Tapp Exchange

Tapp will be a community-driven decentralized exchange, powered by a self-optimizing ve(3,3) model, serving the Aptos ecosystem with its liquidity needs.

What I worked on

Alongside the front end, I took on making the exchange findable. A DEX is the kind of site people reach by searching for a specific pool or token rather than by typing the domain, and a front end assembled entirely in the browser gives a crawler nothing to read. The work was getting pool and token pages to resolve to something indexable instead of an empty shell.

Notes

The stack is deliberately split. Move and Rust handle everything that must be provable on-chain; Go and Kafka handle everything that must be fast and replayable off-chain — indexing, price feeds, and the event stream the front end reads from. Kafka is there because a DEX front end is fundamentally a view over an append-only log, and treating it that way makes backfills and reorg handling ordinary rather than exceptional.
