Through the years, we've come across many issues that make managing LP and Yield positions across chains and protocols unnecessarily difficult.
Both are amazing concepts and there are great products that are not seeing as much usage by non-experts as they should. Especially in terms of LP, many crypto users refrain from using LP positions to earn and grow their wealth due to the complexity and steep learning curve.
Fragmented UX: Managing positions across Uniswap on Base, Unichain and Arbitrum, Aave on Base and Optimism meant juggling multiple wallets, gas, and interfaces. Without a smart account, even simple rebalancing becomes a 20-click ordeal.
Weak analytics: Want to know your total fees earned this month? Good luck. You'd need to manually track each position across every protocol and chain, export CSV files, and build your own spreadsheet. There's no unified view.
Clumsy deposits: Wanting to LP with the asset you actually hold (any token/single-asset) is rarely smooth if at all available.
Project LP Management: When we helped projects manage their protocol-owned liquidity, we hit a wall. Team members often lacked the time and knowledge to navigate concentrated liquidity math, slippage settings, and gas optimization across chains. The learning curve was real.
We started fixing these pain points by building small internal tools—a position tracker here, a fee calculator there. But then we stopped and asked:
"Wait, if we're struggling with this, how hard must it be for everyone else?"
That's when we decided to build Dew.
Dew is our answer: one interface for discovery → deposit → manage → analyze.
Dew, first and foremost, is a platform that unifies opportunity discovery and LP/Yield position management. Liquidity being fragmented is often talked about, but what isn't often talked about is fragmentation of products. Instead of building a new onchain/DeFi platform ourselves, we want to make use of the battle-tested and well established products out there. Dew is being built on the shoulders of giants, so to say.
But that's not where we are stopping.
Since day 1 of starting work on the MVP, we have built Dew in a way that allows us to more easily integrate more chains and protocols in the future. That means we will be able to relatively quickly add new requested chains and protocols.
Finding good LP and yield opportunities shouldn't mean scouting seven different UIs with wildly different quality levels.
In Dew, we surface top yield markets and LP pools across protocols and chains, allowing you to discover and open positions without leaving the app.
Of course that's only half the story. The other half is analytics like filtering positions by chain/protocol, track total earnings, and more.
But before we dive deeper, let's address trust and security.
Dew is being built on the shoulders of giants. We utilize protocols like Uniswap and Aave, instead of building our own. You won't have to trust a new set of smart contracts with Dew, we are using battle-tested and reliable tech and strongly believe that not your keys, not your funds.
Dew is:
Non-custodial by design: we use Alchemy's Smart Wallets, will never have access to your funds and you will always be able to export the private key/seed phrase
Transparent: by showing you exactly how much fees you have to pay and what is happening when you do a transaction
Curated: we'll show opportunities from battle-tested protocols like Uniswap, Aave and similar giants. You won't find freshly-deployed yield farms or anon 10,000% APY traps on here. We will of course listen to our community and add pools/protocols/chains that are in high demand.
Opinionated: we're building on the shoulders of giants, not gambling on every new launch. If you want to ape into a sketchy vault, you can do that elsewhere.
Now let's check out what makes Dew different.
We really think that a lot more people would like to earn through LP and Yield, but it's just too complex, with a steep learning curve.
That's why Dew will feature two modes:
Expert
The mode with full data, no hand-holding. All the charts, metrics and control that power users expect, with a lot more to come post-MVP!
Core
In this mode, we will abstract away most complexity and information. Think of your modern neobanking app - simple and easy to use. A couple of clicks and you're earning.
The vision for the flow goes something like this:
→ Log in (Email/Passkey/Socials)
→ Browse opportunities (e.g. Aave USDC market, Uniswap ETH/USDC pool)
→ Pick an input mode and strategy
→ Enter amount → pay with card or top up wallet
→ Dew handles the rest in the background
Of course users can always top up their wallet, withdraw, swap tokens, etc.
Further, Dew actually has three modes for LP position creation:
Dual-token
The standard mode, you supply both tokens into the pool
Any-token and Single-asset
You can simply select a token of your choice, e.g. "USDC" as your deposit token, then select a pool you want to open your position in, and Dew will handle the rest, from swapping into the correct amounts to opening the position.
Let's look at an example. Say you hold wBTC on Arbitrum but want to provide LP into ETH/USDC (v3 on Uniswap). You would select 'Any-Token' → wBTC, pick Balanced, enter amount. Dew handles the optimal split/swaps, fee preview, and mints the LP
Want to deposit on Unichain into v4 cbBTC/ETH using USDC? Sure, go ahead.
At launch, Dew offers three pre-set strategies plus custom ranges:
Passive (Full Range): Maximize uptime; lowest maintenance; highest IL cushioning. Set-and-forget LP.
Balanced: Centered around current price with a moderate band sized to recent volatility. Balances fee capture and IL. Good default for most majors.
Growth: Tighter band around current price to amplify fee APR. Expect more frequent re-ranges and higher IL risk.
Custom: Set your own tick bounds.
You can switch presets or adjust to custom anytime. Available in both Expert and Core modes.
Our roots are in blockchain education. For years, we've created materials to help people understand blockchain tech, crypto, LP mechanisms and more.
In Dew's roadmap, we're embedding education directly into the app:
Contextual tooltips: Hover over "Impermanent Loss" and get a 2-sentence explanation + a link to dive in deeper
Strategy guides: Each pre-defined strategy (Passive, Balanced, Growth) will have a short explainer on when to use it and what to expect
Learning hub: A library of articles and eventually videos, ranging from "What is an LP position?" to "Advanced range optimization strategies".
We don't want people just to use Dew, we really want them to understand. Empowering people to take their financials in their own hands comes with responsibility for us, too. This way, our users can make informed decisions and grow their wealth confidently.
There has been a lot of talk about Ethereum alignment. We love Ethereum and want to give back. That's why we will commit to:
Pledging 1% of Dew tokens to Protocol Guild or streaming some percentage of Dew's revenue to them
Protocol Guild is the leading independent funding organization for Ethereum core developers.
Using some of Dew's revenue to buy and hold ETH (the amount is TBD, please see this page for updated info, which still may change in the future)
But that's not all, we too want to give the best to our users. There will be revenue sharing (in ETH) and fee rebates for token holders, the ability to suggest new tokens, protocols and chains to integrate and to learn more about LP and Yield.
There will be NO venture capital firms in the Dew token sale, unless they buy tokens from Juicebox like anyone else. No private pre-sale or any of that bullshit. We ride with our community, or not at all.
Our goal is to raise $500,000. That's enough to keep building for the next 12-18 months and bring on some helping hands to accelerate development.
You may wonder why we want to keep it so lean.
It's because Dew will generate revenue from day 1 of the public MVP launch:
0% fee on position creation
0.2% fee on swaps coming from the usage of the Any-token/Single-Asset mode
10% fee on claims
1% fee on closing positions
For Aave (and later other protocols like it), it is:
0% fee on position creation
0.2% fee on swaps coming from the usage of the Any-token/Single-asset mode (most likely will be added post-MVP for Aave)
10% fee on claims
1% fee on closing positions
The goal for us with Dew is to become revenue sustainable as quickly as possible. We're not interested in raising millions just because we can. If we need more, we'll revisit the option of raising again, but we would rather prove that our model can work and let the product earn its keep.
Revenue is split:
50% team operations
35% token holder revenue share
15% ETH treasury
Most crypto products need mass adoption to succeed. Dew drives mass adoption.
Think about it: a neobank-style UX doesn't just appeal to crypto-natives, it appeals to anyone tired of earning 2% in their savings account.
Users start in Core mode (simple), graduate to Expert mode (powerful), and realize they don't need to leave. We're not recycling DeFi users, we're creating them by offering a product so simple that it brings people onchain rather than just shuffling the same DeFi userbase around.
And we're already thinking much bigger, from debit card integrations that allow you to spend money without having to manually close positions, so your money is ALWAYS earning, to more UI/UX and/or integrations that makes it not just feel like a bank account, but become one.
Our tokenomics aren't built on hopes and prayers, we win when our users win.
Dew is curated and opinionated, but risks remain: impermanent loss, smart contract vulnerabilities, market volatility. We make access easier, but we don't eliminate risk.
Start small and don't invest more than you can afford to lose.
