FAQ

Stablecoin lending is a way to earn passive income by lending your stablecoins — such as USDC, DAI, or USDT — to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. These stablecoins are pegged to the value of fiat currencies like the US dollar, providing a more stable value compared to volatile cryptocurrencies like ETH or BTC.

When you lend stablecoins through a protocol, you're essentially providing liquidity that others can borrow. In return, you earn interest (also called rewards or yield) paid by the borrowers or the protocol itself.

🔍 What are the risk of DeFi lending ?

DeFi lending is not risk free.

↗️ What happens when I deposit?

When you deposit funds, you receive “shares” that represent your position. These shares are issued in the form of a soulbound ERC-20 token — meaning they cannot be transferred to someone else. You can see theses shares as a claim to your position + accrued rewards since the deposit.

💸 How value accrues in my position?

These shares represent a yield-bearing position:

  • Your number of shares does not change over time.

  • Instead, each share becomes worth more USDC (other other stablecoin) as rewards from the lending protocol accumulate.

So even though your share count stays constant, the $/USDC value they represent increases.

🤔 Why I'm I receiving less than 1 "shares" when I deposit 1 USDC

If you deposit 1 USDC, you might receive less than 1 share in return. This is expected: the value of 1 share is greater than 1 USDC, because it already includes accrued yield.

There are no deposit fees, meaning you can deposit and withdraw immediately without losing any Asset equivalent (eg. USDC). However, you will still need to cover Ethereum network fees.

Yes, Kiln charges a 15% fee on rewards, which is shared with Ledger. This covers the simplified access, reward management, and reporting across multiple DeFi lending protocols from Ledger Live.

All amounts shown in the deposit flow or on Ledger Earn are net of fees — what you see is exactly what you have earned or what you’ll receive after a withdraw.

Rewards start accruing immediately after your first deposit. However, depending on the size of your position, it may take some time for them to appear in the reporting section. For example, if you deposit 1 USDC with a 4% annual yield, the rewards earned per block are very small — it can take a while before they are noticeable in USD terms.

No, Kiln cannot guarantee rewards from the lending protocols. The displayed reward rate reflects the current rate offered by the protocol and is subject to change. We recommend reviewing your position in the reporting section every few weeks and rebalancing to another lending protocol if you feel the reward rate has become too low.

↙️ When can I withdraw my position ?

You can withdraw instantly at any time from Kiln DeFi with no withdrawal fees — the amount displayed reflects exactly what you’ve earned and what you’ll receive. You can choose to withdraw your entire balance by clicking “MAX” in the interface or withdraw only a portion of your position.

Please note: if you make a partial withdrawal, your rewards will continue to show your total accumulated rewards since your first deposit.

Morpho are conducting a unique incentives campaign to celebrate their integration. As part of this campaign, additional Morpho rewards are available exclusively through the Ledger deposit flow.

What kind of rewards can I expect?

When depositing through Ledger, users will earn:

  • Traditional lending rewards.

  • Additional Morpho rewards, which are automatically accrued on top of your deposit.

Will I receive Morpho tokens in my wallet?

No. Although Morpho typically requires users to manually claim their rewards, Kiln has partnered with Ledger and Morpho to automatically autocompound these additional rewards.

This means:

  • You won’t need to claim anything manually.

  • Rewards will be directly added to your position in the same asset you deposited (e.g., USDC).

Why do my rewards seem lower than expected?

Additional rewards are:

  • Unlocked and autocompounded every Monday.

  • Gradually added to your position over time.

To fully benefit from these rewards, you need to stay deposited for at least to the next monday. (eg. you stake on Tuesday, you will only get the additional rewards boost the next monday).

Why my deposit transaction revert ?

You can check the transaction hash on to identify the issue with your transaction. If it's not due to a low gas limit or insufficient fees, another possible reason could be that the lending protocol is currently not accepting additional deposits. In that case, you may want to try again later.
