What is Dappio?
Dappio aims to build the best one-stop DeFi/NFT yield aggregator on Solana through combinatorial innovation.
In addition to traditional DeFi features such as token swapping (Swap), yield farming (Farm), lending (Lend), and leveraged strategies (Vault), Dappio also supports a range of staking yield operations for NFTs.
Currently, DeFi projects on Solana are emerging rapidly, with different projects offering varying yields, often leaving users overwhelmed.
Dappio consolidates the best yields across the Solana ecosystem—including mining rewards, lending, and staking—into a single platform, enabling users to compare APYs and interest rates of major projects on Solana, making yield generation more intuitive and convenient.
To integrate DeFi and NFT-Fi projects on Solana, Dappio has developed an aggregation gateway in SDK form—called the Universal Rabbit Hole—to connect other projects on Solana. This SDK links major Solana projects into Dappio, allowing any developer to use this SDK tool to build on top of Dappio.
What Are the Features of Dappio?
- One-Stop Yield Farming
Dappio aggregates major DeFi protocols on Solana, enabling users to earn returns from farming, lending, and leveraged strategies—all without needing to jump between various platforms to mine different tokens or generate yields.
- User-Friendly Experience
With Dappio’s one-click entry and exit for yield farming, users can quickly provide LP and earn returns across different Solana protocols.
- Customizable Strategies
Users can seamlessly navigate major protocols on Solana via various yield leverage pools, including leveraged pools, strategies, yield farming, lending, and NFTs.
- Portfolio Dashboard
Dappio provides professional tools to calculate users’ APY across different protocols and monitor portfolio performance and NFT holdings.
Dappio's Products and Services
- Dashboard
Dappio features a dashboard to view and manage portfolios, including wallets, farming, lending, strategies, and leveraged pools. After connecting their wallet, users see their total net worth, current rewards, and projected earnings. The dashboard also enables easy tracking of trading volume and APY across Solana and includes a one-click reward claim feature.
- Token Swap
Dappio aggregates major DEXs (decentralized exchanges) on Solana. Users can trade confidently without leaving the platform, comparing exchange rates across different DEXs and centralized exchanges.
- Yield Farming
In the Farming Club, users can stake LP tokens and earn token rewards. Dappio offers a one-click farming button, allowing users to easily add or withdraw LP tokens, single assets, or USDC at any time. Dappio integrates high-liquidity AMM token pools from Raydium and Saber on Solana, providing a seamless one-stop DeFi farming experience. Users can sort and select different protocols by TVL or APR.
- Lending
Through Dappio’s lending feature, users can access major Solana-based lending protocols like Solend and Larix, easily selecting those with higher APYs.
- Leverage Pools
Leverage Pools are optimized yield-maximizing farming pools that automate liquidity mining. As a core feature of Dappio, Leverage Pools deploy users' crypto assets into multi-strategy combinations to earn compounding returns.
Liquidity mining is a time-consuming and costly activity. Therefore, if you don’t want to spend hours searching for optimal yield opportunities or pay high gas fees to move funds, using Leverage Pools is your best option.
Solana Integration Gateway — Universal Rabbit Hole
Dappio aggregates major DeFi and NFT functionalities on Solana and has developed NFT staking capabilities, which involve numerous functions and projects. Integrating so many projects inevitably brings complexity. To address this, Dappio introduced a gateway initiative to unify Solana projects, aptly named the Universal Rabbit Hole.
The Universal Rabbit Hole is actually an open-source standard framework SDK. It provides developers with a plug-and-play "gateway" framework for a basket of DApps, enabling them to build novel use cases and fully unlock DeFi’s potential.

Like LEGO bricks, the Universal Rabbit Hole is composable. Developers can use it to combine DeFi and NFT applications on Solana, meaningSolana developers can easily assemble their projects together without building everything from scratch.
Leveraging composability, the Universal Rabbit Hole unlocks previously unimaginable DeFi/NFT use cases and accelerates DeFi innovation across the entire Solana ecosystem. For example, developers could use Universal Rabbit Hole to connect Raydium Swap + Saber LP + Tulip Vaults and create an innovative DeFi product, giving users more choices and better experiences.
Dappio has already integrated several major protocols on Solana, including yield farming (Farm), lending (Money Market), leverage (Leverage), token swap (Swap), and vaults (Vaults). Instead of studying each protocol’s SDK individually, developers can save significant time by using the Universal Rabbit Hole.
Currently available adapters in Universal Rabbit Hole include:
-
Raydium (Farm/Pool)
-
Saber (Farm/Pool)
-
Orca (Farm/Pool)
-
Lifinity (Farm/Pool)
-
Jupiter (Swap)
-
Solend (Money Market)
-
Larix (Money Market)
-
Tulip (Money Market/Vault)
-
Francium (Leverage Farm)
-
Dappio (Vault)
NFT Staking and $NFTU Token
NFT staking is one of Dappio’s key features.
NFTs are digital assets and can participate in certain DeFi functions, most notably staking. Beyond that, integration with DeFi will unlock greater potential and broader applications for NFTs.
Solana is one of the fastest-growing NFT communities. To bridge various NFT projects on Solana and strengthen connections among different communities, Dappio introduced a universal NFT currency for Solana, $NFTU (Universal NFT), designed to capture value across the entire Solana NFT ecosystem.
Simply put, users from different NFT projects can stake their NFTs on Dappio to earn $NFTU.
Holders of $NFTU will have the following rights:
-
Participate in NFT auctions
-
Join NFT lottery pools
-
Access exclusive events
-
Mint future NFT airdrops
-
Purchase GameFi items
-
Breeding, reproduction, and character upgrades
Currently, besides supporting Dappie Gang NFT staking, Dappie Staking also allows staking Sovana NFTs and Monkey Kingdom NFTs to earn $NFTU. More NFT projects are expected to be added soon for $NFTU earning.
Why aren’t all NFT projects opened for staking at once?
Perhaps due to differences in rarity systems and other details across projects, targeted deployment is required.
What is Dappie Gang NFT?
Dappie Gang NFT is a collection of 6,666 rabbit-themed NFTs. These represent unique GameFi characters that will be used in games currently under development by Dappie. Each Dappie Gang NFT has varying rarities based on skins, expressions, tattoos, headwear, clothing, etc. All holders of Dappie Gang NFTs have governance rights over the project’s direction, including deciding the future GameFi roadmap, proposing which games get character integrations, and gaining early access to special events. This suggests Dappio will likely introduce concrete GameFi gameplay in the future.
When users purchase a Dappie Gang NFT, they’re not just buying a profile picture or artwork—they’re joining a powerful community. Dappie Gang NFT holders receive exclusive benefits, early access to future DeFi/GameFi features, and privileged IDO opportunities, including:
-
DeFi fee discounts
-
Double DeFi yields
-
Token airdrops
-
Eligibility for Dappio IDOs
How Does $NFTU Differ From Dappie Gang NFT?
Now you might wonder: we have both $NFTU and Dappie Gang NFT—what’s the difference?
Dappie Gang NFT is an NFT token circulating within the Dappio ecosystem. Its primary role is to serve specific functions inside Dappio, such asacting as a GameFi character in games currently being developed by Dappio. It helps determine the future GameFi roadmap and provides benefits like fee discounts and doubled yields in Dappio’s DeFi offerings, along with airdrops and IDO eligibility.We can regardDappie Gang NFT as Dappio’s governance NFT.
$NFTU primarily serves to bring external users into the Dappio ecosystem—users can stake non-Dappio NFTs (not limited to Dappio’s own NFTs) on Dappio to earn $NFTU. The reason for creating $NFTU (Universal NFT) is to encompass a broader NFT community.
If only Dappie Gang NFTs could be staked to earn NFTU, the community would be too closed off—first because Dappie Gang NFT supply is limited, and second because many users hold NFTs from other projects. Dappio attracts these external users by granting $NFTU special privileges such as eligibility for NFT auctions, NFT raffles, exclusive events, NFT airdrops, purchasing in-game items in Dappie GameFi, breeding, and character upgrades.
Dappie Gang NFT and $NFTU work together through internal-external synergy to jointly build Dappio’s large-scale ecosystem integrating DeFi, NFTs, and GameFi.

Conclusion
Currently, discussions about composability mostly focus on infrastructure layers—such as consensus, settlement, data availability, and application layers of blockchains.
What Dappio is doing appears to be another form of composability:
-
On one hand, combining various traditional DeFi functions;
-
On the other, integrating DeFi, NFT, and GameFi functionalities.
Through this combinatorial innovation, Dappio aims to build a comprehensive platform with significant demand and vast potential.
Of course,Dappio’s future success will depend not only on its own development and operations but also heavily on the growth of the Solana ecosystem.
NFTs have begun to emerge prominently. In the near future, with the explosion of metaverse and GameFi, NFTs will find broader applications, potentially becoming a key breakthrough point for Dappio.
