How to Deleverage Your Aave Position
Compare manual deleveraging strategies with automated Guardian Rescue. Costs, timing, and best approaches for reducing Aave debt.
Manual Deleveraging
The simplest way to deleverage is to repay your debt directly. If you have USDC in your wallet, repay your borrowed USDC on Aave. This increases your health factor immediately. The downside: you need external funds.
Withdraw and Swap
You can withdraw some collateral, swap it for your debt asset, and repay. This requires multiple transactions and exposes you to swap slippage. It's manual and time-sensitive.
Guardian Rescue Automated Deleveraging
Guardian Rescue automates the entire process in one atomic transaction: flash loan the debt asset, repay your debt, withdraw your collateral, swap to repay the flash loan, and pay the fee. All in one block.
Which Approach Is Right for You?
If you have external funds available, manual repayment is cheapest. If you need to use your collateral to deleverage and want a single transaction, Guardian Rescue offers the simplest path with a 2.5% fee cap.
