A DeFi dashboard that shows real yield,
after fees, after risk, not before
Most DeFi dashboards show a yield number that ignores fees, impermanent loss and gas. That number is wrong the moment a user checks it against their wallet. We build the position tracker to show real, after-cost numbers first. The charts come second.
The number that is wrong the moment you check it
A DeFi dashboard aggregates a user’s positions across lending protocols, liquidity pools and staking into one view. The only version worth building shows real yield: the number after fees, after impermanent loss on a liquidity pool, after the gas spent entering and exiting a position. A gross APY headline is marketing, not a dashboard.
This fits a crypto product adding portfolio visibility for its users. It also fits a team managing enough DeFi exposure themselves to need one real-numbers view instead of five protocol tabs.
What is inside
Position aggregation covers the protocols your users actually hold: lending, liquidity pools, staking. It reads from on-chain data and protocol subgraphs, rather than a single third-party API that might lag or miscategorize a position. Real yield calculation nets out protocol fees, impermanent loss on LP positions, and the gas cost of entering and exiting. The number on screen matches what a user would actually realize if they closed the position today.
Liquidation risk alerts for leveraged positions get calculated against the protocol’s actual liquidation threshold, not a generic percentage. Historical performance charting, per position and in aggregate, lets a user see whether a strategy is actually working over time, rather than relying on a single snapshot. A watchlist feature lets a user track a protocol or pool they do not currently hold. That is useful for deciding where to move funds next, without opening five separate protocol sites.
How we build it
We start with the protocol list your users actually touch. Each protocol’s position data, fee structure and liquidation logic differ enough that a generic adapter produces generic, often wrong, numbers. Real-yield calculation is the part we build and test most carefully. A dashboard that overstates returns is worse than no dashboard. It actively misleads a decision.
Liquidation alerting gets built against the protocol’s real threshold logic. We test it against historical liquidation events where data allows, not a simple price-drop percentage that misses the actual mechanism. We apply the same analytical discipline here that we use on our own analytics work across other industries. Numbers a team can act on, not a number that looks good in a screenshot.
We validate the real-yield calculation against each protocol’s actual historical data where available, comparing our computed number to what a careful manual calculation would produce. This is the one number on the dashboard that, if wrong, actively misleads a financial decision. A working version is demoed weekly against live protocol data, so discrepancies surface early rather than after launch. We also build in a visible data-freshness indicator. A user can tell at a glance whether a number reflects the current block, or a slightly stale cache during a network slowdown.
Timeline and price
| Tier | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| MVP | from $3,000 | Core flow, one platform or chain, ready to test with real users |
| Production | from $6,500 | Full feature set, handover docs, support available as ongoing work |
| Full control (handover-ready) | from $7,500 | Same scope, built and documented for your own team to run with zero dependency on us |
Timeline: 3 to 6 weeks for an MVP. Production builds typically run longer depending on integrations.
What you own at the end
The data pipeline and historical database sit in your own infrastructure. The dashboard front end is in your repository. The product only reads public chain data and the user’s own connected wallet, so there is no custody question to resolve at handover. You are not taking on a liability you did not have before. The yield-calculation methodology itself is documented in plain terms. Your team can explain to a user exactly why a number is what it is, instead of treating it as a black box.

FAQ
How much does a DeFi dashboard cost?
A dashboard tracking positions across two or three protocols with real-yield calculation starts at $3,000. A fuller build covering many protocols, historical charting and liquidation alerts runs $6,500 to $7,500.
How long does it take?
3 to 4 weeks for a dashboard covering a defined set of protocols. 5 to 6 weeks for broader protocol coverage with historical performance charting and alerting.
What is the stack?
Python or Node backend pulling on-chain data and protocol-specific APIs or subgraphs. PostgreSQL or TimescaleDB for historical performance. Redis for live price caching, and a Next.js front end with wallet-based login.
Who owns the dashboard and its data?
You do. The data pipeline, historical records and front end all sit in your own repository and database. We never take custody of user funds, keys or positions. The dashboard only reads public chain data and the connected wallet's own balances.
What support is included after launch?
30 days of fixes as protocols update their contracts or APIs, plus a handover document on the data pipeline. Adding new protocols as your users ask for them is available as ongoing work.
