The Problem

Liquidations happen in minutes.
You don't have to be online.

In volatile markets, liquidator bots react in milliseconds. Borrowers react in hours. The gap is where billions get wiped.

The hardest-hit segment
Mid-sized borrowers can't monitor 24/7 and are exposed to sudden wipes.

How Cushion works

A protection layer,
not another lending protocol.

Keep your existing Aave, Kamino, or Compound position. Wrap it with Cushion. Sleep at night.

01

Wrap your loan

One click. Your position on Aave or Kamino becomes a Cushion-protected position. Nothing about your loan changes — you just get an invisible safety net under it.

02

We watch it, every block

Our risk engine monitors your position continuously. The moment it enters the danger zone, we're already moving. No alerts to check. No manual top-ups at 3am.

03

We intervene before bots do

When risk crosses threshold, Cushion injects capital from our vault or executes a controlled liquidation, preserving more of your collateral than an open-market bot ever would.

Architecture

01

Loan Wrapper

Users wrap their Aave / Kamino / Compound positions through a Cushion contract. No migration — protection sits on top.

02

Protection Vault

Shared liquidity vault pools capital across all users. ~5% of protected loan value is sufficient at scale.

03

Risk Engine

Off-chain monitoring tracks health factors block-by-block. Triggers protection when thresholds cross.

04

Execution Layer

Injects capital, partially repays debt, or runs a controlled liquidation — before external bots arrive.
