Users from around the world should be able to easily access the benefits of decentralized finance. Yet in DeFi’s early days, you could really only be initiated to these benefits by manually figuring things out on your own through trial and error. This has kept accessibility at bay in kind!
What’s needed, then, is an advanced DeFi transaction builder made simple – a system where anyone can readily manage a range of different activities, from yield farming to leveraged positions and debt refinancing, from a single dashboard and regardless of skill level. Stepping up to the plate here is DeFi management solution DeFi Saver, which just launched the beginnings of such a system via its new powerful Recipe Creator feature.
Cooking up all things DeFi
The Recipe Creator is a transaction builder interface for creating and executing recipes. Simply put, recipes are blends of DeFi activities that can involve interactions between multiple DeFi apps and additionally utilize flashloans and token swaps.
A flashloan lets users borrow large amounts of crypto without collateral so long as the debt is paid back within the same transaction but, previously, flashloans were mostly isolated to the domain of DeFi experts. That’s all changing now that the Recipe Creator is letting anyone easily use these powerful tools to streamline multiple DeFi actions into single transactions, all through DeFi Saver’s audited, reputable, and user-friendly infrastructure.
The Recipe Creator itself is currently divided into two main parts: the Recipe Book, which is composed of pre-made recipes or rather pre-structured DeFi strategies, and the eponymous Recipe Creator, which allows builders to simply drag-and-drop their own recipes together however they please.
Additionally, the Recipe Creator makes use of natural language processing, so users can just write simple instructions like “Supply 500 DAI to Compound” or sequences of instructions separated by commas to quickly create recipes. Recipes currently support actions across top DeFi apps like Aave, Compound, Maker, Reflexer, and Uniswap V2, and the DeFi Saver team plans to integrate new protocols regularly.
The ease of these future integrations will come courtesy of DeFi Saver’s recently overhauled smart contract system, which now composes transactions efficiently as mixtures of composable activities rather than one long string of stacked actions.
The result is an optimized transaction builder system that lets users conveniently manage a range of staple DeFi activities, like borrowing, lending, creating and managing leveraged positions, and yield farming. And if you’re creating a collateralized debt position in order to obtain stablecoins or other assets for liquidity farming purposes, note that DeFi Saver also has liquidation protection options in the form of their Automation features.
Simulate recipes before you try them
DeFi Saver notably released a new Simulation mode feature alongside the Recipe Creator. This mode lets you quickly spin up a simulated 100 ETH account and then experiment with executing recipes and more with this simulated ETH in any way you see fit.
Accordingly, gone are the days where users must use actual ETH on the Ethereum mainnet to first get the hang of DeFi activities. Instead, when activated Simulation mode forks at the current Ethereum block so you can freely play around with market conditions, e.g. prices, as they existed upon activation. This gas-less environment is perfect for helping novices and veterans alike practice and strategize their DeFi activities.
If you’re interested in starting a Simulation account on DeFi Saver and taking some recipes for a spin, simply click on the “Simulation” button on the lower left-hand corner of the DeFi Saver dashboard. Upon doing so, select whether you want to create a new simulated account with 100 play ETH or to simulate your current account as it exists at the time.
Don’t sleep on the Recipe Creator
As it currently stands, the Recipe Creator already has the potential to bring in more than a few new DeFi users by making the UX around using DeFi so streamlined and convenient.
Looking ahead, the DeFi Saver team wants to improve this UX even further with more additions and advancements. For starters, new integrations with DApps like Lido, Liquity, and Yearn are on the slate for the near future as are integrations with promising layer-two (L2) scaling solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync 2.0. The DeFi Saver team is also exploring the automation of recipes, so consider keeping an eye out for that as well.
