Engine is beneficial if your app:

  • Handles multiple company app wallets.
  • Requires controlled access by multiple team members.
  • Requires transactions to be delivered reliably during traffic bursts and network congestion.
  • Sends more than one transaction per block (example: 2 Ethereum transactions within 12 seconds).
