Dune Launches DeFi Positions API for Multi-Chain Portfolio Tracking

Dune's new DeFi Positions API delivers real-time position data across 7 EVM chains in under one second, covering Aave, Uniswap, and major protocols.
Dune has released a DeFi Positions API that aggregates lending, liquidity, and yield vault positions across seven EVM chains through a single endpoint. The tool targets wallet developers who've struggled with the fragmented nature of on-chain position data.
The API covers Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Unichain, BSC, Polygon, and Avalanche at launch, with HyperEVM support expected in Q2. Position data refreshes in under one second, according to Dune's documentation.
What Problem Does This Solve?
Wallet teams face a genuine headache when displaying DeFi positions. Every protocol structures data differently—a Compound cToken, a Uniswap V3 NFT, and an Aave deposit all require custom parsing logic. Most wallet developers either skip DeFi positions entirely or dedicate months of engineering time to indexing individual protocols.
Dune's approach translates raw blockchain data into structured position information. A Uniswap V3 NFT becomes a liquidity position with tick ranges and unclaimed rewards. A cToken shows up as a lending position with supply APY attached.
Protocol Coverage
The API supports major DeFi primitives:
- Lending: Aave family, Compound family, Moonwell
- Liquidity: Uniswap family, Velodrome, Aerodrome
- Yield Vaults: ERC-4626 standard vaults, Pendle, Fluid
Dune claims coverage exceeds 95% compared to DeBank benchmarks, reaching 98% in most cases. New protocols can be added within days of customer requests, and additional EVM chains typically go live within a week.
Technical Details
Each API response includes current USD values, unclaimed rewards, protocol-specific metadata like collateral status and pool shares, plus aggregated portfolio values per chain and across all chains. Pricing happens at query time rather than relying on cached snapshots.
The company positions this as an extension of its existing Sim infrastructure, which already handles wallet balances and NFT data for enterprise clients.
Market Context
The release addresses a gap in blockchain data infrastructure. While Dune built its reputation on SQL-queryable blockchain analytics dashboards, this API product targets developers building consumer-facing applications. Competitors like DeBank offer similar position aggregation, but Dune is betting its existing data pipeline infrastructure and protocol relationships give it an edge on coverage speed and accuracy.
For wallet teams evaluating the tool, the key questions will be pricing relative to alternatives and how quickly Dune responds to protocol upgrade breakages—a persistent pain point in DeFi data products. The API is available now with free tier access for testing.
