Pain Point

Amgen's scientists had developed a highly sophisticated and effective model for predicting medical dosages by simulating complex human bodily systems. The models themselves were robust and accurate, representing a significant scientific breakthrough in personalized medicine. The core issue, however, was in the application of these models. The codebase for the dosage prediction tool was computationally intensive and inefficient, requiring an extensive amount of time to process the simulations.


This created a severe bottleneck in the workflow for doctors. Instead of being a real-time assistance tool, the process was so slow that it would take a staggering three weeks to get a single result. This substantial delay made the tool's valuable insights nearly unusable in a practical clinical setting, where timely decisions are critical for patient care. The company had a great product, but its engineering challenges made it completely impractical.
Astion

Pain points and issues:

  • Extremely Slow Processing: The code's inefficiency caused significant delays in computation time.

  • Long Wait Times: Doctors had to wait three weeks for a single dosage prediction.

  • Limited Usability: The delay rendered the tool impractical for timely clinical use.

Time required to process a single dosage prediction was reduced from three weeks to just ten minutes.

Results

The changes implemented by the FP Block team had a transformative impact on the dosage prediction tool's performance. The combination of single-core optimizations and the new distributed cloud-based architecture dramatically reduced the computation time.

Updated Metrics:

  • Computation Time: The time required to process a single dosage prediction was reduced from three weeks to just ten minutes.

  • Scalability: The new cloud-based system provided the flexibility to scale computations on demand, allowing for a higher volume of requests without performance degradation.

The solution delivered by our team not only solved Amgen's immediate performance issues but also provided a future-proof, scalable platform. The final result was a system that could deliver valuable insights to doctors in a timely manner, making the tool a practical and indispensable part of their workflow.

Maintenance Work:

Following the successful implementation, our team provided ongoing maintenance and support. This included monitoring the cloud infrastructure to ensure stability, optimizing resource allocation for cost-efficiency, and providing technical support to Amgen's internal teams to ensure smooth and uninterrupted operations.

Pain Point

Six Sigma Sports was in the process of developing a blockchain-based sports betting application, but their internal engineering team faced significant hurdles. The project had fallen behind schedule, leading to delays that jeopardized its path to market. A core issue was the inefficient architecture they had designed, which relied on a microservices and message queue system. This approach was not only cumbersome to manage but also resulted in an astronomical monthly hardware bill, reaching approximately $22,000.


Compounding these challenges, the on-chain application logic was implemented using Cosmos SDK submodules. This technical decision created a major pain point: any small software update or change required a full redeployment of the entire blockchain. This made maintenance and iteration incredibly difficult and time-consuming, ultimately preventing the application from reaching a production environment and going live on the mainnet.
Aston

Pain points and issues:

  • The engineering team was behind its initial development schedule.

  • Excessively high monthly hardware costs of approximately $22,000 due to an inefficient microservices/message queue architecture.

  • A rigid on-chain logic setup that mandated full chain redeployments for every single software update.

  • The application was unable to progress to production.

Services Provided: Development and launch of a full-stack leveraged trading platform.

Pain Point

Before partnering with FP Block, Levana's internal team had spent nearly two years developing their perpetual swaps platform. Despite this significant time investment, the product was not in a state ready for a public launch. The complexities of building a secure and scalable leveraged trading system on a decentralized network presented a formidable challenge that the team was struggling to overcome.


The perpetual swaps platform required intricate smart contract logic to handle collateral, liquidations, and funding rates, all while ensuring robust security to protect user funds. Additionally, the backend and frontend needed to be highly responsive and reliable to deliver a seamless and trustworthy trading experience. Without a clear path forward, the project was at a standstill, risking a significant loss of time, resources, and market opportunity.
Astion

Pain points and issues:

  • Prolonged Development: The project had been in development for almost two years with no clear launch date in sight.

  • Stalled Progress: The product was functionally incomplete and not ready to go live on a public network.

  • Security and Stability Concerns: As a high-value DeFi application, the platform required a rigorous security and stability assessment before it could handle real user funds.
