- Type: Launch or access
- Stage: Live launch
- Evidence: confirmed
- Materiality: watch
- Event date: 2026-08-11
- Version: 1, published 2026-08-22 (first published 2026-08-22)
- Advisor-relevant: no
- Affects: DeFi Saver Asset Management (product); Aave v3 (protocol)

## What happened

DeFi Saver launched a minimal Liquidation Protection automation across supported lending protocols and a dedicated workflow for migrating Aave v3 positions to Aave v4 in one transaction.

## What changed

The approved automation dependency can now execute an additional collateral-sale-and-repayment strategy and a more accessible cross-version Aave migration path.

## What did not change

The launch does not approve Aave v4, any migrated asset, or the underlying leveraged position. DeFi Saver's dependency-only limits and each base protocol's separate verdict remain unchanged.

## Confirmed

- Liquidation Protection was described as live on August 10, 2026.
- The feature monitors supported positions and uses the minimum stated collateral amount needed to repay part of a debt when configured thresholds are reached.
- The Aave v3-to-v4 migration tool was described as live and capable of migrating a position in one transaction.
- The official update lists Aave, Morpho, Compound, Fluid, Spark, and Maker among supported Liquidation Protection protocols.

## Still open

- The exact contracts, authorization scopes, trigger defaults, and execution slippage for the new automation.
- Which Aave v3 assets and positions are eligible for migration.
- Whether any approved or client-held position enabled either feature.
- The failure and rollback behavior if a migration or protection transaction cannot complete.

## What it means for an advisor

- Inventory client automation permissions before enabling the new strategy and verify its collateral-sale, slippage, and trigger settings.
- Do not infer approval of Aave v4 or any destination market from DeFi Saver's interface support.
- Review operational procedures for positions migrated away from the separately assessed Aave v3 perimeter.
