Onboarding speed and API access for new DeFi projects

Starting to look at more active management strategies within DeFi, particularly around yield farming aggregators. I'm wondering what kind of onboarding experiences others have had when trying to integrate with different protocols for API access or setting up multi-sig wallets? It feels like some platforms are still quite clunky for anything beyond basic single-user interaction, which could really hinder quick deployment for new strategies. Any insights on the friction points for getting started with programmatic access on various chains?

This is a great point. I've noticed the same, especially with newer protocols that might have a fantastic APY but then the backend access feels really underdeveloped. Are there any specific protocols you've found to be surprisingly good or bad in terms of their API access for more advanced strategies?

Completely agree on the clunky onboarding. For API access, some protocols offer decent documentation, while others require digging through GitHub repos or Discord, which is not ideal for rapid integration.

Yeah, I've definitely run into that too. It feels like the tooling for more complex interactions, especially for things like multi-sig with external APIs, is still a bit behind. Have you found any particular protocols that stand out for their dev-friendly onboarding?
