Hi Balancer Grants Committee & Community,
Following up on my March 1 post:
“[Feedback] Using Balancer Flash Loans for Atomic De-leveraging on Base”
I have now fully shipped Pivot Bot — the first live, non-custodial, one-click 5x leverage bot on Base mainnet.
Key features & Balancer value:
-
Users deploy their own verified bot contract (gas only) via factory
-
Instant open/close of leveraged longs or shorts using Balancer 0% flash loans + Moonwell — all in one transaction
-
Users earn Moonwell supply APY + WELL rewards on the entire leveraged position (no CEX funding rates)
-
Clean dashboard with real-time health factor, accrued yields, and one-click repay
Live on-chain proof (March 14, 2026):
- One-click leveraged wstETH position opened using Balancer flash loan on the base mainnet: tx-hash - 0xf1715a974d3700b483d6d6ac2e7b6af898a636ffb87a243e78a153a05ef6d1f1 (Flashloan WETH → swapped to wstETH → supplied wstETH to Moonwell (supply APY = 2.4%) → borrowed wstETH from Moonwell (borrow APY = 0.6%) → swapped to WETH → repaid flashloan → position minted in a single tx, earning 4.5x leverage X 1.8% Net APY = 8.1% APY)

This tool directly generates real Balancer flash-loan volume while driving Moonwell TVL on Base — perfect composability use-case.
Grant request: $8,000–$12,000 in BAL (or equivalent) to fund KOL campaigns, user incentives, and referral programs while scaling to 1,000+ bots. Happy to share full on-chain metrics, add requested features, or present in the next Grants call.
Thanks for the powerful flash-loan primitive — this wouldn’t exist without Balancer!

Hi Balancer Community & Grants Committee,
Quick major update on Pivot Bot (following my March 20 post).
I just completed a full redesign for maximum security and simplicity:
-
No more pre-funding the bot. It now pulls WETH/USDC directly from the user’s wallet after approval.
-
On repay, it automatically closes the position and sends everything straight back to the user’s wallet.
-
Tokens no longer sit in the bot — drastically reducing attack surface.
New contracts (all verified):
-
Pivot Bot: 0x2d6781c28d77f8a446d9fa8d2ad421be9aa465e3
-
Factory: 0xc4E537890e86fDD44aF936218f80d7326820d97d
-
Manager: 0x144F04807a6af905E3112Fe3Da9302D308c6DF26
New UI (live now):
Pivot Bot remains the easiest way for users to get one-click 5x leverage on Moonwell using Balancer 0% flash loans, while earning full supply APY + WELL rewards.
The product is now more secure and user-friendly than ever. Would love feedback from the team and renewed consideration for grant support to help drive Balancer flash-loan volume and Base TVL growth.
Happy to hop on a call or share metrics.
Thanks again for the powerful flash-loan primitive!
Best,

Technical Update: On-chain efficiency and yield breakdown using 0-fee flash loans
Following up on the previous discussion regarding capital efficiency on Base, I wanted to share some live data on how Balancer’s 0-fee flash loan infrastructure is currently performing for recursive LST strategies.
I’ve updated the Pivot Bot UI to provide a granular mathematical breakdown of the net APY spread. Currently, a 4x leverage loop (Supply: cbETH / Borrow: weETH) is generating a +31.24% Net APY.
Technical Observations:
-
Spread Composition: The current delta is driven by an 8.39% supply rate on cbETH against a -0.83% borrow cost.
-
Flash Loan Impact: The viability of this 31% yield is highly sensitive to entry/exit costs. Using Balancer’s flashLoan function (0% fee) allows for multiple recursive steps (leveraging up to 4x-5x) without the aggregate fees found in Aave or Uniswap V3, which would significantly compress the net margin.
-
De-leveraging Logic: I am currently testing the de-leveraging leg of the contract. When the yield spread narrows or price targets are hit, the contract executes a single atomic repay by flash-borrowing the debt asset to unwind the Moonwell position.
The goal here is to demonstrate a high-velocity use case for the Balancer Vault on Base that isn’t just simple arbitrage, but persistent, structured credit.

Update April 12 — I have now submitted the formal grant application via the Typeform. The application references this forum thread, the on-chain tx evidence, and all three contract addresses. Looking forward to the committee’s review. Happy to join a grants call or answer any questions — reach me at abolaji@syncedgesolutions.xyz
