Validators
Currently all our public validators are set at 100% commission for our B2B customers. If you delegate to them without an agreement with Kiln, you will not earn any rewards. This also applies to our nomination pool, as it exclusively nominates our validators.

Staking workflow
What is the staking process?
When joining a nomination pool, you need to choose the amount to bond (ie stake). The pool will nominate validators on your behalf.
Do funds move out to another wallet?
Yes, the bonded funds move to the nomination pool stash account.
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?
Yes, you can bond extra tokens to the same wallet and unbound / withdraw several times.
Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?
Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to bond in a stash account.
Can I unstake part of the staked balance?
Yes, to do so you can select the amount of tokens you want to unbond (this takes 28 days), and then withdraw it (instant).
How is my balance computed at era N for the rewards distribution?
The balance computed at era N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of era N-1.
