Normal rebuilt its core infrastructure over summer to support 100k+ users. Portfolio loading improved 61x (22 seconds to 0.36 seconds), test coverage jumped from zero to 566 automated tests, and unauthenticated API routes dropped from 18 to zero. Cross-chain swaps now require one signature instead of up to four.
After years building Normal's multi-chain crypto wallet, the team spent summer 2026 rebuilding core infrastructure to handle 100k+ users rather than thousands. The engineering effort targeted major scaling bottlenecks: portfolio loading improved 61x (from 22 seconds to 0.36 seconds), automated test coverage grew from zero to 566 tests across 67 suites, and API security hardening eliminated 18 unauthenticated routes. Normal also simplified user experience for cross-chain interactions. Cross-chain swaps across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana now complete with one signature instead of up to four. The app now supports external Stellar wallets like Freighter and Lobstr alongside Normal's native wallet. Mobile launch is next. The rebuild positions Normal for the user growth phase with infrastructure engineered for scale rather than patched incrementally.
