# Overview

Kiln is a staking platform you can use to stake directly, or whitelabel staking into your product. 

We enable you or your clients to **stake crypto assets, manually or programmatically, while maintaining custody of your funds** in your existing solution, such Fireblocks, Copper, or Ledger.

In these docs, we will take you through how to do all that. 

Happy integration, and don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions!

## Product architecture

* **Kiln Dashboard** enables you to stake in 1-click, monitor your rewards and manage your team and organisation accounts.&#x20;
* **Kiln Widget** enables platforms to launch a fully branded decentralized application (dApp) or seamlessly embed it into any web-based interface. With the [Kiln Widget](https://widget.kiln.fi/earn) editor, platforms can customize their earn sections to perfectly align with their unique brand, providing both flexibility and a personalized user experience.&#x20;
* **Kiln dApp** enables you to connect your wallet and stake in a single click
* **Kiln Onchain** enables you to offer Ethereum staking via a set of smart-contracts, with fully automated onchain rewards and commission management and a marketplace of integrated node operators. It is built in a modular way to enable you to offer dedicated (multiples of 32 ETH) or pooled (any amount) staking, and to issue a dedicated liquid staking token or not based on your requirements.&#x20;
* **Kiln DeFi** enables native integration of DeFi protocols into their wallets or platforms while also earning fees. The solution is 100% on-chain, fully automated, and provides a simplified integration. Utilize the Kiln API for native integration directly within your platform or customize our widget to fit your needs.
* **Kiln Connect** enables you to programmatically manage your staking accounts, craft staking and unstaking transaction, sign and broadcast with your custodian, and pull rewards and monitoring data for each stake you made. Kiln Connect is realtime and network-wide/validator-agnostic, meaning you do not need to stake with Kiln Validators to benefit from it!&#x20;
* **Kiln Validators** are the base of our platform, running and securing the network on all the blockchains we support.

Note that Onchain, Dashboard and Connect are validator-agnostic, meaning they are compatible with your in-house or 3rd party validators.&#x20;
