Benefit from Aave’s DeFi opportunities, using Kiln’s infrastructure
Aave
What is Aave?
Aave is a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocol that allows users to lend and borrow digital assets in a trustless manner. By depositing assets into liquidity pools, users can earn rewards, which are determined automatically by the Aave protocol based on supply and demand. Aave supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including several popular stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and DAI, making it a go-to platform for those interested in earning rewards.
Stablecoins on Aave provide attractive opportunities for risk-averse users to earn rewards. Users can deposit stablecoins for reward rates that are competitive with traditional savings accounts, but with the added benefit of being on a decentralized platform. Additionally, Aave offers unique features like the ability to switch between stable and variable reward rates and the use of stablecoins or other cryptocurrencies as collateral for borrowing other assets.
Why bring DeFi to your users?
After staking, DeFi is the next source of digital asset rewards. Stablecoins are a $170 billion market and growing, but less than 4% of stablecoins natively earn interest for holders. In comparison, over 50% of PoS and dPoS assets are staked.
Kiln DeFi is the tech stack that enables integrators to seamlessly support and monetize DeFi in any Web3 product.

What are the rewards associated with DeFi?
In the context of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), “rewards” refers to the earnings that a user receives from supplying or lending their assets a DeFi protocol such as Aave. DeFi platforms facilitate peer-to-peer lending and borrowing through smart contracts on blockchains like Ethereum.
In DeFi protocols like Aave, supply rates fluctuate mainly based on borrowing utilization. Higher borrowing demand increases supplier reward rates. Additional incentives and market volatility also impact these rates. Economic conditions, such as bull or bear markets, influence activity levels, with higher activity boosting yields and lower activity reducing them.
From 2.5% APY in a bear market to 22%+ during peak market activity, DeFi rewards like Aave’s can drive a significant additional source of rewards for integrators.

What are the rewards associated with Aave and Kiln DeFi?
Rewards are based on the supply and borrowing demand for each asset. As the borrowing demand for an asset increases, the reward rate also increases.
Check on Aave for the latest rates.
Is there a minimum amount of assets to lend on Aave?
You can supply any amount you wish, with no minimum or maximum limits. However, it's important to note that for very low amounts, the transaction costs may exceed the expected earnings.
Do the end users of the integrator maintain custody of their assets when lending on Aave?
No, lending on Aave means you will deposit your assets into their lending protocol (a smart contract) but only you have the right to withdraw your assets.
Is there a lockup period when lending assets on Aave?
No, you can withdraw your assets at any time, provided the lending pool has sufficient liquidity (i.e., it is not fully borrowed). If the pool lacks liquidity, you may need to wait for borrowers to repay their loans to free up funds.
It is a rare occurrence for a lending pool to lack liquidity, as in the event of limited liquidity borrowing rates are automatically adjusted upwards to encourage loans to be repaid.
