best audit log schema to save the least amount of data while getting the most insights into all administrators’ actions.
Key features
Below are some of the key features we implemented in Bloxflip.
- Affiliate Sign Up: Enable users to be able to refer others. Both the referrer and the referee earn robux after Sign up process is completed.
- Strong Fraud Check: Every platform that handles monetary transactions should have a fraud check system. We implemented a number of processes to.
- Multiple Game Modes: There are currently six modes supported by Bloxflip. Each mode was developed to provide the best experience to players.
You can have this too!
We believe fast, secured, and beautiful Web applications should not be available to multi-million dollar companies only. We want to make it possible for businesses like yours to own applications as complex and performant as Bloxflip.
