Challenge

Crypto Banking Access Risk Firewall with Vercel AI SDK

Financial institutions onboarding crypto asset service providers require continuous monitoring of fiat-to-crypto gateway flows and counterparty risk scores. You will create a real-time risk evaluation service that streams risk telemetry and automatically throttles high-risk settlements under configurable compliance policies.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Build a streaming crypto-fiat banking gateway risk firewall in Next.js using the Vercel AI SDK to monitor counterparty transactions in real time.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates streaming decision latency and risk decision precision for fiat-crypto settlement requests.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

triggers_circuit_breaker

Ensures high volume transfer to high risk jurisdiction is THROTTLED or BLOCKED

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

stream_first_chunk_latency_ms

Latency to first streamed response byte • target: 80 • range: 0-300

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Implement real-time streaming tools using Vercel AI SDK (`ai`)

  • Create continuous counterparty risk scoring models for fiat-crypto gateways

  • Enforce dynamic credit limits based on real-time transaction velocity

  • Stream risk evaluations directly to web dashboard clients with low latency

Resources and assets

Reference links and supporting material

Dataset notes

Stream of 1,000 crypto asset service provider (CASP) wire transfer events with varying volume spikes and risk indicators.

Challenge setup
