In 2025, fintech adoption skyrocketed as apps rushed to add BTC features. This growth exposed a fatal flaw: most infrastructure models weren’t ready to handle that level of load.
A payment-app founder I know learned this the hard way, when a successful reward campaign triggered a sharp 10x surge in active users. It was a big W for the marketing team, but a disaster for devs - because their backend layer started to collapse.
At that critical moment, they stood at a crossroads with 2 paths:
🔴 Path 1: The "Patch & Pray" Approach. They could try to salvage their legacy system, sentencing the dev team to endless maintenance cycles and sleepless nights fixing critical bugs, which would slow down the roadmap to patch a dam that was already bursting.
🟢 Path 2: The Infrastructure Pivot. They could re-architect the backend using WhiteBIT’s Wallet-as-a-Service. This path offered more than just a fix - it promised instant app stability, lightning-fast deposits and withdrawals, turning their infrastructure into a limitless engine for growth.
The choice was obvious. By integrating WaaS, they seamlessly upgraded their platform, optimized performance, and gave the dev team their weekends back.
