DeFi needs smarter wallets to prevent overnight losses
Crypto markets that trade 24/7 demand automated wallet protections, not manual vigilance. Passive vaults leave people exposed to overnight liquidations.

Crypto markets run 24/7. Today’s wallets leave users exposed to constant risk, highlighting the urgent need for automated protections that operate around the clock. While the US stock market closes every weekday at 4:00 p.m. ET, cryptocurrency markets never sleep.
As more assets, including stocks, move onchain over the next few years, it won’t be long before most assets will trade 24/7. While permissionless access to assets around the world is great, no consumer tool today, whether TradFi or DeFi, is built to protect users around the clock.
