Instadapp articles: understanding the products behind the buttons
Guides tell you which button to press. Articles tell you why the button exists. This hub collects six explainers that cover the Instadapp product family from the outside in: the history of the project, the dashboard that most people meet first, the smart wallet that removes gas friction, and the liquidity protocol that may end up defining the next phase.
Two of the articles are deliberately uncomfortable. The comparison with DeFi Saver looks at where a competitor is genuinely stronger, and the security article catalogues the categories of risk — smart contract, oracle, liquidation, governance and user error — without softening them. An educational resource that only lists advantages is a brochure.
Each article is self-contained but cross-linked. Terminology follows the glossary, related guides are surfaced at the end of every piece, and the previous and next links let you read the whole set as a single long-form introduction to Instadapp.
