Trading dashboard and backend services for an AI crypto trading platform.

Techtribe completed two fixed engagements for Blackalgo in autumn 2023, delivering full-stack work on a real-time crypto trading dashboard and backend services. Both contracts closed on time and were rated 5.0.

What challenge did Blackalgo need to solve?

Blackalgo is an AI platform for automated BTC and ETH trading: self-optimising strategies, copy-trading with adjustable risk, tiered risk modes, and a dashboard that has to show live PnL, trade execution and signal performance without lag. The founder, who we'd already worked with for a year on Qoves, needed difficult full-stack work done quickly and reliably.

What did Techtribe build for Blackalgo?

Two fixed engagements in autumn 2023, around 150 hours in total, focused on the parts that were hardest to get right:

Real-time dashboard. React and Redux front end consuming live trade data over WebSocket streams, with rate-limiting and queue prioritisation so the UI stays responsive under bursts of exchange data.

Backend services. Node.js and Express services on MySQL, structured so high-frequency transaction handling could scale out, with Stripe for subscription tiers and trading-credit purchases.

Security posture. A non-custodial architecture: users keep control of their funds; the platform holds strategy and signals, not assets.

What were the results?

Both contracts closed on time and rated 5.0, with the client's summary being the one we'd put on a business card: "our go-to for getting difficult work done." Blackalgo is the smaller sibling of the Qoves engagement and a good example of the Basic MVP shape: tight scope, fixed price, shipped in weeks.
