Simulation Mode
Simulation mode is a sandboxed environment that allows you to test out all supported decentralized finance protocols and all features available in the DeFi Saver app without having to set up an account or spend any actual funds.
Instead, you’re given access to a temporary account with 100 ETH and a simulated environment that works exactly like the real Ethereum network.
You can start a simulation by using the option in the bottom of the sidebar (or the navigation menu on mobile), or by selecting the “Simulation” option in the wallet selection dropdown menu.
When a simulation is started, it creates a fork of the Ethereum (or Arbitrum or Optimism) network at that moment, and later on appends all your transactions to that fork. This means that all your transactions will be executed on that fork, while no other new blocks from the actual, live Ethereum blockchain are added to that fork. In other words, new transactions happening in the real world won’t make their way to your current simulation. Asset prices will also remain frozen at values they had when the simulation was started.
We also added an "Add Balance" feature that allows you to add any amount of any token to your simulated account. This allows you to more easily experiment with wanted options throughout the app.
How to add balance to your simulation:
The first step is to click on the "Add Balance" button at the bottom of your simulation:
This will open up a new window.
From there, you can either top-up more ETH, or click on the token icon to enter the address of your desired asset:
You can see all transactions you’ve made in the “Recent transactions” pop-up in the top right corner. Transaction gas fees and usage are also included. A short summary of all transactions will also be available when exiting the simulation.
