Stoken

Stoken is a solution that provides easy integration for companies to accept cryptocurrencies. While the idea is very simple, it has a very complex architecture under the hood. Because of the large data of the blockchain, scalability has had to be a key point in the architecture. All the services are stateless and scale easily. The back end is written in C#, working on .NET Core. Git is used as a version control system. PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and some native blockchain databases are used to store and retrieve data.
