Quick start

Integrate DeFi yield in your application

Kiln DeFi was build to enable wallets, custodians, exchanges, or fintech platform to simplify access to yield. Integrate DeFi via our fullstack offering combining smart contract, APIs and UI components. Via Kiln DeFi users can seamlessly deposit stablecoins into lending strategies like Aave, Compound, or Morpho, and earn interest from borrower activity. You control the experience β€” including how you monetize it (e.g., deposit fees, rewards fees, etc.).

πŸ”§ Integration scope

Abstract away DeFi integration and monetization complexity with Kiln DeFi Vaults β€” created by seasoned smart contract engineers and audited by the best in the industry.

Kiln DeFi Vaults expose a single, ERC-4626-compliant interface to multiple underlying DeFi protocols, with native support for fee handling, on-chain accounting, and compliance.

Here’s what you gain by building your product with Kiln DeFi:

  • On-chain fee management & accounting: Vaults automatically handle user rewards and protocol yields while applying partner-defined service fees. All accounting logic is transparently executed on-chain.
  • Protocol-agnostic integration via ERC-4626 Vaults: Each Vault conforms to the ERC-4626 standard, enabling a unified interface across diverse DeFi strategies. Integrate once, support many.
  • Compliant by design: Vaults enforce OFAC address screening, blocklists, and API & Widget enable optional geofencing β€” enabling region-specific controls without additional backend logic.
  • Customizable incentives & monetization logic: Partners can define additional reward management logic, monetization strategies, or other incentive structures β€” all enforced at the contract level and fully auditable.
