Graft project

Graft Network was a cryptocurrency technology built for the retail industry. Traditional blockchain-based currencies, even being perfect technically, suffer from the issues, that make their use in retail virtually impossible; these are long transaction time and high fees. Graft aimed to make paying with cryptocurrency as straightforward as using a credit card or mobile wallet and with no fees to the users. We joined the Graft development at a later stage, when core of the system was already made and they needed to build the primary feature of the whole project, real time authorization, and all the infrastructure, establish user and technical support and initiate development and integration payment terminals of two biggest terminals producers, Verifone and Ingenico, as well as to integrate to/with number of commerce applications like Shopify, Woocommerce etc.

HiTech Service engineers provided quality assurance services for staging and deployment, maintaining production environment, making it reliable, fast and safe, dealing with possible malfunctions, ddos attacks etc so that end users, miners and potential customers were not affected. Devops were responsible for automating development processes, deployment etc. All the components, including main network, ICO site and related services, Android and iOS mobile applications, miners, documentations and instructions went through pre-defined and arranged with all participants procedures. Terminal development was another story, involving design, planning, development and maintaining highly specific kind of software running on regular payment terminals, like Verifone Carbon or Ingenico Desk/5000 and similar ones and the software to manage the terminals from a cloud application, which allows establishing a completely new business model in cryptocurrency world, so called “service providers”. The applications were built for the Verifone and Ingenico app stores as just another payment option, giving merchants and service providers a quick way to start accepting Graft payments. The Graft team developed a REST API for third-party developers who want to integrate their software, presumably point of sales, to Graft network and give all the features Graft provides. The API was an essential part of the system and was covered by QA and support, like all other components.
