What We Learned
Although Move is a new programming language, it was impressive to witness sophisticated individuals quickly spinning up trading bots in the 24 hours after the competition started, placing rapid trades at a continuous clip— but the Econia protocol functioned as intended, ultimately settling millions of on-chain events during the week-long competition.
However, less than two days into the competition, the core protocol was settling so many trades that downstream data tools had trouble keeping up! After some quick patches to auxiliary components, the Econia Labs team helped frontend partners get quickly back online after a brief hiccup with indexing software.
In short, Econia was pushing so much data that traditional Web2 infrastructure components, like centralized databases, had to be reinforced just to keep up.
