# Case study — Pike

Industry: Financial infrastructure

Pike is a web3 lending protocol with audited contracts — and it needed the product around them. One Bleu team shipped the app, backends, liquidation, analytics, and design on a single roadmap. The founder called the result the best version in eight years.

8 Years of Pike — the founder calls this the best version · 1 Team across product, design, and engineering · 5 Integrated systems shipped · 12 Months to full delivery

Pike combines an exchange and a lending market on the same blockchain. The financial core — the smart contracts, audited by third parties — already existed. The challenge was everything between that code and a person actually using the product: interface, data, automation, and design.

## Shipped

- Lending and exchange app: Unified dashboard with net yield, strategies, charts, and history
- Liquidation bot: Automation that protects the protocol when positions run out of collateral — researched jointly, then built for production
- Two backend systems: The layer that reads the blockchain and serves ready data to the app — where there had been no backend at all
- Points program: Rewards for protocol users, wired into the product
- Analytics dashboards: Protocol health and KPIs on Dune and internal panels
