Turning a promising Solana prototype into infrastructure that lands under pressure.
The protocol worked in controlled tests. Under real Solana traffic, compute usage became unpredictable, account contention rose, and otherwise valid swaps expired before landing. The economics were sound; the execution layer was not yet ready to carry them.
Our protocol pod profiled every instruction and account boundary. We redesigned the Anchor programs around compact instruction paths, zero-copy state, deterministic validation, and safer authority separation. The result used 42% fewer compute units across the core liquidity lifecycle.
We integrated Jupiter routing, simulation-aware transaction assembly, address lookup tables, and a priority-fee engine driven by live block conditions. A Yellowstone gRPC pipeline indexed positions and liquidity events into a risk console fast enough for operators to act within the same market move.
Property-based tests and economic simulations ran alongside an independent review. Every finding entered a remediation gate that blocked deployment until the exploit path had a regression test. After launch, the protocol achieved a 99.4% landing rate through measured congestion and processed $180 million in its first 120 days.
“They understood that on Solana, performance and security are the same architecture problem.”
The same program and indexing architecture now supports two additional liquidity products without expanding the protocol's operational footprint.
