Success Stories in DeFi
Industry: DeFi / Asset Management
Launch of a Multi-Chain Yield Aggregator
Client Overview: A well-funded startup aimed to simplify yield farming by creating a "set and forget" platform that automatically optimized user deposits across various protocols on Polygon and Avalanche. They needed a highly secure and efficient system to manage user funds and execute complex strategies.
Problem
The client needed to build a trusted platform from scratch in a competitive market. The core challenges were ensuring absolute security of user funds, creating a gas-efficient strategy-switching mechanism, and integrating with over a dozen external DeFi protocols reliably.
Our Solution
We engineered a modular vault architecture where each vault represented a unique farming strategy. This allowed for easy addition of new strategies and isolated risk. Our solution included:
- Development of gas-optimized smart contract vaults and a central controller.
- Integration with AMMs like QuickSwap and Trader Joe for liquidity provision.
- Implementation of a secure, upgradeable proxy pattern for future enhancements.
- A comprehensive DApp with a dashboard showing real-time APYs and portfolio performance.
Industry: Blockchain Infrastructure
Building a Novel Liquid Staking Protocol for a Layer-1 Chain
Client Overview: A promising Layer-1 blockchain foundation wanted to boost network security and unlock liquidity for staked assets. They envisioned a liquid staking protocol that would allow token holders to stake their assets and receive a tradable liquid token in return, which could then be used in other DeFi applications.
Problem
The primary challenge was designing a robust mechanism to maintain the peg between the liquid staking token (LST) and the underlying staked asset. The system also needed to securely manage interactions with the network's validator set and fairly distribute staking rewards to LST holders.
Our Solution
We developed a comprehensive liquid staking solution that included:
- A smart contract system to manage deposits, mint LSTs, and process withdrawals.
- An oracle-based system to update the LST exchange rate based on accumulated staking rewards.
- A delegation module to distribute staked assets across a decentralized set of high-performing validators.
- Collaboration with the foundation's core team to ensure seamless integration with the native blockchain.
Industry: FinTech / Enterprise
Integrating Yield Farming for a Corporate Treasury
Client Overview: A publicly-traded FinTech company wanted to generate yield on its stablecoin treasury reserves. They required a secure, compliant, and non-custodial solution to deploy capital into blue-chip DeFi protocols like Aave and Compound, with robust risk management and reporting features.
Problem
The client's main concerns were compliance, security, and operational complexity. They needed a solution that could interface with their existing financial systems, provide a clear audit trail, and operate within predefined risk parameters without requiring a team of dedicated DeFi experts.
Our Solution
We built a custom enterprise-grade DeFi gateway with a focus on security and compliance:
- A multi-signature wallet infrastructure for secure fund management.
- Smart contract adapters to interact with whitelisted, audited DeFi lending protocols.
- An automated risk management module that would withdraw funds if protocol health factors dropped below a certain threshold.
- A comprehensive reporting dashboard that provided transaction history, P&L, and data for financial audits.
