U2U Network invests in BrownFi to strengthen the DeFi infrastructure

As blockchain infrastructure evolves, one thing becomes clear: DeFi is still too complex for most users.

High yields and capital efficiency are great in theory, but in practice, market makers aka liquidity providers are often left navigation tools designed for experts. The learning curve is steep. The risks — impermanent loss, out-of-range liquidity, arbitrage — are real. And the average users? They’re underserved.

At U2U Network, we’re building for the next wave of users — those who want performance and simplicity. That’s why U2U Foundation is proud to announce our investment in BrownFi, a next-generation DEX protocol designed to make capital-efficient DeFi accessible, intuitive, and effective for everyone.

BrownFi: High performance, low complexity

While most high-performance DEXs rely on complex liquidity provisioning strategies and demand constant micromanagement from makers, BrownFi flips the script. It combines the capital efficiency of CLMM models like Uniswap V3 with a frictionless UX, solving major pain points for average DeFi users and LPs.

Here’s what sets BrownFi apart:

From maker’s perspective:

• Customizable capital efficiency that’s 10–200x better than CPMM model used by Uniswap V2, helping increase capital productivity.
• Oracle-based pricing mechanism that ensures liquidity always covers the market price with elasticity, eliminating the “out-of-range” problem that frustrates LPs on CLMM models like Uniswap V3.
• Resistance to arbitrage and sandwich attacks, improving security and fairness for liquidity providers.
• Simple LP management and tailored market-making tools, specifically designed for average liquidity providers — not just advanced DeFi strategists. This allows them to maximize returns with minimum effort.

From taker’s perspective:

• Significantly reduce price impact and trading fees, offering competitive rates for takers.
• Smart trading services that will simplify trading decisions are coming in the near future.

The result is a DEX that doesn’t compromise between performance and ease-of-use. BrownFi delivers both.

Beyond capital: A strategic partnership

U2U Foundation is officially investing in BrownFi as part of their seed round, but this isn’t just a financial move. It’s a strategic alignment around a shared vision for the future of DeFi.

We’ll be actively supporting BrownFi’s marketing and business development efforts — helping them expand awareness, reach new communities, and scale across ecosystems.

More importantly, our teams will collaborate on deep product integration. BrownFi will become a key part of the U2U Network’s ecosystem, offering liquidity infrastructure to dApps, Subnets, and builders looking for a seamless DeFi layer.

What does this mean for U2U Network?

For U2U Network, this is about more than adding another DeFi protocol to our ecosystem. It’s about reinforcing our modular, DePIN-first infrastructure with a DeFi layer that’s efficient, scalable, and user-friendly.

BrownFi enables:

• More intuitive liquidity provisioning for projects launching on U2U.
• A concrete use case that demonstrates the power of U2U’s Subnet architecture.
• A strong foundation for onboarding both developers and retail users into DeFi without friction.

This partnership strengthens our position as a home for real-world, performance-driven blockchain applications and takes us one step closer to making decentralized infrastructure truly usable at scale.

Looking ahead

DeFi needs to evolve — and that evolution depends on protocols that are both technically sound and practically usable. BrownFi is building that. And at U2U, we’re excited to help bring it to life.

We’re just getting started.
