**Grove Finance** successfully integrated the **JAAA fund** with minimal effort thanks to their prior experience with the **ERC-7540 standard** from previous JTRSY work. This demonstrates how **standardization streamlines onchain finance** operations: - Familiar standards reduce integration complexity - Previous experience with ERC-7540 made new fund adoption "very simple" - Shows the practical benefits of consistent technical frameworks The success builds on Grove Finance's collaborative approach to launching new funds, including JAAA and ACRDX, establishing a **replicable model** for future launches. This case study highlights how **technical standards create efficiency** in DeFi operations rather than requiring custom solutions for each integration.
