Agent Actions
Automate your DeFi positions with intelligent agents that work 24/7 to optimize your returns. Agent Actions allow you to create and manage automated strategies without manual intervention.
What Are Agent Actions?
Agent Actions are automated strategies that you can deploy to manage your DeFi positions. Once set up, these agents continuously monitor rates across protocols and execute transactions to keep you in the best positions.
Available on your Dashboard when you have:
✅ Connected wallet
✅ Authenticated (signed in)
✅ Deployed Safe wallet
⚠️ No existing debt positions (if you have positions, agents manage them automatically)
Available Agent Actions
1. Create Leveraged Position 🚀 (Featured)
Status: ✅ Available Now
Amplify your returns by creating a leveraged debt position with automated rate optimization.
How It Works
You provide initial collateral (e.g., 1 ETH worth $4,000)
The agent uses flash loans to borrow additional assets
Creates a leveraged position on your chosen protocol (Aave, Compound, Morpho, etc.)
Automatically switches to best borrow rates as they change
Example Scenario
Key Features
Automated Rate Switching:
Monitors borrow rates across all protocols
Automatically migrates to lower rates
Saves you money on interest costs
Flash Loan Powered:
No need to have the full amount upfront
Seamless position creation
Instant leverage deployment
Protocol Support:
Aave V3
Compound V3
Morpho
Moonwell
Fluid
Security:
Non-custodial (you maintain control)
Executed through your Safe wallet
Protocol fee: Check current rate in the UI
How to Set Up
Click "Set Up Agent" on the Create Leveraged Position card
Select your protocol (Aave, Compound, Morpho, etc.)
Choose collateral asset (ETH, WETH, USDC, etc.)
Enter initial collateral amount (how much you want to deposit)
Select target leverage (1.5x, 2x, 3x, etc.)
Higher leverage = higher potential returns but more risk
Lower leverage = more conservative
Choose debt asset (what you want to borrow - usually stablecoins)
Review the simulation:
Total collateral after leverage
Amount borrowed
Estimated APY
Gas costs
Protocol fees
Approve transactions:
Approve collateral token (one-time)
Execute position creation
Wait for confirmation (usually 15-30 seconds)
Your agent is now active! It will monitor rates and switch protocols when beneficial.
Understanding the Numbers
Leverage Ratio:
Risk Levels:
1.5x - 2x: Conservative (lower liquidation risk)
2x - 3x: Moderate (balanced risk/reward)
3x+: Aggressive (higher returns, higher risk)
Best Practices
✅ Start Small:
Test with a small amount first
Understand how leverage works
Monitor your first position closely
✅ Choose Stable Collateral:
ETH/WETH is popular for stability
Stablecoins have lowest volatility risk
✅ Set Conservative Leverage:
2x is a good starting point
Higher leverage = higher liquidation risk
✅ Monitor Health Factor:
Keep health factor above 1.5
Agent will alert you if risk increases
❌ Avoid:
Maximum leverage on your first try
Volatile collateral assets initially
Ignoring liquidation warnings
2. Rate Arbitrage Agent ⚡
Status: ✅ Available Now
Earn passive income by taking advantage of rate differences across DeFi protocols.
How It Works
The Rate Arbitrage Agent identifies opportunities where you can:
Borrow at a low rate on one protocol
Lend at a higher rate on another protocol
Earn the spread between the two rates

FAQ
Q: Can I run multiple agents at once? A: Yes! You can have multiple agents for different strategies (e.g., one leveraged position + one rate arbitrage). Each will have their own Safe wallet.
Q: How much can I earn with agents? A: Depends on capital, leverage, and market conditions. Leveraged positions can amplify returns 1.5x-3x. Rate arbitrage typically earns 1-3% net APY on the spread.
Q: What if I want to stop an agent? A: Go to your position, click "Manage Automation," and select "Pause" or "Close Position." You maintain full control.
Q: Do agents work 24/7? A: Yes! Agents monitor continuously and execute when optimal conditions are met.
Q: What happens if rates change quickly? A: Agents react in real-time. If a better rate appears, the agent will switch (if it meets your threshold and gas costs are justified).
Q: Can I customize how aggressive my agent is? A: Yes! Adjust rate thresholds, protocol whitelist, and notification settings in automation configuration.
Q: What if the protocol I'm using gets hacked? A: Agents prioritize audited, battle-tested protocols. We monitor protocol health and will alert users of any issues. You can always manually withdraw.
Q: How do I know if my agent is profitable? A: Check Agent Execution History on your dashboard. It shows all switches, savings, gas costs, and net benefit.
