Overview

ArionWallet is a backend system designed to model how real digital wallets and transaction platforms work, with a strong focus on correctness, auditability, and long term scalability.

Objective

To build a backend foundation for a fintech style application that can safely manage wallet balances, transactions, and ledger entries while remaining frontend agnostic and extensible.

The Challenge

Handling money introduces complexity beyond standard CRUD APIs:
Balance consistency must be guaranteed
Every transaction must be traceable
State transitions must be predictable
The system must be designed for future compliance, fraud checks, and audits
A naive design would quickly break under real-world usage.

Solution / Outcomes

I designed ArionWallet as a modular monolith using Domain Driven Design principles, separating core concerns like users, wallets, transactions and ledger entries.
Key outcomes:
Clear transaction lifecycle (PENDING → SUCCESS / FAILED)
Double-entry ledger ensuring every balance change is auditable
API-first design that can support any frontend or client
Clean domain boundaries that support future growth
Transactions Endpoint
Transactions Endpoint
Ledger Entry for a Transaction
Ledger Entry for a Transaction

Technical Implementation

Java & Spring Boot
RESTful API design
PostgreSQL for transactional data
Redis for performance and state support
Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
Modular monolith architecture
Transactional integrity and state management
This project is actively evolving, with future modules planned for withdrawals, fraud detection, and admin tooling.
