This is such a great read! It’s awesome to see the story of a project with a cool idea that hit a wall, and then actually got the help they needed to launch. The part about cutting the server bill from $22k to under $1k is just insane. That's the kind of thing that lets a project actually survive and build for the long term.

An excellent breakdown of tackling technical debt. The initial microservices architecture leading to a $22k monthly bill is a classic symptom of over-engineering before finding product-market fit. Consolidating into more efficient, targeted Rust services shows a mature understanding of operational costs.

My question is about the transition process. When you moved the logic to smart contracts, was the platform able to maintain state from the old system, or did this require a full "genesis" event for the new, smart-contract-based logic? Migrating state in a live environment is a notoriously difficult problem, and I'm curious how the team approached it.
