Connecting your Safe wallet to third party apps

If you've opened a position on DeFi Saver, you've also created a Safe smart wallet to house the position.

Safe has become the standard smart wallet across DeFi apps, so you'll also be able to access them directly with your Safe smart wallet. This also means you'll be able to view your position created through DeFi Saver outside of our app.

The first, and most common way you can connect to apps is through WalletConnect:

Show me how:

Let's use an example of connecting to Aave directly from their website.

First, we go to the Aave app, and click on "Connect Wallet":

This will provide us with the WalletConnect code, and we can click on "Copy to Clipboard"

Then, we visit the Safe app located on https://app.safe.global/:

You can click on "Connect" in order to connect with your EOA account that owns the Safe, which will show you all of the Safe accounts associated with your wallet (as per the screenshot above).

As such, the next step would be to choose the Safe wallet you'd like to connect with:

We now want to click the WalletConnect icon in the top right corner, and enter the WalletConnect code we got from Aave:

Now if we go back to the Aave app, our Safe will be connected!

On the other hand, you can also connect with apps directly through the Safe app:

Show me how:

First, we visit the Safe app located on https://app.safe.global/:

You can click on "Connect" in order to connect with your EOA account that owns the Safe, which will show you all of the Safe accounts associated with your wallet (as per the screenshot above).

As such, the next step would be to choose the Safe wallet you'd like to connect with:

Once here, we want to click on "Apps" from the menu on the left-hand side:

In the search bar, you can then type in the name of the app you'd like to connect to. In this example, we'll do Aave.

Now, when we click on the Aave tab, we'll be connected to Aave throgh our Safe wallet:

You won't find all apps by searching directly in the Safe app, so if you don't see the one you're interested in, we recommend visiting it directly and following the steps from the WalletConnect guide.

How do I claim rewards with my Safe wallet?

Since your DeFi position is located on a Safe, it's going to be the wallet that's eligible to claim rewards (if you qualify for any). While DeFi Saver aims to have all rewards claimable directly through our interface, in case we don't support the claiming of a certain reward - You can still follow the steps outlined in this article to connect to the relevant app directly and claim the rewards.
