Two ways to grow your stablecoin

Share your reserve yield

Share part of your net interest margin wherever your stablecoin sits, at a rate that follows what your reserves earn.

Example: Sky shares its reserve yield on idle USDS in Morpho vaults.

Reward stablecoin activity

Set a rate for each behavior, on the venues you choose, funded by your net interest margin or a marketing budget.

Illustrative rates. You set each one, and the budget behind it.

Pay users directly, or the companies that bring them

Pay end users, wherever they are

Choose who is eligible, like users with idle balances, and pay them directly, even behind several layers of contracts.

Reward companies for their users

Merkl adds up what a company's users hold and streams rewards to the company directly. You manage the list of eligible wallets.

Built around your compliance framework

  • Apply your own KYC and KYB

    Only the protocols and clients that pass your checks become eligible. Merkl follows your compliance framework, not the other way around.

  • Onboard Merkl once, not every partner

    Merkl can sit between you and your partners as a single counterparty, so you run KYB on Merkl once instead of on every new partner.

  • Keep every program private

    Switch your Merkl program to private mode, and it stays invisible in the Merkl App. Deal terms and partner payouts are never exposed publicly.

Stay in control of every payout

Never pay more than you planned

Each recipient earns in exact proportion to their real balance over time. No snapshots: Merkl tracks every balance change, so no one gets paid for funds they held for a moment.

Fund it the way that suits you

Fund your budget from your own wallet and keep custody throughout. If you can't fund rewards upfront, Merkl offers accounts payable terms: payouts go out on schedule, and you settle later.

Verify every payout onchain

Rewards are computed transparently and published onchain, so you and your auditors can check who received what, and when. No black box: every payout leaves a verifiable trail.

Expand your program without rebuilding it

When your stablecoin lands on a new venue, pool or chain, add it to your program in a single API call, and its depositors become eligible right away, across 60+ chains. No smart contracts to write, audit or maintain: once your program is live, funding your budget is the only recurring task.

Merkl stories

How Sky rewards USDS Flagship Vault users without overpaying

Sky streams rewards on the idle USDS sitting in its Morpho vaults, so the portion that would otherwise earn nothing earns too, and nothing is spent where capital already earns.
