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.
