Data infrastructure partner for a multichain lending protocol.
We built the indexing and data layer everything else depends on—from subgraphs to multichain APIs—so Silo could focus on protocol development.
Context
Silo Finance is a permissionless lending protocol designed for long-tail assets, where each market is isolated to contain risk. As they scaled to V2 and expanded across multiple chains, reliable data infrastructure became critical—not just for internal operations, but for user-facing features like points programs and health factor visibility. The challenge wasn't building the protocol itself. It was building the data layer that everything else depended on: accurate position tracking, real-time computed fields, and multichain consistency. These were foundational but fell outside the core team's bandwidth and expertise.
- •V2 launch needed an official subgraph without internal bandwidth
- •Existing points program pipeline had undetected data quality issues
- •Multichain expansion required unified data access across 4+ networks
- •Infrastructure costs were growing with each new integration
Our role
We became Silo's data infrastructure partner—owning the systems that sit between on-chain state and the interfaces users and integrators rely on. This meant building from scratch, auditing existing pipelines, and expanding coverage across chains—all with minimal specification, operating as an embedded technical team rather than a vendor.
"Easy to work with. Take ownership, which is not easy. Can be trusted to deliver, also not easy. If we go through all the partners we've worked with, you guys are probably the best."
What changed
Silo now has production-grade data infrastructure across their entire stack—and reduced infrastructure costs by 80% in the process.
- ✓V2 subgraph provides reliable, auditable on-chain data for the protocol's core markets
- ✓Points program launched without corrupted distributions—errors caught before reaching users
- ✓Integrators and users can access real-time health factors and USD pricing across all supported networks
- ✓Infrastructure costs reduced by 80%
Areas we took ownership of
Why this partnership works
Silo's core team focuses on protocol development and expansion. That leaves critical infrastructure work—subgraphs, data validation, multichain APIs—that is foundational but difficult to prioritize internally.
This partnership works because Bleu operates effectively in that space: taking ownership of high-impact technical work with minimal guidance, while maintaining production-grade quality and low coordination overhead.
"By offloading data infrastructure work, we were able to launch with confidence and focus on what we do best - building the protocol."
Outcome
By offloading data infrastructure without adding coordination overhead, Silo launched v2 with reliable indexing, caught critical errors before they impacted users, and expanded multichain coverage—all while keeping the core team focused on the protocol itself. Plus, they cut infrastructure costs by 80% in the process.
If you're dealing with infrastructure work that's hard to delegate but hard not to do, this is the kind of partnership we build.
