Glider.fi Project Introduction

Project Overview
Glider is a non-custodial, onchain platform for building and automating crypto portfolios. It allows users to define asset allocations, deposit tokens, and let the system handle automatic rebalancing and execution — all without coding. Designed as an “autopilot” layer for DeFi, it emphasizes seamless cross-chain operations, gas-free executions, and real-time market responses.

Core Features
– No-Code Portfolio Building: Create custom strategies using modular “blocks” (e.g., asset selection, weighting, filters, dynamic adjustments).
– Automated Rebalancing: From minute-level to daily intervals, keeping allocations aligned with user intent.
– Self-Custodial Security: Powered by smart wallets and session keys — users retain full control of assets.
– Cross-Chain Support: Instant exposure across chains (currently focused on Base, with expansions planned).
– RWA & Yield Integration: Easy access to tokenized real-world assets like U.S. Treasuries and credit vaults (e.g., Nest Treasury, nALPHA ~21% yield, nBASIS ~16% yield).
– Gas-Free & Efficient: Deep liquidity routing for best execution; predictive tools for market volatility.

Current Status
– Platform is live and open for users to deploy real funds.
– Strong focus on stable, real-world yields via integrations like Nest vaults.

Team & Funding
– Founded in 2024 by John Johnson and Brian Huang (backgrounds in Coinbase, MetaMask, Anchorage, etc.).
– Raised $4M in 2025, led by a16z CSX, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Uniswap Ventures, GSR, and others.

Glider aims to make sophisticated DeFi investing simple and hands-off, suitable for both retail and long-term investors.
