The first step would be to navigate to our Trending page:

From there, you'll find the following zaps (cards):

* Long ETH
* Long BTC
* Short ETH
* Short BTC

Clicking on any of the zaps will open a pop-up window:

For longing ETH or BTC, the pop-up window will provide you with the option to:<br>

* Choose which asset you want to start with. This means that you can input an asset that's not ETH/BTC and the zap will swap it to either ETH or BTC
* Input the starting amount of collateral
* Set the leverage amount
* Select the debt asset
* [(If minimum debt requirement is met)](https://help.defisaver.com/features/automation/requirements-for-using-automation) - Toggle auto-boost liquidation protection
* Set the slippage limit

On top of this, you'll also see a preview of your position before executing the zap.

If everything checks out, simply click "Create".

From there, you'll be able to view and access your Aave position from the Portfolio page, or by visiting the Aave dashboard on DeFi Saver.

This will result in you having an open leveraged position on DeFi Saver, meaning you'll have access to a plethora of tools such as:<br>

* [Boost and Repay](https://help.defisaver.com/general/what-is-defi-saver/boost-and-repay)
* [Automations](https://help.defisaver.com/features/automation)
