[Sponsored] DeFi Saver, one of the famous applications for creating, managing, and tracking DeFi positions on Ethereum is now live on two leading optimistic Layer 2 networks, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

Ever since 2019 users were able to rely on their flagship automated liquidation protection and innovative DeFi asset management features for a growing number of lending protocols on the Ethereum mainnet. The initial launch on L2 networks introduces full-fledged dashboard support for the Aave v3 protocol, packed with some of their advanced features, like the signature 1-tx leverage management, now with substantially lower fees. 

The latest release includes a new bridging dashboard providing simple migration of assets between supported networks and ensuring the best rates using LI.FI, DEX, and bridge aggregator.

Explore the powerful DeFi management toolkit, now live on Arbitrum and Optimism at DeFiSaver.com.

😵 Missing in Ethereum

Sorry for being MIA last week folks - I just didn’t get enough time to push out a newsletter but that means this weeks edition is double-stuffed! Hope you enjoy it and I hope you’re all as excited as I am for the Ropsten testnet merge this week - it’s going to be a very fun event!

Oh and don’t forget to catch this podcast I did with StakeborgDAO.

Have a great week everyone!
