DeFi infrastructure for fintechs and stablecoin platforms. One API for yield, credit, trading, and bridging. Fully non-custodial.

Compass is DeFi infrastructure.

One API gives your platform access to Aave, Morpho, Pendle, Uniswap, and hundreds of other protocols and venues. We handle the complexity. You get transaction payloads. Your users sign. Non-custodial, always.

Offer yield on dollar stablecoins - variable or fixed at market rates. Let users borrow against collateral. Add leverage trading. Move assets across chains without your users thinking about bridges. Sponsor gas so transactions feel free. Add margin so every transaction can generate revenue.

Integrations take 2-4 weeks. No protocol expertise required.

Key Features:

  • Yield (variable or fixed) - credit, swaps, leverage trading
  • Gas Abstraction - sponsor gas so users never see network fees
  • Embedded Monetization - add margin to every transaction, turning DeFi activity into a revenue stream
  • Product Accounts - launch multiple products on the same SDK without intermingling funds
  • Cross-Chain Bridging - enable user access to yield opportunities across Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base

Compass enables teams to scale globally and deliver modern financial products on crypto rails while presenting them as intuitive, consumer-grade banking experiences.

Backed by a16z crypto. Based on London.

Use Cases

DeFi Yield

Many platforms hold user or treasury stablecoin balances that sit idle and earn zero return. With Compass, these balances can be allocated into onchain yield markets such as Aave, Morpho, Pendle, or ERC-4626 vaults through a single execution API. The platform can monitor real-time and historical yields, compare net APRs across protocols, and automatically shift allocations based on predefined rules or yield thresholds. Bundled transactions reduce gas usage and help reduce multi-step execution risk, allowing deposits, withdrawals, and rebalancing to occur atomically. This supports more predictable yield generation, minimal operational overhead, and a new revenue line through embedded fee structures.

Credit Through Collateralized Borrowing

Users or businesses may need short-term liquidity without selling their existing assets. Compass enables collateralized lending workflows by abstracting the full lending market logic behind a simple API call. The platform can deposit collateral, borrow stablecoins, monitor collateral ratios, and set automated risk triggers such as unwinding positions if prices move beyond defined thresholds. All borrow, repay, and rebalance actions can be executed atomically, supporting deterministic outcomes and reducing operational risk. This unlocks credit products that provide instant liquidity while maintaining exposure to underlying assets with flexible fee structures embedded at the transaction layer.

Fixed-Rate Stablecoin Savings

Compass connects your platform to Pendle. Users deposit digital dollars, pick a term, and lock in a fixed APY for the chosen term. No rate fluctuations. You sponsor gas. Users pay nothing. You add margin. Every deposit can earn you revenue.

Leverage Without Building Lending Infrastructure

Compass connects your platform to lending markets to take leverage. Users can deposit collateral and get 3x exposure in one click (works across Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base). You sponsor gas. You add margin. Every trade earns you revenue.
