Meteoric ascent from $50M to over $1B in TVL, securing a coveted position among the top 10 DeFi protocols

The Challenge: Building Infrastructure for DeFi's Next Behemoth

A year ago, Dolomite found itself at a critical crossroad. It needed data infrastructure to power its multi-chain expansion plans.

Dolomite is a revolutionary protocol. It supports over a thousand unique assets across many interconnected services. Thanks to user enthusiasm, it is growing at a breathtaking rate. In a year, its TVL has jumped from $50M to over $1B, as have other important metrics.

Dolomite’s mission is clear: create a modular DeFi platform that gives users complete asset autonomy and unprecedented financial opportunities. Long term, it wants to become the central hub for all DeFi activity by enabling protocols, yield aggregators, DAOs, market makers, and hedge funds to efficiently manage portfolios and execute sophisticated on-chain strategies.

Discovery Through Partnership: The Mantle Connection

After witnessing Ormi's exceptional data indexing services for the Mantle Network, Dolomite found their solution. Migrating their critical subgraph infrastructure to a dedicated Ormi subgraph and indexing infrastructure wasn't just a technical upgrade, it was a strategic bet on future growth that would transform their development process and user experience.

From Defensive Programming to Confident Growth

Before partnering with Ormi, Dolomite's team was forced to implement complex failover systems to compensate for unreliable subgraph performance. These mitigation strategies consumed valuable development resources and still couldn't guarantee optimal user experience.

After switching to Ormi’s enterprise-grade Subgraph infrastructure, things got much simpler.

As Dolomite planned to eliminate their dependence on The Graph, Corey Caplan, a co-founder, wrote:

Prior to Ormi, we had to build failovers and implement extensive defensive programming for our Graph usage. Users often experienced difficulty accessing margin positions and frequently dealt with long load times. After integrating Ormi, the entire Dolomite app became lightning-fast and remarkably smooth.

After rigorous testing, they made the switch. Being able to focus on growth rather than infrastructure reliability has cemented the Ormi-Dolomite partnership.

Critical Moment #1: The Berachain Expansion

Dolomite's journey began on Arbitrum, where they found early product-market fit and built a thriving community. Ormi supported that early growth. But the real test of Ormi's multi-chain infrastructure arrived with Berachain's highly anticipated mainnet launch. This was a strategic and potentially transformative opportunity for Dolomite. The transition had to work flawlessly.

This expansion represented far more than just another chain integration. Berachain’s revolutionary proof-of-liquidity perfectly aligned with Dolomite’s vision. But success would require data indexing and subgraph infrastructure capable of meeting unprecedented demand, while delivering flawless performance from day one.

Within just 48 hours of receiving the request, Ormi's team began:

• Deploying additional compute resources.
• Implementing sophisticated dynamic RPC provisioning and load-balancing systems.
• Facilitating seamless cross-collaboration between the Berachain Foundation and Dolomite team.

This rapid response ensured that all data indexing and live streaming requirements were fully met by the high-profile February 6th, 2025 launch.

Ormi's meticulous preparation yielded extraordinary results. Dolomite experienced an astounding 20x increase in TVL, catapulting them into DeFi’s top tier. This explosive growth would have been impossible without infrastructure capable of handling the massive surge in transactions, users, and data processing demands.

Critical Moment #2: $DOLO Token Launch

In April 2025, Dolomite launched $DOLO, its highly anticipated governance token. This caused unprecedented traffic from users worldwide. For many protocols, such traffic spikes would mean service degradation and frustrated users.

The Ormi team anticipated this challenge, allocating additional resources and implementing around-the-clock monitoring to ensure zero slippage during this critical time. System performance remained consistent.

$DOLO’s flawless launch reinforced user confidence and contributed to Dolomite's continued momentum in the competitive DeFi space.

Explosive Growth Backed by Unshakeable Infrastructure

The Numbers

The User Experience

Prior to Ormi, Dolomite’s data feeds were unreliable and often slow. This reflected poorly on the protocol. Ormi’s enterprise-grade infrastructure turned this perception on its head. 99.9% reliability and blazingly-fast data delivery made Dolomite a DeFi force to be reckoned with.

Despite explosive growth, deployment across multiple chains, and a highly-visible token launch, Dolomite and Ormi continue to deliver a world-class experience to DeFi users across the planet.

The Ormi Advantage

Service and Support

Ormi offers industry-leading SLAs and white glove support. Proactive alerting, subgraph optimizations, and integration support are readily available to help builders create the most reliable and resilient experiences in Web3.

Hyperscale Infrastructure

Ormi's purpose-built infrastructure provides the elasticity needed for DeFi's unpredictable growth patterns. When Dolomite's traffic surged 10x during the Berachain launch, Ormi's systems scaled automatically to maintain consistent performance.

Cross-Chain Expertise

Ormi's deep experience across multiple blockchains enabled seamless integration with Berachain, a critical factor in Dolomite's 20x TVL growth. This cross-chain capability positions Dolomite for continued expansion across the Web3 ecosystem.

The Future: Data Infrastructure as Competitive Edge

As Dolomite continues its impressive growth trajectory, their partnership with Ormi demonstrates a critical truth for the next phase of Web3 development: the quality of data infrastructure directly impacts protocol perception, adoption, user experience, and ultimately, success.

For DeFi protocols with billion-dollar ambitions, the ability to deliver high performance at scale isn't just a technical consideration, it's the foundation upon which the entire user experience is built.

With Ormi's infrastructure supporting their journey, Dolomite isn't just another DeFi protocol. It’s a rapidly evolving ecosystem designed to push the boundaries of what's possible in decentralized finance, offering groundbreaking features such as the 'Zap' meta aggregator, Dynamic Collateral, Strategies Hub, and the recently launched E-Mode.

The vision of true financial empowerment is no longer a dream. It's happening now! And Ormi's infrastructure powers every transaction. Dolomite is well-positioned to lead the charge as the premier DeFi protocol on Berachain and beyond.
