# Automation

Automation is a trustless, non-custodial service for automated management of positions in various decentralized finance protocols integrated and supported in DeFi Saver. 

It includes different automation options for liquidation protection and loss minimization, as well as options for locking in gains and automating yield earning.

> Initially launched in late 2019 for Maker users, our Automation features have evolved over the years to support more protocols (e.g. Aave, Compound, Maker, Morpho, Liquity V2, CurveUSD) and to provide more variety of options (e.g. Automated Leverage Management, Stop Loss & Take Profit, Trailing stop, Boost/Repay on Target Price, and various Savings Protection options).
