🏗️ Architecture Overview

Comprehensive overview of the BLGV Bitcoin-native ecosystem architecture.

🎯 System Architecture​

📊 Database Architecture​

Multi-Schema Design​

-- Digital Ocean PostgreSQL Database
CREATE SCHEMA treasury;    -- Treasury platform data
CREATE SCHEMA dex;         -- DEX platform data  
CREATE SCHEMA pool;        -- Mining pool data
CREATE SCHEMA shared;      -- Cross-platform shared data

Schema Separation Benefits​

  • 🔒 Security: Platform isolation and access control
  • 📈 Scalability: Independent schema evolution
  • 🔧 Maintenance: Targeted backups and migrations
  • 🚀 Performance: Optimized queries per platform

Connection Patterns​

// Platform-specific connections
const treasuryDB = new Pool({
  connectionString: process.env.TREASURY_DATABASE_URL,
  searchPath: ['treasury', 'shared', 'public']
});

const dexDB = new Pool({
  connectionString: process.env.DEX_DATABASE_URL, 
  searchPath: ['dex', 'shared', 'public']
});

const poolDB = new Pool({
  connectionString: process.env.POOL_DATABASE_URL,
  searchPath: ['pool', 'shared', 'public']
});

🔌 API Architecture​

Unified API Gateway​

// Central API router
const app = express();

// Platform-specific routes
app.use('/treasury', treasuryRoutes);
app.use('/dex', dexRoutes);
app.use('/pool', poolRoutes);
app.use('/lsp', lspRoutes);

// Cross-platform routes
app.use('/sync', syncRoutes);
app.use('/auth', authRoutes);
app.use('/health', healthRoutes);

Platform-Specific APIs​

  • Treasury API: /treasury/* - Financial data and analytics
  • DEX API: /dex/* - Trading and market data
  • Pool API: /pool/* - Mining statistics and payouts
  • LSP API: /lsp/* - Lightning Network services

Authentication Flow​

📱 Mobile Architecture​

React Native + Expo Stack​

// App structure
src/
├── components/          # Reusable UI components
├── screens/            # Platform-specific screens
├── navigation/         # Navigation configuration
├── sdk/               # BLGV SDK integration
├── lib/               # Utilities and helpers
└── types/             # TypeScript definitions

SDK Integration​

import { MobileSDK } from '@blgv/ecosystem-sdk/mobile';

const sdk = new MobileSDK({
  environment: process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_ENVIRONMENT,
  apiBaseUrl: process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL,
  features: {
    treasury: true,
    dex: true,
    pool: true,
    lsp: true
  }
});

State Management​

  • Zustand: Lightweight state management
  • React Query: Server state and caching
  • AsyncStorage: Persistent local storage
  • Secure Store: Sensitive data encryption

⚡ Real-Time Architecture​

WebSocket Implementation​

Event-Driven Updates​

// Real-time event types
interface BLGVEvent {
  type: 'treasury' | 'dex' | 'pool' | 'lsp';
  action: 'update' | 'create' | 'delete';
  data: any;
  timestamp: string;
  userId?: string;
}

// WebSocket event handling
websocket.on('blgv:event', (event: BLGVEvent) => {
  switch (event.type) {
    case 'treasury':
      updateTreasuryData(event.data);
      break;
    case 'dex':
      updateTradingData(event.data);
      break;
    case 'pool':
      updateMiningData(event.data);
      break;
  }
});

🐳 Container Architecture​

🔐 Security Architecture​

Multi-Layer Security​

Environment Separation​

  • Development: Local regtest with test data
  • Staging: Production-like environment for testing
  • Production: Live Bitcoin mainnet with real funds

🤖 AI Integration Architecture​

🔄 Data Migration Strategy​

Neon to Digital Ocean Migration​

Migration Steps​

  1. 📊 Data Analysis: Audit current Neon database structure
  2. 🔄 Schema Mapping: Map Neon tables to DO multi-schema design
  3. 📤 Data Export: Extract all data with proper formatting
  4. 🧪 Test Migration: Validate data integrity in staging
  5. 🚀 Cutover: Switch production traffic to Digital Ocean
  6. 🔄 Sync Validation: Ensure no data loss during transition
