🙌The Opportunity

Market Opportunity

Given that the Solana DeFi ecosystem is relatively young, there does not yet exist a leading investment management ecosystem providing access to the best yields from within a single platform. Laguna seeks to fill this void by building alongside the best developers, strategists, and protocols in the space with the ultimate goal of providing the best investment products and infrastructure in all of DeFi.

The Problem

Maximizing returns requires deep knowledge of the DeFi ecosystem. Users need to actively manage their portfolio to avoid losses while staying on top of the best opportunities. This unfortunately takes time and prevents less sophisticated users from accessing exciting opportunities, ultimately limiting participation in DeFi.

Our Solution

Fortunately many aspects of asset management can be optimally executed by code, allowing Laguna to democratize access to the best yield-generating opportunities while also maximizing returns and minimizing time spent actively managing funds.

In short, Laguna will to optimize your returns and time by:

Simplifying Yield Farming

Currently, yield farmers have to complete up to 4 discrete steps before entering a pool and farming yield. Here is a typical flow: first load a single asset on your wallet. Make the necessary swaps to have equivalent values of the farmable pair. Next, add both tokens to a liquidity pool in exchange for LP tokens. Finally stake your LP tokens in a farm to start generating yield.

The process is tedious, time consuming, and creates a huge barrier to entry for new users. Laguna simplifies this entire process by allowing users to deposit a single asset to get started farming.

Maximizing Gains Through Auto-Compounding

If you've been around finance long enough, you have heard of the power of compounding. To put it into perspective, 100 $USDC deposited into a Raydium pool at 1000% APR generates 1000 $USDC a year, but by compounding daily your returns jump to ~1,925,000 $USDC. That's a ~1900% bonus!

While incredibly powerful, Solana users currently have to compound their gains manually. As a result, users may miss out on earning the highest yield possible. Laguna's product ensures the best yield optimization by automating this entire process.

Building Composable Infrastructure for Community Led Strategies

Laguna provides the infrastructure and liquidity to enable seamless generation, implementation, and execution of community-developed strategies. By directly aligning incentives, we seek to attract the best minds in crypto to build on our platform, benefitting all Laguna users as a result.
