Case Study: Treehouse accelerates DeFi testing and launches with BuildBear Sandboxes

Treehouse launches DeFi protocol to $80M TVL with BuildBear

Treehouse, a protocol building the Decentralized Fixed Income Layer for DeFi, needed a secure and efficient testing environment to replace slow and risky public testnets. Their challenges included the need to simulate complex token flows, impersonate accounts, and have user-friendly tools for time-travel functionality to test smart contracts effectively. They turned to BuildBear Labs for a solution using its deterministic sandbox.

BuildBear provided private sandboxes with custom features like EOA and multi-sig wallet impersonation, programmatic balance control, and a Time Advancement plugin with a UI for non-technical team members. The integration of the Blockscout explorer also enhanced visual debugging. As a result, Treehouse accelerated its testing and launched its protocol successfully, achieving a total value locked of $80 million within three weeks, demonstrating the effectiveness of the BuildBear solution.
