With traditional programs, chains send funds to protocols with no guarantee they will be used as promised, leading to misallocations that undermine the entire program. With Merkl, your chain keeps full custody of the incentives. Set up campaigns directly on Merkl, allocate rewards per protocol, and remove the need to send funds or require KYC from each partner.
Go live in days, not months
Merkl already supports most major DeFi protocols out of the box: lending platforms like Aave, Morpho, and Euler; DEXs like Uniswap and PancakeSwap; perps and more. No lengthy integrations, no delays. Merkl can be fully operational on your chain with a week's notice, enabling instant deployment across your entire ecosystem.
Direct capital where it matters
Merkl's composable engine gives you deep control over how incentives are distributed. Cap reward rates, prevent malicious behaviors, and fine-tune allocations to direct capital precisely where your chain needs it most, without overspending.
Give your community a unified experience
Since each protocol tracks users differently, building a coherent view of a chain-wide program is a challenge. Merkl solves this with a unified frontend where users see all reward opportunities in one place, chains can run leaderboards across their ecosystem, and all campaign data is available in real time via the Merkl App and the Merkl API.
Rely on battle-tested infrastructure
Merkl is the infrastructure behind the largest chain-wide incentive programs of the past year: Plasma's launch, Superfest by Optimism, DRIP by Arbitrum, BOB Rise by BOB, Apple Farm by Etherlink, and more. When your chain's growth is on the line, you need infrastructure that has already proven itself at scale.
How Plasma became the 5th-largest DeFi chain in 7 days with Merkl
To kickstart its chain, Plasma partnered with Merkl to launch an ambitious six-month reward program.
