Backend Issue #3:

Title: Create Platform Statistics Aggregation Service

Description:
Build a service to aggregate and serve platform statistics for display on the landing page (total markets, volume, users, etc.).

Requirements:

• GET /api/v1/stats endpoint
• Aggregate statistics from smart contract:
  • Total markets created
  • Total trading volume
  • Active markets count
  • Total users/wallets
  • Total bets placed
• Implement caching (Redis) with TTL
• Schedule periodic updates (cron job)
• Handle blockchain RPC failures gracefully
• Return cached data if blockchain unavailable
• Add historical data tracking
• Implement data validation

Acceptance Criteria:

• Endpoint returns accurate statistics
• Caching reduces blockchain calls
• Updates run on schedule
• Graceful error handling
• Response time < 200ms

Technical Notes:
typescript
GET /api/v1/stats
Response: {
totalMarkets: number,
totalVolume: string,
activeMarkets: number,
totalUsers: number,
lastUpdated: string
}

Gm, I’m a backend-focused engineer and smart contract developer — I’d like to work on this. I’ve built aggregation and caching services before and I’m comfortable pulling data from smart contracts, caching with Redis, and scheduling updates. I can implement the stats endpoint with fast responses, graceful RPC fallback, and reliable periodic refresh.
