A DeFi middleware layer that lets you manage lending and trading positions across protocols like Aave and Compound from a single smart account.

Key Risks for Instadapp Users

1.

Your collateral and your debt can both lose value at the same time, creating a feedback loop that could amplify losses up to 39x in a crash

2.

All $6B in deposits share a single pool of liquidity across lending, trading, and vaults. If one part breaks, every part breaks.

3.

Automated trading bots with permission to manage your account could be compromised, draining funds across multiple protocols in one transaction

Top Risk Factors

  • Smart Collateral and Smart Debt create reflexive leverage loops up to 39x theoretical max
  • Unified Liquidity Layer concentrates risk across lending, DEX, and vault modules
  • Automated rebalancing converts impermanent loss into permanent loss on volatile pairs
