Billions Idle, Yield Uncaptured
The biggest problem in DeFi today isn’t that yield doesn’t exist. It’s that so much of it never gets captured. Capital sits idle. Spreads go uncaptured. The tools to route between protocols and harvest the best returns either don’t exist or live in silos. Three numbers tell the story: $9.2B: Solana DeFi TVL is fragmented across protocols with no single tool routing between them to find the best yield. Your capital lands in one place and stays there, even when better opportunities exist elsewhere. $10B+: DEX perp open interest runs across multiple venues. Each one has a different funding rate and a different settlement clock. The spread between them is structural. Almost nobody is capturing it. 80%: Of available yield is left on the table by users who lack cross-protocol tooling. They can’t compare venues, can’t arbitrage funding gaps, and can’t deploy into the best pools without juggling a dozen apps. Below we break down the specific pain points (liquidity provisioning, strategy execution, and more) and how Paystream fixes them.Liquidity Provisioning Layer
The Fragmentation Problem
The Problem: Want to provide liquidity? You’ll need:- One app to create positions
- Another app to see analytics
- A third tool to track performance
- Multiple tabs open just to manage one position
The Manual Work Problem
The Problem: Managing liquidity positions is like having a second job. You need to:- Constantly check your positions
- Manually rebalance when prices move
- Set take profit and stop loss levels
- Monitor everything across different protocols
The Analytics Problem
The Problem: Want to know if a pool is worth your time? You’ll need to:- Visit multiple websites
- Calculate scores manually
- Compare data from different sources
- Hope you’re making the right decision
The Scattered Portfolio Problem
The Problem: Your positions are everywhere. Some on Meteora, some on Raydium. To see everything you own, you need to:- Log into multiple platforms
- Remember which positions are where
- Manually track your total PnL
- Hope you didn’t forget about any positions
