Ballast

Weight for volatile crypto.

Ballast shields ETH into USDC the moment markets get rough, parks it in Aave to keep earning while it waits, and swaps back whenever you're ready. A Nimiq Pay Mini App.

Built for the Nimiq Mini Apps

Shield

One tap swaps your ETH into USDC through Uniswap on Base the moment volatility spikes.

Earn

That USDC is automatically supplied to Aave, earning real yield for as long as it's parked.

Unshield

Pull it back out, principal plus interest, and swap back to ETH whenever you're ready.

Runs on Base. Swaps through Uniswap V3, earns yield via Aave V3, connects through the Nimiq Pay Mini Apps SDK. No custody logic of its own every fund-moving step calls an already audited protocol.

Tested end to end on Base mainnet try it with as little as $5. Ballast will never ask for your seed phrase or private key; every action goes through your own wallet's approval screen.
