Benefit from Spark’s DeFi opportunities, using Kiln’s infrastructure
Spark
What is Spark?
Spark is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform within the DAI ecosystem, created by the MakerDAO community. It allows users to deposit DAI to earn rewards, borrow DAI using various crypto assets as collateral, and access other financial services.
Spark connects multiple DeFi protocols to maximize the utility of DAI, offering features like lending, reward-bearing stablecoins, and direct liquidity for protocols. The platform aims to enhance financial opportunities and solve global coordination problems through an open-source financial system.
Why bringing DeFi to your users?
After staking, DeFi is the next source of digital asset rewards. While stablecoins make up over 70% of on-chain volume, less than 5% of them earn rewards for the holder. 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.
DeFi is the next step in your crypto earn offering after supporting staking. Diversify your rewards opportunities and benefit from service fees on your users’ stablecoin rewards.

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 Spark. DeFi platforms facilitate peer-to-peer lending and borrowing through smart contracts on blockchains like Ethereum.
In DeFi protocols like Spark, 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 Spark’s can drive a significant additional source of rewards for integrators.
