Technical Challenges & Solutions
Arbitration System Design
The most significant challenge was designing the arbitration system for handling disputes. The complexity centered around predicting abuse scenarios and creating a flawless system, as this is a critical piece of the decentralized governance and balance aspect of the application.
Real-time User Experience
Another major challenge was implementing dynamic display through WebSocket connections. This enhancement makes the app significantly more professional by eliminating the need for users to refresh after performing actions that alter the application state, providing seamless real-time updates.
Impact on Gardens Platform
My contributions have been essential to Gardens v2's evolution into a robust decentralized funding platform. The arbitration system ensures fair dispute resolution, while the real-time updates via WebSocket create a professional user experience that rivals centralized applications.
