Trust Wallet - DeFi
How Trust Wallet launched and monetized access to stablecoin yields with Kiln DeFi
Trust is one of the most widely used self-custodial wallets, empowering over 200 million users across 190+ countries. Kiln has proudly supported Trust Wallet’s staking offering across various tokens – enabling users to earn rewards on assets like ETH, SOL, ATOM, and more.
But as stablecoins became the dominant asset held in wallets, a gap emerged: there was no easy way to earn yield on them. Despite their popularity, stablecoins couldn’t be staked, and accessing DeFi yields meant leaving the app, connecting wallet to external platforms, and managing complex transactions – a poor fit for most users.
To close that gap, Trust Wallet integrated Kiln DeFi, bringing seamless, in-app access to yield vaults for USDC, USDT, and DAI. Users can now earn natively, without ever leaving the wallet – no dApps, no extra steps, and no compromise on control or security.
In the first 4 weeks post-launch, Kiln DeFi delivered measurable traction:
$30M+
$13,000
4.42%
"Yield on stablecoins has become one of the most demanded features by our users, with many seeking to transfer funds from their traditional fiat accounts into crypto to earn yield. For Trust Wallet, integrating with Kiln greatly simplifies the entire process with its ready to integrate APIs, smart contracts and widget."

Challenge
The yield UX problem
Earning yield remains challenging:
- Users must navigate complex DeFi protocols (e.g. Aave, Morpho, Compound)
- Manual bridging, approvals, and risk management create friction
- No unified tracking of accumulated yield
For wallets, integrating yield involves:
- Technical teams vetting for every DeFi integration
- Integrating custom flows for each protocols and building unified reporting for internal teams
- Building individual partnership with each protocol to monetize the feature
As a result, most wallets either avoid yield entirely or redirect users to third-party dApps – losing both the user journey and monetization opportunity.
Solution
Kiln DeFi: yield as a native feature
Kiln gave Trust Wallet a plug-and-play DeFi infrastructure with enterprise-grade compliance, API flexibility, and native UX design.

Trust Wallet users can deposit stablecoins into pre-vetted yield vaults powered by protocols like Morpho, Aave, Compound, and Spark – all without leaving the wallet.

🔹 Wallet-Native UX

Why this matters
Stablecoins represent billions in idle capital. Until now, wallets struggled to unlock yield without adding risk or losing users to external apps. Trust Wallet, powered by Kiln DeFi, proved that access and monetization of DeFi yield can be embedded, securely – without compromising self-custody or UX.
