Autostickers

NFT sticker drops on TON are supply-limited and front-run by bots within milliseconds. Autostickers is one of those bots, but built to be reliable for end users instead of throwing every box at every drop.

The hard problem is the spike. At drop time you go from a quiet baseline to thousands of concurrent buy attempts, all needing to read the same hot rows of state and write blockchain transactions before competitors do. Engineered load distribution across server cores, hot-path-tuned database access patterns, and queue + cache layers that absorbed the burst without losing customer orders during partial failures.

End state: 2,300+ paying users, $152k in turnover, ~20% margin.
