An interview about account protection, incident management, and the resilience of Stability’s IT infrastructure.
— Leonid, how did the Stability ecosystem evolve from a single dashboard into a full ecosystem of platforms?
Leonid: What Stability users see — the interface, charts, transactions — represents only about 10–15% of the entire system.
The remaining 85–90% is architecture, processes, and control mechanisms.
Seven years ago, everything truly started with a single dashboard and limited functionality. But as systems grow, monolithic architecture becomes a risk.
We deliberately moved away from a monolithic model and transitioned to a service-based architecture with isolated domains of responsibility.
Today, Stability operates through:
- segmented services
- independent platform environments
- distributed access models
- centralized monitoring
- logging of all critical operations
Each platform — MyReserve, MyCurrency, and the main account system — is architecturally autonomous.
If one node fails, it does not bring down the entire system. We build infrastructure designed to withstand both growth and pressure.
— To put it directly: what exactly are you protecting — money, data, or infrastructure?
Leonid answers immediately: “We protect access control.”
Data is valuable. Money is a consequence. But if access is compromised, everything else loses meaning.
At Stability we implement several key principles:
- RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)
- the principle of least privilege
- segmented access rights
- multi-factor authentication
- separation of administrative responsibilities
No single person in the company — including myself — has full control over the entire ecosystem.
This is not a question of trust. It’s a question of architecture.
Leonid calmly addresses one of the most common fears in the IT industry:
“The biggest myth is that if a system is hacked, everything collapses.
If the architecture is built correctly, the system doesn’t fall like dominoes.
Vulnerabilities are localized. Access is segmented.
Financial operations are protected by additional confirmation layers.”
We are not just protecting data.
We are protecting the logic of system governance.
— How can users understand that the system is actually secure?
Leonid: First, through multi-factor authentication and proper authorization logic.
Second, through isolation of actions inside the system — critical operations require additional verification layers.
Third, through the speed of technical support response and transparent logging.
In addition, we conduct:
- internal security audits
- external audits
- penetration testing
- regular vulnerability assessments
In digital businesses, trust is not built on promises.
It is built on processes — and the repeatability of those processes.
“I trust a system not because I know the people behind it.
I trust it because I understand the principles it was built on.”
— What happens if the system detects an incident or a potential breach?
Leonid: The first minutes are critical.
We follow a strict incident response protocol:
- Automatic blocking of suspicious activity
- Isolation of the affected node through segmentation
- Full logging of all actions
- Notification of responsible teams
- Root-cause analysis and post-incident review
The architecture follows the principle of containment:
an error must never propagate beyond its segment.
We use automated anomaly triggers and fail-safe scenarios.
The system must stop a problem before it becomes systemic.
— What is the most difficult part of managing such a system?
Leonid: Balance. Balancing speed of development with reliability,
balancing ambition with available resources.
Mistakes happen. Of course they do. But for us, a mistake is not a catastrophe — it’s a growth point.
In today’s world, mistakes are expensive.But being afraid to move forward is even more expensive.
The ecosystem includes several platforms:
- MyReserve
- MyExchange
- Stability Top
- the main account system
- cybersecurity infrastructure
Each has its own leader and team. Responsibilities are distributed, but architectural principles remain unified.
— How do you build your teams?
Leonid: Skills matter.
But systems usually break not because of code — but because of misaligned values.
I look for people who:
- understand responsibility
- think systemically
- do not shift risks onto others
Processes can be formalized.
Culture is much harder to build.
When a team shares the principles of resilience and transparency,
the system itself becomes stronger.
— You once announced a marketplace development. Why hasn’t it launched yet?
Leonid: Because launching a marketplace creates significant architectural load.
We made a strategic decision to launch it only when the Stability community reaches at least 50,000 active participants.
— Why exactly 50,000?
A marketplace is an ecosystem of supply and demand.
We don’t launch products for headlines.
If the audience is too small, the marketplace becomes artificial.
With 50,000 active participants, it can scale organically without excessive marketing pressure.
“We don’t chase speed for the sake of speed. And we don’t launch products just to launch them.
We build infrastructure capable of sustaining growth.”
— How do you respond to comparisons between Stability and pyramid schemes?
Leonid: Calmly.
Any new model — especially in digital assets and partnership ecosystems — initially faces skepticism.
That’s normal.
A pyramid scheme is a structure where revenue comes exclusively from recruiting new participants.
There is no product. No infrastructure. No independent economic logic.
In our case we have:
- a product
- a platform
- technological infrastructure
- an operational model
- independent services
The ecosystem’s turnover is not limited to the partner structure.
Services function independently of new participant inflow.
I don’t argue with anyone.
If someone wants to understand — they will.
“In digital business, everything is verified by time, process transparency, and system resilience.
That’s exactly what we focus on.”
— What matters most to you in Stability?
Leonid: People.
Our community includes entrepreneurs from many industries.
Each brings experience, a story, and a perspective.
If I may speak metaphorically — they are like gold bars.
When such people unite within one architecture,
growth energy appears.
“Not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur. Not everyone will build large structures. But if someone feels inner potential, if they are not satisfied with their current lifestyle,
if they want more — they should take a closer look at our company.”
Here people have the opportunity to grow technically, financially, and personally.
And behind the scenes of this ecosystem,
the architecture continues to operate —
largely invisible to most users.
— What was your personal motivation for creating Stability?
Leonid: Experience.
There were successful projects. There were failures — actually more failures than successes.
But failures shape thinking.
At some point I realized: I didn’t just want to participate in projects.
I wanted to build a system — large-scale, well-designed, and resilient.
In Stability everything came together:
- accumulated experience
- a strong team
- long-term strategic thinking
And most importantly:
“I feel that I am in the right place. I do this sincerely. And internally, I’m becoming a different person.”
