Plug Wallet has gone live with its new Borrow and Lend feature, opening up DeFi capabilities directly through its mobile app, browser extension, and web platform. Users can now generate yield on stablecoins, borrow against crypto assets, and participate in liquidation pools without relying on complex setups or third-party tools.
The integration with Yusan introduces a distinctive approach to liquidation management. Traditionally, liquidations in DeFi require constant monitoring of positions and competing with automated bots to capture collateral at discounted rates. Yusan’s pool automates this process while reducing the risk of being frontrun by MEV bots, allowing users to benefit from liquidations without building specialised software or following markets constantly.
For example, if a borrower defaults on interest payments against a USDC-backed collateral, the liquidation pool triggers automatically. Users in the pool can acquire the collateral at a discount and, with Plug’s integration, immediately swap it back to USDC, realising the liquidation bonus. This mechanism allows users to participate in liquidations safely and efficiently, entirely from their own wallets.
Beyond liquidations, the Borrow and Lend feature offers a full suite of DeFi options. Stablecoin holders can earn interest, while crypto holders can unlock liquidity without selling assets. By combining lending, borrowing, and liquidation opportunities in one platform, Plug aims to make DeFi accessible for users who might otherwise be deterred by technical complexity.
Security and transparency are central to the design. All interactions occur through the user’s own wallet, reducing exposure to third-party custodians or intermediaries. The integration ensures that liquidation bonuses and yield opportunities are captured directly, with minimal friction, allowing users to retain full control of their assets.
This launch also highlights how DeFi is evolving to prioritise simplicity and user experience. By embedding sophisticated financial operations into a single, intuitive interface, Plug and Yusan are demonstrating that advanced strategies can be accessible to retail users. Investors can now engage with lending, borrowing, and liquidations in a straightforward way, without needing to deploy bots or manage multiple platforms.
Plug Wallet’s move reflects a broader trend in the crypto space: making complex financial instruments easier to use while maintaining transparency and security. As DeFi adoption grows, integrations like this could shape the way retail investors interact with digital finance, providing practical tools that were once only available to professional traders.
With the launch live across mobile, web, and extension platforms, Plug Wallet positions itself as a gateway for everyday users to participate confidently in DeFi markets, combining opportunity with convenience.
