What is Juice Finance?

Juice Finance is a cross-margin DeFi application built on the Blast ecosystem Layer 2 structure. It offers cross-margin lending using Blast native rebasing tokens (ETH, WETH, and USDB) and features gas refund mechanics. The platform enhances users’ yield and point farming activities within the ecosystem by enabling composable leverage. Juice Finance aims to be the go-to platform for users seeking maximum yield. Its innovative protocol offers up to 300% leverage on ETH collateral, enabling users to achieve higher returns and point farming in the most well-vetted and popular Dapps within the Blast ecosystem, which is designed to help users accumulate high yields, high points, high airdrops, and high returns.

What is Point Farming?

In the crypto world, Point Farming refers to the process of earning points or rewards by participating in various activities on the platform. These points can often be accumulated through actions like staking, lending, or trading. These points are like ERC or BEP tokens but cannot be swapped or transferred outside of protocol, and they are also managed centrally by the issuer platform.

Key Features

The protocol offers every feature for users looking to maximize their yield potential. By leveraging Blast’s Layer 2 structure and native tokens, Juice Finance provides a seamless experience for lending, borrowing, farming, and more.

Lending

Earn passive APY by providing USDB or WETH liquidity without worrying about impermanent losses. Users also accumulate JUICE points.

Borrowing

Access up to 3x leverage by collateralizing WETH or an LRT, and reinvesting borrowed funds into integrated DeFi vaults for enhanced yields.

Farming Vaults

Deposit borrowed assets into JUICE Vaults that collaborate with protocols like Thruster, Hyperlock, Wasabi, and Particle to maximize returns.

Points and Yield Farming

The platform allows users to engage in yield farming and accumulate JUICE points. These points can be earned by participating in various activities in the protocol. Users can also earn partner points of their full deposit value if they use partner vaults in addition to Blast Gold points. The points names include Juice Points, Etherfi Points, EigenLayer Points, Hyperlock Points, Thruster Points, Blast Points, and Blast Gold Points.

Direct Access to Other Blast Protocols

Juice provides direct access to various farming protocols within the Blast ecosystem, such as EtherFi, Renzo, and Ethena. This integration simplifies the process of staking and farming.

Partnered with Top Liquidity Providers

Juice Finance collaborates with top liquidity providers to ensure strong liquidity for its users. These partnerships help maintain a stable and efficient market, providing users with better lending and borrowing conditions and access to high-quality liquidity pools.

Juice Finance Functionalities

Juice Finance offers a range of functionalities to enhance user experience and unlock new DeFi opportunities. While it primarily focuses on lending, borrowing, and yield farming, other key functionalities also play a crucial role

Users

The lending and borrowing protocol allows users to margin trade with up to 300% leverage across the Blast ecosystem. Users serve two primary roles in the protocol: lenders and borrowers. Each role is crucial to the platform’s ecosystem, contributing to its liquidity, stability, and growth.

Lenders

Lenders provide liquidity to the platform by depositing assets such as USDB or WETH into the liquidity pools. For liquidity, lenders earn an annual percentage yield (APY) with impermanent loss protection and Juice points, blast points, and Blast Gold points. This role is crucial for maintaining the platform’s liquidity and stability so that borrowing activities run smoothly.

Borrowers

Borrowers can leverage up to 300% of their collateral, such as WETH or LRT, to access USDB or WETH from the lending pools. After accessing borrowing tokens, users can use these tokens in the Blast ecosystem to maximize point & yield farming. Users can efficiently manage their borrowings and positions through a dedicated smart contract account.

Lending

The Juice Finance lending protocol works as a pool system where lenders can deposit USDB or WETH. These assets are then available for borrowers, who must post collateral to ensure the safety of the lenders’ funds. Lending on Juice Finance is passive, meaning lenders do not need to actively manage their investments and face no impermanent loss. On the other hand, lenders will also earn farming points.

Juice Finance assures the safety of the lenders. The borrowers must first collateralize their assets, like WETH or LRT, before accessing the lender’s funds. The collateralization process provides security for lenders’ funds, and if necessary, the collateral can be liquidated to repay the lenders. The collateralization ratios may vary based on the type of borrowing and associated risk parameters. All borrowers pay a lending fee (APR) to the pool, distributed pro-rata among all lenders based on their pool share.

On Juice, two lending options are available: USDB and WETH, and both are passive deposits.

• USDB Lending: Lenders can deposit USDB into this pool, which allows borrowers to use WETH as collateral and take out USDB loans.
• WETH Lending: This pool is designed for borrowers seeking WETH loans. These loans enable engagement with the platform’s LRT vaults, using collateral for further DeFi activities. The process involves swapping deposited WETH for LRTs on Thruster to provide liquidity for leveraged yield farming. Upon withdrawal, LRTs are swapped back to WETH. Smart contracts manage this entire mechanism, so users don’t see LRTs during the yield farming phase.

The interest rates for USDB and WETH lending pools vary based on the utilization of lender funds by borrowers. As fund utilization increases, so does the associated risk, which leads to a higher annual percentage rate (APR).

Borrowing

The borrowing process on Juice Finance is designed to be seamless and user-friendly. Borrowers on Juice Finance can leverage up to 3x by depositing WETH as collateral to borrow USDB from the platform’s pools. This borrowed USDB can be utilized across various vetted Blast ecosystem DeFi protocols and strategies, providing opportunities for yield farming and maximizing returns. However, borrowing from JUICE Finance carries risks, including the possibility of liquidation. If liquidation occurs, the borrowed funds and the deposited collateral are at risk of loss.

Like lending, the borrowing protocol is not passive; users must manage it actively. After creating a borrowing account, a smart contract known as the Borrower Credit Account is generated. The borrower manages this contract and handles essential functions such as receiving loans from the lending pool, interacting with various yield-generating strategies, and managing positions or loan repayments.

Users can manage their liquidation status, depending on the “Health Factor.” The Health Factor calculates equity by summing up collateral, investment, and credit values, requiring equity to exceed the loan value by a certain threshold to maintain solvency. If the Health Factor values are below 125% or close to it, liquidation may trigger. So borrowers must manage their collateral to keep its value above 125%.

Vaults

Vaults is for Juice Finance borrowers who can leverage their assets across the Defi protocol to optimize yield and point farming strategies. This flexibility enables borrowers to diversify their investments and choose the most suitable protocols to maximize returns. Borrowers have full flexibility in selecting their risk and vault strategies from a range of protocols, which means they can choose the strategies that best align with their investment goals and risk tolerance. But borrowers must understand that all trades and farming operations occur on third-party protocols such as Thruster, Hyperlock, and Particle, on which Juice Finance does not have control. Currently, Juice Finance has over 10 Vaults listed on the platform, with four integration types.

• Liquidity Pools: These pools facilitate trading and provide liquidity for various assets. Each pool has its own characteristics and risks.
• Leveraged Spot: Leveraged spot trading enables users to amplify their trading positions, potentially increasing profits but also magnifying losses.
• Perpetual Liquidity: Perpetual liquidity pools support perpetual swaps, a type of derivative contract, offering continuous trading opportunities.
• Managed Pools: These pools are actively managed by protocols to optimize returns, often employing sophisticated strategies.

Points

Juice Finance has adopted a points system to encourage and reward early users. As users engage with the protocol, they earn points that can be tracked within the platform. These points can provide additional benefits. The points system is available for both lenders and borrowers but varies depending on token types.

Fees

Juice Finance charges a certain fee depending on the interaction and strategy chosen within the protocol. These fees are used for treasury accumulation, supporting the protocol’s long-term growth, and providing future incentives for users. The collected fees also help establish and sustain the future DAO.

• Deposit Fee: This fee, typically 0.5% to 2%, is charged when entering a strategy.
• Lending Service Fee: This potential fee includes a spread fee within the Lend APY. It represents the cost borrowers pay to lenders on open loans.
• Liquidation Fees: When an account is liquidated, JUICE typically charges a 5% fee on the liquidation proceeds.
• Airdrop Fees: Applied to strategies that interact with external protocols, which are up to 10% on each airdrop allocation.

Juice Tokens

Juice is the native token of Juice Finance and will be used as a governance token for the protocol. In the future, the Juice DAO will have the authority to decide on various aspects of the protocol, such as implementing buy-back and burn mechanisms using part of the protocol fees. This governance structure will allow the community to directly impact the platform’s development and direction. The $Juice token was initially launched as a governance token for the JUICE Finance protocol. It is gradually evolving to serve as a utility token as well. This transition offers Juice additional functionalities beyond governance, such as staking and buyback.

• Token Name: Juice Finance
• Symbol: JUICE
• Type: Governance & Utility
• Chain: ERC-20 (on Blast L2)
• Circulating Supply: 171,777,778 JUICE
