DeFi new integrations

Yield farming was once a crypto-native marathon—complex and unfriendly. This week, that changes! Trust Wallet and Ledger just launched stablecoin yield vaults powered by Kiln DeFi. Two taps, and your stablecoins start earning.

Trust Wallet has launched Stablecoin Market—a seamless way for their 200M+ users to earn yield on stablecoins with just a few taps.

Powered by Kiln DeFi, this new feature enables deposits of USDT, USDC, DAI, and USDA across Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, and Base, with access to top DeFi protocols like Aave, Morpho, and Compound—all within Trust Wallet’s secure interface.

Ledger, the world’s leading hardware wallet, has expanded its Earn offerings in Ledger Live with stablecoin yield opportunities—powered by Kiln DeFi.

The feature lets Ledger users earn a passive income on USDC, USDT, USDS and DAI via several DeFi lending protocols, including Aave, Compound, Morpho, Sky and Spark, while maintaining self-custody.
