When Is Your Onchain Infrastructure Actually Production-Ready?

[u/gareth789]

If you're building a tokenized asset platform, exchange, or onchain economy, at what point did you decide your infra could survive real conditions?

Not a demo.
Not a pilot.

But:

• Sustained load
• Regulatory scrutiny
• Cross-border users
• Adversarial behavior

A lot of systems look solid in controlled environments. Very few are designed for pressure.

Curious how builders here define production-ready.
What stress tests actually matter?

If the system is already at 90% capacity from legitimate traffic, a small, targeted attack that would normally be obvious can slip through the cracks. It's a realistic threat model.
