Our Impact
Hibachi’s overhaul delivers tangible impact: a sub-second ETL engine processes millions of on- and off-chain events daily to power live leaderboards and BI dashboards, while 31 000 + quest completions on Layer3 confirm the incentives’ pull. Deep integrations with Galxe, DeFiLlama and CoinMarketCap broaden reach, a plug-and-play Python SDK lets partners connect in minutes, and continuous penetration tests with automated bug-bounty triage keep the platform secure and ready for rapid feature rollout.

Beyond trading, Hibachi is designed to drive user engagement through gamified incentives and rich, data-driven insights. Users can earn points and complete quests based on on-chain activity, while developers benefit from a robust SDK and integration suite that streamlines third-party adoption.Linum Labs partnered closely with the Hibachi team todevelop the backend infrastructure, engineer the quest and incentive system, and implement comprehensive security protocols to support the platform’s long-term growth.

Challenges

To bring their vision to life, Hibachi needed:

  • A scalable ETL pipeline to parse and process complex blockchain trade and deposit data.
  • A dynamic and transparent incentive mechanism to reward user activity.
  • Seamless integration with external platforms like Layer3, Galxe, DeFiLlama, and CoinMarketCap.
  • A flexible SDK for developers to interact with Hibachi via REST and WebSocket protocols.
  • Enterprise-grade security operations including penetration testing and bug bounty tracking.

Our Solution

ETL & Data Infrastructure

We engineered a comprehensive ETL solution leveraging Python, Apache Airflow, AWS Glue, and Spark. This pipeline ingests and processes on-chain and off-chain data to power:

  • A real-time, points-based leaderboard
  • Personalized quests and user milestones
  • Business intelligence dashboards for internal analytics

The result: a powerful backend that supports both business strategy and a responsive, gamified frontend experience.

Gamification & Integration

To deliver engaging incentives, we developed a modular quest engine and leaderboard, supported by Rust-based microservices. These services integrated tightly with a Next.js/React frontend to bring users an immersive gamified interface.We extended the platform’s reach by integrating with:

  • Galxe and Layer3 for cross-platform quests (31,000+ completions so far)
  • DeFiLlama and CoinMarketCap to enrich token and protocol data
  • Custom APIs to source and verify real-time financial data

Developer SDK

To drive adoption among partners and third-party developers, we delivered a Python SDK allowing easy integration with Hibachi’s services via both REST and WebSocket protocols.

Security & OperationsSecurity was baked in from day one:

  • Launched a black-box penetration test to simulate real-world threats
  • Established a bug bounty program with a full verification and remediation pipeline
  • Built custom Bash scripts to support CI/CD and security automation
  • Managed security-related PR reviews and Cloudflare configurations
  • Currently evaluating continuous pentesting platforms to automate vulnerability discovery
  • Implementing advanced Cloudflare security rules based on pentest insights

Results

  • Scalable Data Engine powering Hibachi’s core quest and reward systems
  • Over 31K quest completions on Layer3, validating user engagement
  • Cross-platform presence with Galxe and major data aggregators
  • Security-first posture with ongoing penetration testing and automation
  • Developer-friendly SDK to support ecosystem integrations
