Case Study: Leading Cryptocurrency Exchange eradicates malicious automation and boosts bot detection with GeeTest

Leading Cryptocurrency Exchange Company - Customer Case Study

Leading Cryptocurrency Exchange Company, a platform handling $2bn in volume, over 100 cryptocurrencies and 1,400,000+ transactions per second, faced escalating bot attacks in 2017 on high‑risk gateways like login and sign‑up. Their existing captcha could not stop sophisticated automated account takeovers and promotional abuse, and its high‑friction responses generated significant user dissatisfaction. GeeTest was brought in to provide a more advanced anti‑bot captcha and behavioral verification solution.

GeeTest’s deployment across critical gateways revealed that bad bots accounted for over 99% of requests on those endpoints and, after full integration, malicious automation was eradicated while accessibility complaints dropped to zero. With GeeTest in place, bot detection at critical gateways improved by 35%, 88% of legitimate users were verified seamlessly, and challenge solving time fell from ~10s to 2.08s (a 500% reduction), giving the exchange pinpoint control over site traffic.
