The problem Spheroid solves

Who doesn’t love the ease and simplicity of using Stripe/Revolut for payments? Now imagine, if we say we brought the same experience to web3. Yes, that’s what Spheroid is all about, a simple Payment 3.0 platform, combining onchain payments with a loyalty distribution system, bridging the best of web2 to web3 and making every transaction more rewarding.

Challenges I ran into

Challenges I ran Into :-

  • Gas Sponsorship Delays

Issue: Coinbase Paymaster relayers queued during peak traffic, delaying transactions.

Fix: Added retry logic with exponential backoff and a fallback relayer.

  • Indexing Latency

Issue: Curvegrid event indexing lagged (2–3 min), slowing loyalty token distribution.

Fix: Filtered for relevant events and parallelized webhook handlers, cutting latency to <30 s.

  • Wallet Connection Timeouts

Issue: Safari mobile blocked Dynamic.xyz’s non‑pop‑up flow.

Fix: Implemented browser detection with a pop‑up fallback for incompatible browsers.

  • Notification Ordering

Issue: Push Protocol webhooks delivered duplicates or out‑of‑order messages.

Fix: Used idempotency keys and sequence checks to enforce single, ordered processing

  • Hook Execution Failures

Issue: Sign Protocol hooks failed when on‑chain prerequisites were missing.

Fix: Built pre‑hook validation and retry queuing for unmet prerequisites.

These solutions ensure Spheroid remains reliable and user‑friendly even under Web3’s real‑world edge cases.
