## Selected cases CoW Protocol - Context: developer tooling, integrations, and product work kept piling up outside the core team's focus. - What Bleu owned: a Python SDK built from scratch (cow-py), the TypeScript SDK re-architected around Viem (bundle down 32%), the CoW AMM Deployer Safe App shipped in 2 weeks, and the Dune governance dashboard. - What changed: 16 initiatives across protocol tooling, frontend infrastructure, developer experience, and governance. 30+ months and counting — without slowing the core team or adding management overhead. Other cases - Perk: Bleu strengthened the platform while Perk kept shipping — 3+ years, 12k+ commits, 16 apps in production, and the M&M's launch at 99.984% uptime. - Silo Finance: Bleu owns Silo's data layer end to end — V2 subgraph, multichain APIs across 4+ chains, infrastructure costs cut 80% — while the core team stays on the protocol. - Grants: 4 Optimism grants (all milestones approved) · 9 Balancer grants (delivered on scope and on time). Current cases - Tegra (agritech, Squad, Feb 2026 → present): from a WhatsApp sales operation to a working carcass marketplace, validated in the field before a single line of production code. Pilot live; 26 slaughterhouses in pipeline; marketplace validation decoupled from AI camera training (0 weeks waiting). - Corbellini (geology/environmental consultancy, Sprint Zero → platform, ongoing): the ask was automation, the real problem was structural — a four-decade operation running on people, not systems. New platform monitors the official gazette and the regulator daily; the team learns about deadlines before publication. Legacy migration underway. - Pike (DeFi lending protocol, product team, 2025): audited contracts, three launch attempts in eight years. Bleu absorbed frontend, backend, infra, and analytics as one coordinated squad; the founder called the result the best consumer-facing product they'd ever shipped.
