Is DeFi Saver Safe?
Risk Grade: B (24/100)
DeFi Saver is rated as moderate risk — some novel mechanisms, generally well-understood.
Moderate risk — proven automation platform with 5+ years and no incidents, balanced against inherent cross-protocol composability and keeper bot reliability dependencies.
DeFi Saver is a non-custodial DeFi management tool that provides automated leverage management, liquidation protection, and one-click position adjustments across MakerDAO, Aave, Compound, Liquity, and Morpho. Operating since 2019 with no security incidents and multiple audits (ConsenSys, Dedaub), its B+ grade reflects mature automation patterns and a clean track record, with moderate risk from cross-protocol composability.

Key Risks for DeFi Saver Users
DeFi Saver's automated protections (stop-loss, liquidation protection) rely on keeper bots that must successfully execute transactions on your behalf. During extreme market crashes with very high gas prices, these bots may fail to execute in time, leaving your position exposed to liquidation on the underlying protocol.
Your assets interact with multiple DeFi protocols through DeFi Saver. A vulnerability or unexpected behavior in any connected protocol (Aave, MakerDAO, Compound, etc.) could affect your position, even though DeFi Saver itself has a clean security record.
Complex multi-step transactions use flash loans to execute leverage adjustments in a single step. If flash loan liquidity is temporarily unavailable during high-demand periods, your automated strategy may not execute as expected.
Top Risk Factors
- •Smart contract composability risk — DeFi Saver interacts with multiple underlying protocols (MakerDAO, Aave, Compound, Morpho, Liquity) through automated recipes. A vulnerability in any integrated protocol could cascade through DeFi Saver positions.
- •Automation bot dependency — automated strategies (stop-loss, take-profit, leverage management) rely on off-chain keeper bots to monitor and execute transactions. Bot downtime or network congestion during volatile periods could prevent timely execution.
- •Flash loan execution risk — complex multi-step recipes use flash loans to execute leveraging/deleveraging in single transactions. During extreme market conditions, flash loan liquidity or DEX slippage could cause recipe failures at critical moments.
