Case Study: Enterprise Blockchain Infrastructure for Bittensor Network Bridge

Overview

Rather Labs, trusted Blockchain Technical Partner, specializes in designing, developing, and delivering custom solutions for blockchain teams and networks. One of their key projects is the Hatom Protocol on MultiversX. OnFinality helped meet a critical requirement for this project — a reliable and secure connection between MultiversX and the Bittensor blockchain to enable seamless bridging & liquidity capabilities

“OnFinality was instrumental in solving the infrastructure challenges we faced with Hatom’s bridge to Bittensor. Their reliable performance, stable WebSocket connections, and top-notch support gave us the confidence to deliver a robust and scalable solution for our client.” — Julian Ariel Martinez, Delivery Manager @ Rather Labs

The Challenge

As Rather Labs worked on the Hatom Protocol, they encountered significant challenges in connecting to the Bittensor blockchain:

  • Unreliable Public Endpoints: Public RPC endpoints proved to be unstable and slow
  • Frequent WebSocket Disconnections: Frequent disconnections caused delays and missed blocks
  • Limited Access: Archive access to historical transactions wasn’t available on the public endpoints

These issues made it very difficult to deliver a stable bridge between MultiversX and Bittensor

How OnFinality Helped

Rather Labs sought an enterprise infrastructure provider to ensure stable and reliable access to Bittensor — solely for Hatom. After evaluating multiple providers, they chose OnFinality’s Enterprise RPC solution for:

Reliability: OnFinality’s load balanced private infrastructure ensured consistent connection and block synchronization with multiple layers of redundancy

Performance: Powerful, globally distributed nodes reduced latency and improved transaction processing speeds. As a completely private setup, no other users could slow it down.

Privacy & Security: Owning the link to Bittensor ensures there are no other users of public services who are able to sniff out transactions before they apply on chain

Support & Professional Team: OnFinality’s responsive and knowledgeable support team provided valuable assistance.

Archive Access: OnFinality’s solution included all historical blockchain data

The Result

By partnering with OnFinality, Rather Labs successfully overcame the connectivity and performance challenges faced during the development of Hatom’s Bittensor bridge. OnFinality’s enterprise solutions proved key in enabling Rather Labs to deliver a high-performing and reliable bridge solution for Hatom.

Rather Labs’ experience highlights the importance of choosing a dependable blockchain infrastructure provider.
