Aloe has a strong foundation of audited smart contracts. In theory, users can import, create, and manage Uniswap positions－using them as collateral for ordinary borrows, or getting up to 10x leverage on the positions themselves.

In practice, however, these features are either completely unavailable in the UI, or only surfaced if you *already have* Uniswap positions. The grant would allow us to address these issues and make Aloe a premier venue for Uniswap liquidity management.

New UI functionality would include:
1) Creating Uniswap positions from scratch, instead of just importing existing ones. Since The Graph has become unreliable, we would integrate Oku's API to show liquidity depth/ranges.
2) Claiming & reinvesting earned swap fees _without_ having to burn the whole position
3) 1-click (or few-click) rebalancing of positions that have gone out of range
4) Viewing position' performance w.r.t time and price
5) Queuing multiple actions to take place in a single transaction, e.g. {deposit collateral→borrow funds→create Uniswap position}

This functionality may sound simple, but it's complex behind the scenes and difficult to implement in the robust manner that DeFi requires.

Planning, development, and testing is estimated to take 24 engineer-weeks－around 2 months given our team of 3 (all US-based). At $63/hour, the cost comes to $60,480.

In addition to these new features, it's important for users to be able to explore the platform and learn how to use it before committing to real onchain transactions. To this end, the remaining $14,520 will go towards a "Simulation Mode" (see Instadapp's UI as an example) based on Tenderly forks.

Simulation Mode will automatically switch the user to Arbitrum, and all simulated/demo actions will be based on Arbitrum liquidity. Of all Aloe's deployments, Arbitrum has the most diverse selection of high-quality Uniswap pools, so this choice will create the richest possible experience within the Simulation.

Enabling this mode will take an additional 4 engineer-weeks ($10,080)－around 1 week for our team. The other $4,440 will be spent on the Tenderly Pro subscription, keeping the Simulation Mode live for at least 4 months.
