Jones DAO

What is Jones DAO?

Jones DAO is a yield, strategy, and liquidity protocol that provides vaults enabling one-click access to institutional-grade strategies. These strategies aim to unlock liquidity and capital efficiency for decentralized finance (DeFi) through yield-bearing tokens. The platform caters to three main categories of users:

• Users who do not want to actively manage their strategies or are unsure where to start with the strategies deployed by the vaults.
• Users who prefer liquid tokens over locked tokens.
• Protocols that aim to earn additional yield on their treasury positions.

Jones Vaults

Jones DAO offers a variety of vaults for multiple tokens, platforms, and risk profiles. These vaults generate yield on the tokens deposited, providing users with access to some of the best yields in DeFi with just one click. The vaults are designed to automate sophisticated strategies, making them accessible even to those with limited experience in yield farming.

Jones Vault Types

The primary goal of Jones Vaults is to generate simple yield for users by automating complex strategies. Most Jones vaults offer the option to hold a liquid, composable token version of the strategy. The advanced strategy vaults simplify access to some of the most sophisticated strategies available in DeFi. Currently, Jones DAO offers two advanced strategy vaults:

• jUSDC: Provides superior USDC yield.
• jGLP: Offers amplified GLP yield via Smart Leverage.

These vaults work in tandem to deliver enhanced returns. Additionally, Jones DAO offers advanced autocompounding vaults to streamline the process of managing positions in token vote incentive markets. An example is the jAURA vault, which simplifies the vlAURA vote incentive process and allows users to earn significant yields without any effort.

jAssets

jAssets are fully composable, yield-bearing tokens designed to unlock liquidity and capital efficiency across DeFi. When a deposit is made to a Jones Vault, a jAsset token may be minted to represent the deposit. Upon withdrawal, the jAsset token is burned, and the deposit plus yield is received by the depositor. Examples of jAssets include jETH, jGLP, and jUSDC.

jAsset Liquidity Pools

jAssets can also have incentivized liquidity pools, such as jAsset pools. The ratio of jAsset is determined by the performance of the corresponding Jones Vault over time. These liquidity pools enable users to swap out of their Jones vault positions at any time at the prevailing market rate.

Implications of jAssets

• Unlock liquidity for tokens deployed in yield strategies.
• Enable third-party borrowing/lending for these strategies.
• Dramatically improve opportunities for productive DeFi treasuries via liquid jAsset pools.

What are the jGLP & jUSDC Vaults?

The jGLP and jUSDC vaults are designed to deliver transparent and consistent leveraged yield to users. They work together to amplify the yield generated by GLP for depositors. The jGLP vault provides Smart Leverage on the underlying GLP rewards rate, while the jUSDC vault offers transparent USDC yield without the inefficiencies of competing methods. Both vaults offer optional auto-compounding, allowing users to mint receipt tokens for jGLP and jUSDC. The jGLP vault accrues yield in ETH, and the jUSDC vault accrues yield in USDC.

Benefits

• Amplified jGLP yield streams provide users with an attractive source of enhanced yield.
• jUSDC builds a superior source of USDC yield on top of a battle-tested yield source, GLP.
• The architecture of jUSDC avoids inefficiencies found in “delta neutral” stablecoin yield strategies.
• The combination of jGLP and jUSDC offers optimal approaches to yield generation in both risk-on and risk-off markets.

Project Development

Jones DAO has launched Smart LP, a set of automated concentrated liquidity strategies designed to simplify managing V3 liquidity positions. This strategy suite caters to retail traders, protocols, exchanges, and funds seeking a straightforward and high-performance approach to concentrated liquidity.

Smart LP focuses on transparency and user adaptability, making V3 liquidity accessible and manageable for users with varying expertise levels. The complexities of managing V3 liquidity, such as understanding market dynamics and volatility, often pose challenges for retail traders, leading to higher impermanent loss or missed yield opportunities. Smart LP addresses these challenges by providing a hands-free solution.
