Cryptocurrency converter general blueprint

✅ 1. High-Level Architecture Overview

A cryptocurrency converter needs to:

Fetch reliable real-time prices
Normalize and cache data
Convert between currencies accurately
Provide fast API responses
Handle failures and rate limits gracefully

To do this, the system is built around six primary components:

✅ 2. Major Components (Skeleton)

(1) Data Provider Adapters Layer

Purpose: Retrieve raw crypto/fiat prices from multiple external APIs.

Sub-components:

Exchange API Adapters (e.g., Binance, Coinbase, Kraken)
Fiat API Adapters (e.g., Forex providers)
Rate-Limit Manager
API Key Manager

Output: Raw price feeds (JSON streams).

(2) Data Normalization & Aggregation Service

Purpose: Clean, normalize, and merge data from different providers.

Core tasks:

Normalize currency pairs (BTC/USD vs XBT/USD)
Remove outliers (invalid prices)
Aggregate prices (using a weighted median or volume-weighted average)

Recommended Algorithm:

VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)
Outlier detection via IQR (Interquartile Range)
Fallback to weighted median if provider inconsistencies occur

Output: Stable, aggregated price per asset.

(3) In-Memory Price Cache

Purpose: Extremely fast lookup of the latest normalized prices.

Tech options:

Redis
Memcached
In-process LRU cache

Cache stores:

Latest aggregated price
Timestamp
Source confidence score

Cache invalidation algorithm:

Time-based expiration (e.g., 1–5 seconds)
Value-based invalidation when price deviation > threshold

(4) Conversion Engine

Purpose: Perform accurate conversion between crypto ↔ crypto, crypto ↔ fiat, fiat ↔ fiat.

Core conversion formula:

amount_out = amount_in * (price_from / price_to)

Enhancements:

Decimal arithmetic using arbitrary precision (avoid float errors)
Automatic fallback to secondary providers if stale data detected
Support for cross-rates (BTC → USD → ETH)

Algorithm for routing conversion:

Dijkstra’s shortest path on currency graph
- Nodes = currencies
- Edge weight = price reliability
- Finds best conversion path if direct pair unavailable

(5) REST / GraphQL API Layer

Purpose: Expose conversion functionality to clients.

Key endpoints:

GET /convert?from=BTC&to=ETH&amount=1
GET /price?symbol=BTC
GET /rates

API responsibilities:

Validate input
Query Price Cache
Invoke Conversion Engine
Return precise output
Apply throttling & authentication

(6) Monitoring, Logging & Error Handling

Purpose: Ensure stability and reliability.

Includes:

Health checks for each data provider
Alerting if price feed becomes stale
Auto-retry & fallback routing
Logging of conversions, errors, latency stats

✅ 3. How Components Connect (Data Flow)

🎯 2. ER DATABASE SCHEMA

(Note: Converter is mostly real-time, so DB is minimal—stores logs, user profiles, conversion history, provider status.)

TABLE users (
    user_id          BIGINT PK,
    email            VARCHAR,
    password_hash    VARCHAR,
    created_at       TIMESTAMP
);

    user_id          BIGINT FK -> users.user_id,
    from_currency    VARCHAR(10),
    to_currency      VARCHAR(10),
    amount_in        DECIMAL(38, 18),

🎯 5. PSEUDOCODE FOR EACH COMPONENT

5.1 Price Provider Adapter

function fetchPrice(provider):
    response = http.get(provider.url)
    if response.isError():
        logError(provider.name)
        return null

    data = parse(response)

        baseCurrency=data.base,
        quoteCurrency=data.quote,
        price=data.price,
        volume=data.volume,
        timestamp=data.timestamp
    )

5.2 Aggregation Service

function aggregatePrices(priceFeeds):
    clean = filterOutliers(priceFeeds)

    if clean.isEmpty():
        return lastGoodValue()

    totalPriceVolume = sum(feed.price * feed.volume)

5.5 Dijkstra for Conversion Routing

function findBestPath(start, end):
    graph = buildCurrencyGraph()
    dist = map()
    prev = map()

    for each node in graph:
        dist[node] = infinity

    while pq not empty:
        current = pq.pop()

            break

        for neighbor in graph[current]:
            weight = 1 - providerReliability(neighbor)
            alt = dist[current] + weight

            if alt < dist[neighbor]:

🚀 2. Backend Code Templates (Node, Python, Go, Java)

Below are minimal but fully correct templates for a conversion endpoint.

2.1 Node.js (Express)

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const redis = require("./redis");

app.get("/convert", async (req, res) => {
  const { from, to, amount } = req.query;

    price_from = float(cache.get(from_currency))
    price_to = float(cache.get(to_currency))
    result = amount * (price_from / price_to)
    return {"amount_out": result}

2.3 Go

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"net/http"
	"strconv"

	"github.com/redis/go-redis/v9"
)

var rdb = redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{Addr: "redis:6379"})

func convert(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
	q := req.URL.Query()

	from := q.Get("from")
	to := q.Get("to")
	amount, _ := strconv.ParseFloat(q.Get("amount"), 64)

	priceFrom, _ := rdb.Get(ctx, from).Float64()
	priceTo, _ := rdb.Get(ctx, to).Float64()

	result := amount * (priceFrom / priceTo)

	json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(map[string]float64{"amount_out": result})
}

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/convert", convert)
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}

2.4 Java (Spring Boot)

@RestController
public class ConvertController {

    @Autowired
    RedisTemplate<String, String> redis;

    @GetMapping("/convert")
    public Map<String, Double> convert(
        @RequestParam String from,
        @RequestParam String to,
        @RequestParam double amount) {

        double priceFrom = Double.parseDouble(redis.opsForValue().get(from));
        double priceTo = Double.parseDouble(redis.opsForValue().get(to));

        double result = amount * (priceFrom / priceTo);

        return Map.of("amount_out", result);
    }
}

services/price-fetcher/src/main.py

import asyncio
from providers.binance import fetch_binance
from providers.coinbase import fetch_coinbase
from providers.kraken import fetch_kraken
from redis_client import redis
from logger import log

async def fetch_all():
    providers = [fetch_binance, fetch_coinbase, fetch_kraken]
    results = []

    for provider in providers:
        try:
            price = await provider()
            results.append(price)
        except Exception as e:
            log(f"Provider {provider.__name__} failed: {e}")

async def loop():
    while True:
        await fetch_all()
        await asyncio.sleep(1)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(loop())

2.2 Aggregator Service (Normalization + VWAP)

services/aggregator/src/aggregator.py

from algorithms import vwap, remove_outliers
from redis_client import redis
from logger import log

def run_aggregation():
    raw = redis.get("raw_prices")

        "confidence": len(clean) / len(raw),
    }

    redis.set("BTC-USD", aggregated)
    log(f"Aggregated price: {aggregated}")

2.3 Conversion Engine (Python FastAPI)

services/conversion-engine/src/app.py

from fastapi import FastAPI
from redis_client import redis
from graph import best_path

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/convert")
def convert(from_currency, to_currency, amount: float):
    price_from = redis.get(from_currency)
    price_to = redis.get(to_currency)

    if not price_from or not price_to:
        route = best_path(from_currency, to_currency)
        price_from, price_to = route.compute()

    result = amount * (price_from / price_to)
    return {"amount_out": result}

2.4 API Gateway (Node.js Express)

services/api-gateway/src/server.js

const express = require("express");
const axios = require("axios");

const app = express();
const CE_URL = process.env.CE_URL;

app.get("/convert", async (req, res) => {
  const response = await axios.get(`${CE_URL}/convert`, {
    params: req.query,
  });
  res.json(response.data);
});

app.listen(8080, () => console.log("API Gateway running"));

We evaluate threats across core components:

Components Covered:

API Gateway
Conversion Engine
Aggregator
Price Fetcher
Redis
Kafka
Istio Service Mesh
Kubernetes Cluster
Vault
Users

STRIDE Table

S — Spoofing Identity

Asset	Threat	Mitigation
API Gateway	Token spoofing	mTLS, OAuth2 with short-lived JWTs
Internal Services	Pod identity impersonation	Istio strong identity (SPIFFE/SPIRE)
Exchange Integrations	Fake provider endpoints	Certificate pinning, DNSSEC

T — Tampering

Asset	Threat	Mitigation
Kafka Streams	Price manipulation	SASL + ACLs, schema validation
Redis Cache	Tampering aggregated values	Vault-issued dynamic creds + read-only roles
Conversion Engine	Input tampering	Strong input validation & checksum

R — Repudiation

Threat	Mitigation
No trace of price changes	Immutable audit logs (ELK, Loki)
Failed admin attribution	Vault audit logging + IAM user bindings

I — Information Disclosure

Threat	Mitigation
Exposure of API keys	Vault storage, no secrets in env vars
Unencrypted service traffic	Istio mTLS enforced
Log leaks	PII scrubbing + log access RBAC

D — Denial of Service

Threat	Mitigation
Flooding conversion API	Global rate-limiting (Envoy)
Kafka overload	Partition autobalancing, quotas
Redis saturation	Read replicas, HPA autoscaling

E — Elevation of Privilege

Threat	Mitigation
Compromised container -> cluster access	Rootless containers, seccomp, AppArmor
Privilege escalation inside service mesh	Fine-grained Istio AuthorizationPolicies

🛑 1.2 MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

Initial Access

Phishing → M365 Hardening
Exploiting API → WAF + OWASP checks

Execution

Malicious container execution → Admission Controller + image signing (Cosign)

Persistence

Compromised token reuse → Short-lived JWTs & Vault dynamic secrets

Privilege Escalation

Abusing container runtime → Seccomp, AppArmor, rootless containers

Defense Evasion

Clearing logs → Remote write-only logging (Loki, OpenSearch)

Credential Access

Dumping env vars → No secrets in env, Vault templates only

Discovery

Network scanning → Istio AuthorizationPolicies deny lateral movement

Lateral Movement

Pivoting through services → mTLS + RBAC prevents access

Collection

Intercepting price data → TLS 1.3+ required

Exfiltration

Data transfer → Egress gateway restrictions

Impact

Tampering prices → Double-source validation, anomaly detection
