DeFi Saver: The All-in-One Interface for DeFi Management

What is DeFi Saver?

Introduction to DeFi Saver

DeFi Saver is a non-custodial, trustless all-in-one platform that facilitates DeFi position management. Users gain access to tools for automating strategies or maximizing yields across various DeFi protocols.

Key features include: lending strategy automation, one-click leverage management, a demo mode to test tools risk-free, yield and swap aggregators, a Recipe Creator for executing complex loops, and a multi-protocol dashboard to track positions across multiple blockchains.

The history of DeFi Saver dates back to 2019, well before DeFi went mainstream. Originally named CDP Saver, referencing MakerDAO's Collateralized Debt Positions (the only lending protocol at the time), the idea came from a personal experience: one founder nearly faced liquidation on a Maker position, inspiring a tool for automatic collateral/debt ratio adjustments. This birthed the first-ever automated leverage management tool in DeFi history.

Since then, the team has continuously expanded the platform, integrating numerous protocols (Compound, Aave, Morpho, Curve, Spark, Liquity, etc.), developing dedicated dashboards, and creating powerful tools like Loan Shifter, Automation, and the renowned Recipe Creator. All without ever resorting to over-marketing or chasing trends.

DeFi Saver also stands out for a rare but notable approach: the protocol has never launched a token for fundraising. It remains an exception in an ecosystem where tokens are often used as marketing tools or speculative instruments, sometimes at the expense of product quality.

Today, DeFi Saver is used by thousands of users on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism. It has facilitated over 100,000 transactions and more than $6 billion in volume since launch. Though not heavily publicized, the protocol has become a benchmark of robustness and utility in the Ethereum ecosystem, offering a clear interface, reliability, and a consistent focus on user security and autonomy.

Context and Solution

One of the major differences between Web2 and Web3 lies in how users interact with applications. In Web2, services like Facebook or Google control and centralize every aspect of user experience: identification, interface, and server-side execution.

Web3 breaks down this model by distributing tasks among various actors, granting users more options for applications and access tools, and giving developers more freedom. When a Web3 app is built, its rules are deployed immutably on the blockchain. From that point on, transaction execution relies entirely on the host blockchain. Furthermore, Web3 identity is based on open mechanisms like crypto wallets, meaning the protocol can function independently post-deployment.

Still, most teams offer a web interface to facilitate interaction with on-chain code. These sites typically rely on centralized infrastructure—even if some use decentralized hosting like IPFS. This may seem like a Web3 weakness but is actually a strength. Since project code is public on-chain, anyone can build their own interface (public or private) or even run their own node for direct and private access. The possibilities are nearly endless.

This is where DeFi Saver shines. Instead of separate interfaces for each protocol, DeFi Saver offers a single platform directly connected to many popular protocol contracts. These include Aave, Uniswap, Sky (MakerDAO), Morpho, Liquity, and others across four networks: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

But DeFi Saver goes further. It doesn’t just aggregate interfaces; it layers new functionality over existing protocols. Blockchain openness allows anyone to build smart contracts that interact with deployed protocols. DeFi Saver leverages this fully, offering tools to automate position management, access yields in one click, or test protocols via a demo account. And that’s just the beginning—we’ll explore the platform’s many features in the following sections.

How DeFi Saver Works

DeFi Saver is a constantly evolving project that regularly integrates new protocols. While it’s not possible to list every available feature, here are some representative examples of what the platform currently enables:

• Deposit and borrow on Aave with granular leverage management.
• Stake AAVE to earn emissions.
• Convert MKR to SKY.
• Deposit USDS into SSR (Sky Savings Rate) for up to 6.5% APR.
• Create Curve positions to obtain crvUSD.
• Manage a Trove on Liquity and open a Chicken Bond.
• Borrow from one of Morpho’s pools and adjust leverage.
• Deposit into Fluid to earn interest and FLUID emissions.
• Create and manage a Safe on Reflexer to use the RAI pseudo-stablecoin.

Some of these actions are relatively standard (like AAVE staking, identical to the native interface), while others—like adjusting leverage in one transaction—are complex. For instance, the Boost & Repay function lets users increase or reduce leverage on lending protocols in one click. Normally, this requires several manual steps: deposit collateral, borrow stablecoins, swap, redeposit, etc.

To simplify, accelerate, and secure these processes, DeFi Saver relies on a smart wallet—an intelligent contract-based wallet capable of executing multiple transactions in a single step. This enhances user experience and reduces liquidation risks during volatile market conditions.

The smart wallet is built on Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe), a leading standard for EVM smart wallets and multisigs. This ensures fund security and interface compatibility, even if DeFi Saver were to disappear. Users retain full access to their funds through other compatible frontends.

Another key integration: DeFi Saver uses Li.Fi’s aggregator to streamline cross-chain asset transfers, ensuring best execution and pricing. The platform also includes a meta-swap aggregator comparing rates across 1inch, Paraswap, Odos, Kyberswap, and 0x for optimal value

Features of DeFi Saver

As mentioned earlier, DeFi Saver doesn't just provide a unified interface but also offers additional features designed to simplify specific operations and optimize DeFi position management.

Exchange

DeFi Saver features a swap meta-aggregator that integrates several of the ecosystem's most popular aggregators, ensuring execution at the best available price. Currently included aggregators are: 1inch, Paraswap, Odos, Kyberswap, and 0x.

One of the major issues with traditional DEXs is their limitation to market orders, requiring users to constantly monitor prices to buy or sell assets. To address this, DeFi Saver has integrated more advanced execution modes inspired by traditional finance practices and already well-established on centralized exchanges:

• Limit Orders: Executes a buy or sell order only when the asset hits a specified price (e.g., buying 1 ETH at 2,000 USDC per ETH).
• DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging): Schedules recurring swaps (e.g., automatically buy 0.1 ETH every month).

Smart Savings

It's not always easy to know where to place your stablecoins to earn the best yields in DeFi. The Smart Savings feature aggregates opportunities from protocols like Morpho, Sky, and Yearn, allowing users to easily identify the most attractive pools based on their goals.

The interface displays real-time yields (up to 10% APR) and greatly simplifies comparison between strategies, making it especially useful for passive or beginner users.

ETH Saver

ETH Saver is an app developed by the DeFi Saver team to simplify leveraged staking. The principle is simple: you deposit a liquid staking token (LSD) into a lending protocol to borrow ETH, which is then swapped into LSD and redeposited as collateral. Since LSDs follow the value of ETH, the liquidation risk is relatively low, allowing for high leverage (up to x30).

Result: staking becomes much more profitable, with yields up to 100% APR. Naturally, these returns come with risks and are intended for advanced users only.

DeFi Saver automates the entire process and supports popular LSDs like rETH, cbETH, and wstETH, as well as restaking tokens like weETH and ezETH. It's also compatible with a wide range of platforms (Aave, Morpho, Spark, Compound), allowing users to tailor the strategy based on risk tolerance.

Loan Shifter

The Loan Shifter is a unique tool developed by DeFi Saver to simplify debt position management on lending protocols and CDPs. In one click, users can:

• Modify the collateral or debt of a loan;
• Migrate a position from one protocol to another (e.g., from Aave to Compound);
• Replace collateral with another asset (e.g., wstETH to ETH) without closing the position.

This feature is especially valuable during volatile markets for quickly adapting to changing rates or conditions.

Loan Shifter supports many lending platforms (Aave, Morpho, Spark, Compound) and various assets, including LSDs, offering significant flexibility.

Automation

DeFi Saver's Automation function allows users to automate DeFi position management by defining rules that execute automatically—useful for protecting against sudden market moves. Some actions that can be automated include:

• Dynamic leverage management to automatically maintain a health ratio within a defined range. When the price of collateral falls, part of the debt is repaid to increase the health ratio and prevent liquidation, and vice versa if the market favors the position.
• Stop Loss: automatically close a position if collateral drops below a critical threshold.
• Take Profit: automatically close a position if the asset exceeds a set price.
• Boost & Repay: automatically adjust leverage (increase or decrease) if an asset reaches a target price.

Notify

Notify lets users receive real-time alerts on their DeFi position status. It's especially useful for tracking loan health, anticipating liquidation, or being alerted when an automated action is triggered.

Users can set different alerts, such as:

• If their collateral level becomes risky;
• If their borrowing rate changes significantly;
• If an automated transaction has been executed.

Notify supports multiple communication channels, including Telegram and email, ensuring maximum responsiveness—even outside the app. This tool significantly enhances risk management, especially during volatile periods.

Recipe Creator

The Recipe Creator is one of DeFi Saver’s most powerful tools. It lets users design and execute complex strategies by combining multiple actions into a single transaction. This can include:

• Borrowing an asset;
• Swapping it for another;
• Adding it as collateral;
• Repaying a loan.

Each action is chained in a specific order, forming a personalized “recipe.” This system is ideal for optimizing advanced strategies while avoiding the friction of manual multi-step transactions.

The Recipe Creator also offers a catalog of predefined recipes, which users can edit or adapt as needed. It supports flash loans and allows interoperability between multiple protocols like Aave, Uniswap, Lido, Liquity, MakerDAO, etc.

Simulation Mode

Simulation Mode can be considered the platform's demo function. It allows users to test the full range of DeFi Saver functions without risking any capital. In this simulated environment, users can practice :

• Opening a leveraged loan position;
• Automating a management strategy;
• Testing a custom recipe with multiple steps.

This feature is especially popular among beginners looking to learn DeFi, but it’s equally valuable for experienced users who want to simulate strategies before going live.

Demo Mode supports DeFi Saver’s core mission: democratizing DeFi usage without compromising user safety.

DeFi Saver’s Business Model

To finance its development, DeFi Saver follows a transparent business model aligned with user interests. The platform only charges fees on specific operations—particularly those involving multiple technical steps or automation.

Here’s the current fee structure:

• Simple interactions with protocols (deposit, withdrawal, borrow, repay): no additional fees.
• Swaps between correlated assets (e.g., ETH ↔ stETH): 0.1%.
• Swaps between uncorrelated assets (e.g., DAI ↔ ETH): 0.25%.
• Advanced interactions (Boost, Repay, Leverage, etc.): 0.25%, with an additional 0.05% if the action is automated.

This model ensures that only users who leverage the most complex or high-performing features pay fees, while basic actions remain free aside from gas costs. It’s a balanced approach that encourages adoption while supporting long-term sustainability.

DeFi Saver thus generates revenue directly from real user activity, without relying on an inflationary native token or disguised ponzi mechanisms. This reflects a deliberate stance that runs counter to much of the broader DeFi ecosystem.
