Together with DeFi Saver

48% APY on stablecoins in one click

DeFi Saver has made one of the hottest strategies in DeFi radically simpler.

Recently, Ethena released Liquid Leverage, an Ethena integration on money markets.

It enables users to deposit 50% sUSDe and 50% USDe into Aave, and earn promotional rewards for USDe in addition to the sUSDe yield and the USDe lending rate.

This enables earning some very high yields.

The problem? Executing this strategy manually requires a lot of transactions.

With this in mind, DeFi Saver launched Ethena’s Liquid Leverage on its app - enabling users to get exposure to this strategy in a single transaction.

Here’s how you can access it:

Go to DeFi Saver
Click on the “Trending” button on the left side (On the Trending page, you can see the most popular strategies supported on DeFi Saver)
Select the Liquid Leverage Strategy and deposit USDC, USDT, USDe, sUSDe, or other stablecoin after you select the leverage amount and the margin asset

And that’s it. Keep in mind, though, that this strategy is built on top of AAVE, and it only works when the supply caps for the deposited tokens have not been reached yet.

In one transaction, DeFi Saver will create a 50/50 sUSDe/USDE leveraged position with your capital, which is currently generating up to 48% APY.

This is just one of the many advanced DeFi actions that you can do on DeFi Saver.

Earn up to 48% APY with Liquid Leverage on DeFi Saver !

🛠️Tool spotlight: Messari Signals Tracker

The two most important crypto metrics are revenue and mindshare in my opinion.

Given that Messari has recently released a dashboard based on mindshare and CT sentiment, I thought it would be interesting to cover it.

Using it, you can see what projects are gaining traction on Crypto Twitter.

It’s called “Signals Tracker”, and using it, you can:

Check the top assets by mindshare
Check what sectors or sub-sectors are currently trending
See the most popular CT topics (on the right side)
Analyse what tokens from a certain sector you choose are gaining attention

Some of its features require paying a subscription, but I’ve been using only the ones that are available for free, and I have found those to be quite helpful.
