Architecture

The application follows a modern React architecture: 
// Main app structure from apps/web/src/App.tsx
import { BrowserRouter, Route, Routes, Navigate } from "react-router-dom";
import { Trade } from "./pages/Trade";
import { TradesProvider } from "./state/TradesProvider";

function App() {
  return (
    <TradesProvider>
      <BrowserRouter>
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/trade/:market" element={<Trade />} />
          <Route path="*" element={<Navigate to="/trade/SOL_USDC" />} />
        </Routes>
      </BrowserRouter>
    </TradesProvider>
  );
}
The app uses React Context for state management, WebSocket connections for real-time updates, and a component-based architecture for modularity.
