Architecture

This document provides an overview of VolumeCheck's technical architecture, detailing the components and their interactions.

Architecture Overview

VolumeCheck follows a modern web application architecture using Next.js as the core framework. The application is built with a focus on real-time data display and interaction.

Key Components

Frontend

• Next.js: The application uses Next.js for server-side rendering and API routes

• UI Components: Built with Shadcn UI components and Tailwind CSS

• State Management: Uses React's built-in hooks for state management

• Data Fetching: Utilizes SWR for data fetching with built-in caching and revalidation

Backend

• API Routes: Next.js API routes serve as the backend endpoints

• Database Access: Prisma ORM handles database interactions

• Authentication: (If applicable) Describe authentication method

• Data Processing: Backend logic for processing and aggregating token data

Database

• PostgreSQL: Primary database for storing token data

• Schema: Normalized schema for efficient storage and retrieval

• Indexes: Optimized indexes for quick search operations

Data Flow

1. Data Collection: Blockchain data is collected and processed (via external services or scripts)

2. Data Storage: Processed data is stored in the PostgreSQL database

3. API Endpoints: Next.js API routes expose this data through REST endpoints

4. Frontend Consumption: The frontend fetches data from these endpoints and displays it

5. User Interaction: Users interact with the data through the UI, triggering additional data fetching as needed

Component Interactions

The following diagram illustrates how components interact within the application:

Scalability Considerations

VolumeCheck is designed with scalability in mind:

• Data Fetching Strategy: Uses SWR for efficient cache management and revalidation

• API Optimization: Endpoints are designed to return only necessary data

• Database Indexing: Critical fields are indexed for quick lookup

• Connection Pooling: Database connections are pooled for efficient resource usage

Security Aspects

The application implements several security best practices:

• Input Validation: All user inputs are validated before processing

• Rate Limiting: API endpoints are rate-limited to prevent abuse

• Environment Variables: Sensitive configuration is stored in environment variables

• CORS Configuration: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing is properly configured
