Day 13 of BUILD IN PUBLIC

Day 13 — From Features to Live Infrastructure

Today’s focus was shifting the platform closer to real-world readiness.

What shipped:

API security hardening with rate limiting and Helmet

Migrated waitlist to MongoDB for real persistence

Implemented global search across the dashboard

Enabled mainnet crypto payments

Added on-chain verification using Alchemy

These aren’t flashy updates, but they matter.

A Web3 platform isn’t credible because it looks good.
It’s credible when transactions are verifiable and systems are secure.

That’s the layer I’m building now.

Still early in the journey,
but each day the system gets more real.

Building in public.
