Liquidity providers can’t easily compare APRs, fees, and volume across Cardano DEXs. Existing aggregators focus on traders, leaving LPs without clear tools to find the best pools.
We aim to build a Cardano DEX LP aggregator for liquidity providers (whereas existing aggregators are for traders), helping them find the best pools and LP splits for maximum yield and minimal risk.

Risk Management
Describe what makes your idea innovative compared to what has been previously funded (whether by you or others).
Unlike past funded DEX aggregators or DeFi projects, which focus on trade execution and best swap prices, our solution is built for liquidity providers. It compares pools across multiple DEXs by APR, fees, volume and various risk metrics, then lets users provide liquidity directly through one interface. This shifts the aggregator concept from trader-focused to LP-focused, helping providers find the most efficient pools while boosting liquidity depth across the Cardano ecosystem.
Describe what your prototype or MVP will demonstrate, and where it can be accessed.
Our MVP will show a working Liquidity DEX Aggregator that finds the best pools for LPs across several Cardano DEXs, ranked by APR, fees, volume and a self-defined risk metric. Users can select a pool and provide liquidity through a single transaction using our interface. It will run on Cardano testnet, with a publicly available link so anyone can test, review, and verify the functionality.
Describe realistic measures of success, ideally with on-chain metrics.
Success will be measured by testnet and later mainnet adoption. Key metrics include: number of liquidity provision transactions routed through the aggregator, total ADA/token volume provided via our contracts, number of unique LP wallets using the feature, and the variety of DEXs integrated. Growth in on-chain liquidity depth for targeted pools, along with repeat usage by LP wallets, will show real impact and confirm the tool’s value to the Cardano ecosystem.
Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem
We will build a Liquidity DEX Aggregator focused on liquidity providers, not traders. The tool will scan multiple Cardano DEXs, collect and standardize data on APR, fees, volume, and historical performance, then rank the best pools for yield and efficiency. Moreover, we will define a risk metric by considering audits, past performance etc. to help liquidity providers make a more informed and safe decision. Unlike current aggregators, which focus on swap prices, this platform will let users provide liquidity directly into top pools from a single interface. By making it easy to compare and act on opportunities, it will help LPs earn more, improve liquidity distribution, and strengthen the overall depth and efficiency of Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem.
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
Our project will make it easier for liquidity providers to find and join the most rewarding pools on Cardano while better estimating the risk when providing liquidity. This will help users earn more from their capital and reduce the risk of poor pool choices. By improving how liquidity is distributed across DEXs, the platform will deepen order books, lower slippage for traders, and create a healthier DeFi environment. This helps accelerating liquidity provision to Cardano which ultimately is attractive to new users, traders and developers.
What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?
The MuesliSwap team has already built and deployed complex DEX features. We have experience in both on-chain and off-chain components. We will validate feasibility with live testnet integration before mainnet launch.
Milestone Title
Technical Architecture & DEX Integration Plan
Milestone Outputs
A complete technical document for how the aggregator will work, including system architecture, data flow, list of supported DEXs, and how the system will talk to our API, DEX smart contracts for data and construct the necessary transactions.
Acceptance Criteria
The document must explain every step from data fetching to liquidity routing, name at least 3 supported DEXs, and include the technical details needed for development to begin with. It will be shared as a PDF document.
Evidence of Completion

Milestone Title
Off-chain Aggregation Engine
Milestone Outputs
Working backend service that collects pool and liquidity data from multiple Cardano DEXs, standardizes formats, calculates rankings, and makes this data available through an API for the frontend and contracts.
Acceptance Criteria
Service must fetch live liquidity data from at least three different DEXs, refresh regularly, calculate a ranked list of pools, and be able to output results in a clear, machine-readable JSON format that can be included in our frontend

Milestone Title
Liquidity Router
Milestone Outputs
Backend tool that allows a user to provide liquidity into one or more selected pools directly from the aggregator, with logic to handle routing and transaction batching. The liquidity router will construct the necessary transactions to enable users to provide liquidity and provide live quotes for liquidity provision. The liquidity router will also be available in the form of an API
Acceptance Criteria
A functioning liquidity router. This will beproofed by sharing live access to the liquidity router being available as a publicly accessible API. Moreover, we will share a test document on GitHb providing transactions and examples constructed by the Liquidity Router.

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?
The budget is focused entirely on development and delivering a working proof-of-concept. No funds are wasted on unnecessary overhead. The output will be a tool benefiting all liquidity providers and substantially support the growth of the whole Cardano ecosystem.
