The Challenge

DeFi protocols want more users and TVL, but face adoption barriers:
  • Token Requirements: Users must hold your specific token
  • High Friction: Multi-step onboarding scares away users
  • Liquidity Silos: Capital locked in specific assets
  • Complex UX: Users need to understand your protocol
  • Limited Reach: Only crypto-native users can access you

Why Darex is Better

Accept Any Token

Users can deposit with USDC, USDT, ETH, or any token - Darex automatically swaps to what your protocol needs.

One-Click Deposits

Turn a 6-step onboarding flow into a single transaction. Users go from “interested” to “deposited” in seconds.

Broader User Base

Attract users from wallets, exchanges, and AI agents who integrate Darex - not just protocol-specific users.

Universal Discovery

Your protocol appears in Darex’s instrument registry, making you discoverable to all Darex integrators.

Better Conversion

Lower friction = higher conversion. Users who don’t bounce on step 3 of your deposit flow.

Example Deposit Flow

Without Darex: User wants to deposit to your protocol:
  1. Learn about your protocol
  2. Get the specific token you require
  3. Approve token to your contract
  4. Understand your deposit mechanism
  5. Execute deposit
  6. Result: 80% drop-off, frustrated users
With Darex: User wants to deposit to your protocol:
  1. Select your protocol from Darex interface
  2. Deposit with any token they have
  3. Result: High conversion, happy users
