## Overview

LivLive brings the Pokémon GO experience to everyday life with RWAs, the only RWA platform with a global, immersive AR reward engine. $2M+ raised through the product.

## What's the challenge?

Zero codebase, zero infrastructure, six weeks. Scope: a multi-level on-chain referral system, fiat-to-chain NFT drops via Wert.io, crypto payments via NOWPayments, a full DApp checkout, and the observability to run real money through it.

## What call did we make?

### Drop-based marketing meant the checkout had to absorb spikes, not flatten under them.

> LivLive's go-to-market was drop-based. When a drop went live, the checkout saw hours-long traffic peaks against a flat baseline, and a normal checkout dies in that pattern. We benchmarked the custom flow at 1,000+ concurrent users with zero degradation, then ran the same load against the on-chain referral payouts so commission distribution didn't stutter at the spike. Extreme time pressure throughout.

## What We Did

Constraint: production-grade Web3 commerce, hard timeline, real money about to flow through it. The non-obvious call: dual fiat/crypto rails through one signed-webhook handler, with Cloud KMS holding the only key that signs mints and referral payouts. Concretely: multi-level on-chain referral contracts, Wert.io fiat rail, NOWPayments crypto rail, full checkout DApp, NestJS backend. Trade-off: more infra surface than a single rail. What it bought: a checkout that mints the NFT and distributes the multi-level commission in the same transaction, and which went on to raise $2M+ through the product.

## Outcomes

### +1,000 - Concurrent Users
- **Category:** Scale

### $2M+ - Raised through the Product (Client-Reported)

## Architecture & Flows

### Production architecture

Next.js DApp + NestJS backend on the left, dual-rail payments (Wert.io fiat + NOWPayments crypto) in the middle, and the on-chain commission/NFT contracts on the right. Cloud KMS holds the only key that can sign mints and referral payouts, proprietary logic highlighted in yellow.

The diagram illustrates a simplified high-level architecture and omits confidential implementation and security details.

### Checkout, fiat & crypto rails

```

  autonumber
  participant U as User
  participant FE as Next.js DApp
  participant API as NestJS API
  participant W as Wert.io
  participant NP as NOWPayments
  participant KMS as Cloud KMS
  participant SC as LivLive Contracts
  U->>FE: select item · checkout
  FE->>API: POST /orders (pending)
  API-->>FE: orderId
  alt Fiat rail (card)
    FE->>W: open widget · pay
    W-->>API: signed IPN webhook
  else Crypto rail (USDT/USDC/…)
    FE->>NP: open widget · pay
    NP-->>API: signed IPN webhook
  end
  API->>API: verify signature
  API->>KMS: sign mint + payout tx
  KMS-->>API: signed tx
  API->>SC: LivLiveNFT.mint(to=user)
  API->>SC: LivLiveRevenue.distributeCommissions(refs)
  SC-->>API: emit events · tx hash
  FE->>API: poll order status
  API-->>FE: completed · tokenId
```

One checkout, two rails. Both webhooks land in the same NestJS handler, get signature-verified, then a Cloud KMS-signed batch tx mints the NFT and distributes the multi-level commission in the same block.

## What We Learned

Under extreme time pressure, scope ruthlessness is the only path. We focused on what had to work perfectly, the on-chain referral logic and payment flows, and deferred the rest. The security audit confirmed cutting quality was never the trade we made.
