Background
StrongNode is an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) provider specializing in blockchain-based applications. They offer innovative infrastructure solutions, including a decentralized storage system, allowing device owners to rent out idle computing power in exchange for SNE tokens. These tokens can be used to purchase goods and services or traded on cryptocurrency exchanges. StrongNode’s platform enables efficient deployment of blockchain applications while promoting resource optimization through a token-based economy.
Solution
Rollout IT played a crucial role in developing StrongNode’s infrastructure and applications. The team, consisting of one tech lead and two full-stack JavaScript developers, focused on multiple key areas:
- Admin Panel Development: Creating an efficient admin panel using React, styled-components, and MaterialUI to improve code quality and user experience.
