Instadapp guides: from first connection to advanced strategies

A guide is only useful if it survives contact with a real wallet, a real gas price and a real market. The five guides collected here are written in that spirit: each one takes a single task, states what you need before you start, walks the sequence in order, and finishes with the mistakes people actually make.

The sequence matters. The getting-started guide establishes the vocabulary and the safety habits. The Instadapp Lite guide introduces automated vaults, which is the gentlest way to hold a leveraged position. Refinancing and flash loans are the two power tools, and both assume you are comfortable reading a health factor. The DSA guide sits underneath all of them and explains why any of it is possible.

Every guide links to the glossary on first mention of a technical term, to the article that explains the concept behind the task, and to the next guide in the sequence. If you read them in order you will have covered the practical surface of the Instadapp stack.
