Our Vision
Dealing with money in TradFi is too much work for too little reward. It's not your imagination; the system monetizes adding friction in moving our own money.
Juniper replaces your entire financial stack with an automated smart wallet and connected services. We build tools that let you automate your financial life, always 100% in your custody and control, faster, cheaper, and better than TradFi ever could.
TradFi's take rates are our opportunity, together.

FAQs
No, your assets remain in a wallet that only you control.
Juniper runs entirely on-chain in full transparency.
Export your wallet's private keys for safe keeping or to use your own wallet.
Juniper allows you to spend up to 70% of the value of your crypto.
For example, if you stake 10 ETH, you can get up to 7 ETH's worth of spending money. Note that the closer you get to the maximum usage, the more likely it is that a fluctuation in the price of your deposited assets could cause your collateral to be sold.
See "What happens if the value of my asset declines?" for more details.
Juniper's rates are low because your crypto secures the money you spend.
For ETH-like assets (ETH, wstETH, rETH), the Juniper wallet uses the yield generated by staking ETH to offset the cost of spending USDC.
If you deposit WBTC, OP, AAVE, etc. or other non-yield bearing tokens, you can't offset the rate with staking yield, but you can still use these assets to increase your spending power.
No, all you need is ETH, WBTC, OP, LINK, or AAVE.

Absolutely, it's your money!
For non-crypto, regular US bank cards (coming soon), you will need to personally verify your identity in order to receive money.
Yes, Juniper works for everyone in the world, except in the countries listed below under "Is there anywhere I can't use Juniper".
Make payments on your own schedule.
Instead of setting fixed payment dates, Juniper focuses on maintaining a balance between your spending and the value of your staked assets. See "How much can I spend" for more details.
Unlike selling crypto to fund your debit card, a Juniper wallet spends stablecoins that are worth $1 when converted to fiat — which isn't a taxable event.
If you repay using USDC or fiat, that's not taxable.
If you repay using crypto, it's sold for USDC, and that is considered taxable.
Consult your tax advisor for further guidance.
A simple way to consider the ratio between spending and assets is that if you spend 20% of the value of your assets, you can withstand an 80% decline in the value of your assets before you should repay or add additional collateral.
Juniper will stop refilling your card if and when your money spent approaches 70% of the value of your crypto. This is to avoid having your crypto sold to cover the money you've already received.
Should the value of your assets decline further, your collateral will be sold, and your money spent will reset to zero until you deposit more assets.
Yes, your assets are in a self custodial wallet for which you have the keys - not us.
You'll need to repay any money you've spent before you can withdraw the crypto that secures it.
Juniper does not provide service to Cuba, Syria, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Crimea, and certain disputed territories within Ukraine. Consult your exchange debit card provider for further restrictions and details.
