Users struggle to manage multiple DeFi positions efficiently - they miss rebalancing opportunities, hold losing positions too long, and can’t track performance across protocols. Build portfolio management tools that give users institutional-grade capabilities to optimize their entire DeFi strategy.

​
What You’ll Build

  • Portfolio dashboards that track performance across all DeFi positions
  • Automated rebalancing that maintains optimal allocations
  • Risk management systems that protect capital during downturns
  • Analytics that help users make data-driven investment decisions

​
Why Portfolio Management Tools Create Sticky Users

Scattered positions: Users lose track of investments across multiple protocols
Poor timing: Manual rebalancing leads to suboptimal entry/exit points
Emotional decisions: No systematic approach to position management
Limited insights: Can’t see true performance or compare strategies Portfolio management tools solve these problems by providing a unified interface for managing all DeFi investments with professional-grade analytics and automation.

Dynamic Position Sizing

// Kelly Criterion for optimal position sizing
class PositionSizer {
  calculateOptimalSize(opportunity, portfolioSize, riskTolerance) {
    const winProbability = opportunity.successProbability;
    const avgWin = opportunity.expectedReturn;
    const avgLoss = opportunity.maxDrawdown;
    
    // Kelly Criterion formula
    const kellyPercent = (winProbability * avgWin - (1 - winProbability) * avgLoss) / avgWin;
    
    // Apply risk tolerance modifier
    const adjustedPercent = kellyPercent * riskTolerance;
    
    // Cap at maximum position size
    const maxPositionSize = 0.20; // 20% max
    const finalPercent = Math.min(adjustedPercent, maxPositionSize);
    
    return {
      recommendedSize: portfolioSize * finalPercent,
      kellyPercent,
      adjustedPercent,
      reasoning: this.explainSizing(kellyPercent, finalPercent)
    };
  }
}

Professional Portfolio Management Best Practices

​
The 90/10 Rule for DeFi Portfolios

90% systematic, 10% opportunistic
  • Core Holdings (70%): Established protocols with consistent yields
  • Satellite Positions (20%): Higher-risk opportunities for enhanced returns
  • Cash/Stable Buffer (10%): Dry powder for opportunities and risk management

​
Performance Benchmarking

const benchmarks = {
  // Risk-free rate (stablecoin lending)
  riskFree: 0.05,        // 5% APY
  
  // Market benchmarks
  defiIndex: 0.15,       // DeFi protocol average
  hodlBTC: 0.12,         // Bitcoin holding return
  hodlETH: 0.18,         // Ethereum holding return
  
  // Strategy benchmarks
  simpleYield: 0.20,     // Basic yield farming
  balancedPortfolio: 0.25 // Balanced DeFi portfolio
};

// Portfolio must beat relevant benchmarks risk-adjusted
const requiredOutperformance = {
  vsRiskFree: 0.10,      // Must beat risk-free by 10%
  vsRelevantBenchmark: 0.05 // Must beat benchmark by 5%
};

Success Metrics That Matter

Avoid These Portfolio Mistakes

❌ Over-diversification: 20+ micro positions increase gas costs without risk reduction
❌ Under-diversification: 2-3 positions create concentration risk
❌ Chasing performance: Switching strategies based on short-term results
❌ Ignoring correlations: Positions that move together don’t provide diversification
❌ No rebalancing: Letting winners become too large and losers drag down performance ✅ Sweet spot: 5-8 well-researched positions with regular rebalancing and risk management Next: Learn about DeFi protocol development to create new investment opportunities, or explore governance and staking to participate in protocol decision-making.
