Cardano (ADA)

Stake ADA with Kiln Dashboard in a few clicks!

Please ensure to stake at least 4 ADA to be above the minimum value.

When you decide to delegate your ADA to a stake pool for the first time, there are costs to consider:

1. Stake Address Registration Deposit:

   • You need to register your stake address on the blockchain, which requires a refundable deposit of 2 ADA. This deposit is returned to you if you ever choose to deregister your stake address.

2. Transaction Fees:

   • There is a transaction fee for processing the delegation, usually around 0.17 to 0.3 ADA.

This means that when you start staking with 4 ADA, only about 1.7 ADA will be effectively staked.

On the /stake/ada page of the dashboard you can check staking information about the network and stake your ADA in a few clicks with an intuitive onboarding.

Select the Account you want to stake on, the validator to delegate to, the amount of ADA you wish to stake and connect your wallet to stake!

Once you have setup your Fireblocks Vault, you can use your credentials to stake ADA using your Fireblocks Vault.

Fireblocks connect

Some notes about Fireblocks raw signing:

1. Due to technical limitations in Fireblocks API, the connection goes through Kiln's Fireblocks proxy

2. No Fireblocks account information or associated secrets are stored within any of Kiln's services, including our dashboard

3. We have ensured that no logs capture this sensitive data

4. The operational design guarantees that these secrets are transmitted directly to the Fireblocks API, without any interim storage

5. Please note that upon reloading the dashboard or selecting the 'disconnect wallet' option, the system terminates access to any Fireblocks-related information
