Jones DAO

Jones DAO is a comprehensive ecosystem of yield-generating vaults, built to provide both retail and institutional users with simple access to powerful DeFi strategies. Designed with composability, efficiency, and transparency at its core, Jones DAO allows users to earn yields by depositing into vaults that automate advanced strategies such as leveraged GLP farming, auto-compounded AURA staking, and Smart LP liquidity provisioning. The platform is deployed across major chains, including Arbitrum and Mainnet, ensuring broad accessibility and low fees.

The project was created to serve three main user groups: individuals who want passive exposure to high-yield strategies without the hassle, those who prefer liquid staking derivatives over locked assets, and protocols seeking to earn additional returns on treasury holdings. Jones Vaults generate returns through automated systems, eliminating the need for manual oversight while maximizing capital efficiency. These vaults span multiple categories including Smart LP strategies for Uniswap V3, auto-compounding vaults like jAURA and jHYPER, and complementary vault pairs like jGLP and jUSDC.

The jGLP vault offers users amplified exposure to GLP (GMX liquidity provider token) by leveraging deposits with collateral borrowed from the jUSDC vault. This synergy enables jGLP depositors to earn enhanced ETH-based rewards, while jUSDC users earn reliable USDC-based yields by acting as lenders in the system. This innovative design enables yield enhancement and capital efficiency that outperforms many traditional “delta-neutral” models. Additionally, users can opt-in to auto-compounding their earnings for increased long-term performance.

Other key offerings include jAURA, an Ethereum Mainnet strategy built on integrations with Aura Finance, Balancer, and Hidden Hand. This vault auto-compounds AURA tokens without user intervention, while offering both liquid (wjAURA) and non-tokenized options. Similarly, jHYPER leverages Blast-based protocols like Hyperlock and Thruster to auto-compound HYPER tokens. Both systems use a dual vault architecture to provide high yield or composable liquid staking tokens, depending on the user’s needs.

Competitors in the space include Ribbon Finance, and Yearn. However, Jones DAO distinguishes itself through its modular vault design, deep protocol integrations, and focus on enabling passive yet high-performing DeFi strategies in both bull and bear markets.

Jones DAO provides numerous benefits and features that make it one of the most versatile and efficient protocols in the DeFi vault ecosystem:

• One-Click DeFi Strategies: Users can access complex, institutional-grade yield strategies with a single click using Jones DAO vaults.
• Composability with jAssets: Depositors receive yield-bearing tokens like jGLP or jUSDC, which can be used across DeFi for lending, borrowing, or liquidity provisioning.
• Auto-Compounding Vaults: Strategies like jAURA and jHYPER automatically reinvest rewards, maximizing APY over time without manual intervention.
• Smart LP for Uniswap V3: Simplifies managing V3 liquidity positions across multiple chains with optimized, automated strategies.
• Risk-Aligned Yield Options: Offers both risk-on vaults like jGLP and risk-off alternatives like jUSDC, suiting all types of users and market conditions.
• Protocol Sustainability: A thoughtful incentive structure redistributes withdrawal fees back to vault users, rewarding long-term participants and supporting vault sustainability.
