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 v1.0 — 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: $28,000 in BAL (or equivalent) to fund comprehensive smart contract audit, 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:

  1. Spread Composition: The current delta is driven by an 8.39% supply rate on cbETH against a -0.83% borrow cost.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

PivotBot — Follow-Up & v2.0 Update

Hi everyone,

I wanted to post a quick update alongside my grant follow-up email to the committee.

Where things stand with v1.0: I submitted my grant application via Typeform on April 12 and followed up by email the same day. The full technical context for v1.0 is in the posts above — three verified Solidity contracts live on Base mainnet, using Balancer V2 zero-fee flashloans for atomic leveraged positions on Moonwell - no looping at all.

What’s new — PivotBot v2.0 smart contracts complete: Since my original application, I have completed the smart contracts for PivotBot v2.0, which introduces an intent-driven AgentVault architecture. The core Balancer V2 flashloan mechanic remains unchanged, but v2.0 layers on AI-agent coordination for automated leveraged yield strategy execution.

Next steps are mainnet deployment and Coinbase CDP AgentKit integration.

I’m happy for the committee to evaluate the grant against v1.0 as originally submitted, or to discuss whether v2.0 warrants a revised scope. Open to a call or sharing the private GitHub repo at any point.

Thanks for building and maintaining the grants programme — Balancer’s zero-fee flashloans are genuinely what made PivotBot possible.

Technical update — v2.0 development notes and a new Balancer flash loan use case

Wanted to share a technical update on what’s changed since the March 20 post, specifically because it adds a third flash loan use case that may be of interest to this community.

The new use case: guardian auto-deleverage

The original implementation used Balancer 0% flash loans for two operations: opening a leveraged position (deposit + flashloan → supply → borrow → repay) and closing it (the same pattern in reverse). Both atomic, single transaction, no loops.

v2.0 adds an autonomous CDP agent layer. When the health factor on a Moonwell lending position drops below a user-defined threshold (default: 1.25), a CDP AgentKit guardian fires an auto-deleverage — again using a Balancer flash loan, atomically, in one transaction. So flash loan volume is now generated not just at open/close but continuously, on every guardian health-factor intervention.

The agent is bounded by a new contract (AgentVault) that enforces a 9-function selector whitelist and per-transaction spending caps at the Solidity level. The agent cannot withdraw funds or change its own permissions. This felt important to get right before putting real capital on it.

What I’d genuinely value feedback on:

The flash loan repay path during auto-deleverage goes: Balancer flashloan → repay Moonwell borrow → redeem collateral → swap on Aerodrome → repay Balancer. In adverse market conditions (low Aerodrome liquidity, high slippage), there’s a risk the swap output doesn’t fully cover the flash loan repayment.

Has anyone in this community dealt with slippage-risk edge cases in flash loan repay paths? Curious whether others have used minimum-output guards or dynamic slippage tolerances in similar architectures.

PivotBot v2.0 Live on Base Mainnet: Non-custodial leveraged yield — with an autonomous guardian

Hi Balancer Community & Grants Committee,

I wanted to share a major milestone update regarding our application and the deployment of PivotBot. PivotBot v2.0 is now officially live on Base Mainnet.

We have successfully onboarded our first batch of 4 active users who have deployed their isolated PivotBot smart contracts. While we are currently in a measured rollout phase—with 1 pioneer wallet actively executing live market trades and 3 users initialized and ready to deploy capital—our live performance has proved the efficiency of our architecture.

Why This Matters for Balancer

PivotBot relies heavily on Balancer V2 zero-fee flashloans as a core primitives engine. Traditional leverage protocols use costly, multi-transaction “looping.” PivotBot uses Balancer’s infrastructure to open up to 5× leveraged positions in a single, atomic transaction block, significantly reducing gas costs and execution slippage on Base.

As of this week, our live delta-neutral strategy pair (USDC/DAI) is demonstrating a verified net APY of +23% on-chain with a safe Health Factor of 1.75.

Introducing V2.0 Safety Architecture: AgentVault for the Autonomous Guardian

PivotBot integrates a CDP AgentKit-powered autonomous guardian that monitors health factor and can act before liquidation. The default threshold is 1.25, and the threshold is user-configurable.

The guardian does not receive broad control over the bot. It operates through a per-user AgentVault that enforces strict onchain constraints before any action reaches PivotBot.

A common reservation with AI-driven DeFi agents is the risk of compromised hot wallet keys or runaway liquidations. Our v2.0 upgrade addresses this by introducing a rigid six-contract architecture built around AgentVault.sol:

  • Zero-Custody AI: The Coinbase CDP AgentKit hot wallet acts solely as an executor. It holds no user capital.

  • Solidity-Level Boundaries: All agent actions are strictly gated by AgentVault, which enforces a hard per-transaction spending cap, a mandatory execution cooldown interval, and an explicit 9-function selector whitelist.

  • The Drain Guarantee: Users retain absolute sovereign control. At any moment, a user can trigger drain(), sweeping 100% of their collateral and dust back to their main wallet completely bypassing the agent layer.

Our code is fully transparent, and our documentation is live:

  • PivotBot Instance: 0x2d6781c28d77f8a446d9fa8d2ad421be9aa465e3

We are ready to ramp up marketing and scale our user base, driving consistent, programmatic swap and flashloan volume directly through Balancer pools on Base. We look forward to your feedback and would love to hear from the grants team on how we can align our rollout with Balancer’s ecosystem goals.

Best regards,

MEV protection is something every DeFi user should care about. The amount of value extracted from regular users through sandwich attacks and frontrunning is staggering. Private mempools and MEV-aware DEXs are helping.

14

Stablecoin design remains one of the most important problems in DeFi. Algorithmic stables have mostly failed. Over-collateralized models work but are capital-inefficient. Hybrid approaches seem most promising.

15

Liquidity fragmentation across L2s is becoming a serious issue. Bridging is still clunky and expensive. Cross-chain liquidity aggregation needs to improve significantly for DeFi to scale properly.
