Get started

Stake your treasury directly, or bring staking to your users through our white label product.

Stake your assets with Kiln

Deploy Kiln's white-label solutions

Explore Kiln's featured integration use-cases

Overview

Discover the Kiln product suite that makes it easy to provide entreprise-grade staking to your customers.

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.

  • 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 editor, platforms can customize their earn sections to perfectly align with their unique brand, providing both flexibility and a personalized user experience.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

Polkadot (DOT)

Stake DOT with Kiln Dashboard in a few clicks!

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

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

Stake with Fireblocks

Fireblocks is currently the only supported option to stake DOT via the Kiln Dashboard.

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

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

Convert skimming validators to compounding validators

Consolidate validators to increase effective balance and enable auto-compounding

A new consolidation feature will let you convert skimming validators to compounding validators and merge them into target compounding validators. These consolidation requests are sent from the execution layer to a special smart contract with fee mechanisms to prevent DDoS attacks. To consolidate validators, you must control the withdrawal credentials of the source validators, and only compounding validators can be targets. There is one exception: when converting a single skimming validator to a compounding validator, you can send a consolidation request using the same validator as both source and target.

Enable compounding

You can enable compounding for any of your skimming validators through a consolidation request that uses the same validator as both source and target.

When connected to Kiln Dashboard, navigate to the Ethereum → Reporting page of your account. By hovering over an active Ethereum skimming validator, you’ll see the Enable Compounding option appear.

From the Enable Compounding page, select a skimming validator to enable compounding. To finalize, connect your wallet holding the withdrawal key and click Enable compounding to initiate the consolidation operation. Once the transaction is signed and broadcast, it will enter the consolidation on‑chain queue for execution by the consensus layer.

Consolidate validators

In Kiln Dashboard, you will be able to merge source skimming or compounding validators into target compounding validators.

After connecting to Kiln Dashboard, go to your account’s Ethereum → Reporting page. Click Consolidate to access the Consolidation page.

Connect the wallet holding the withdrawal key for the source validators you want to consolidate. Once connected, all validators associated with this withdrawal key will be displayed. Select your source validator and target validator. You can choose any active compounding validator from your account that Kiln operates as the target.‍

Click Consolidate to initiate the consolidation operations. Once the transaction is signed and broadcasted, they will enter the consolidation on‑chain queue for execution by the consensus layer.

Deposit into compounding validators

Deposit more ETH into your compounding validator

From Kiln Dashboard, you can deposit any amount of ETH into active compounding validators as long as the total balance remains under 2,048 ETH.

When connected to Kiln Dashboard, navigate to the Ethereum → Reporting page of your account. By hovering over an active Ethereum compounding validator, you’ll see the Deposit option appear.

On the deposit page, select your desired deposit amount and connect your wallet. Click Stake to initiate the transaction. Once the transaction is signed and broadcasted, you can monitor your deposit’s progress on the account reporting page.

Upgrade guide from v2 to v3

How to upgrade our JS SDK to new major version

v3 changelog

Here is the high level changelog of the v3:

  • The Kiln class now exposes a type safe HTTP client that exposes all Kiln Connect endpoints available. The client is generated from our OpenAPI specs. The OpenAPI typescript schema is also exposed so you can benefit from all type definitions. The schema and SDK will be updated frequently with newly added endpoints.

  • The fireblocks raw signing feature is now under the fireblocks service exposed by the Kiln class. A sign method is available for all protocols we support.

Upgrade from 2.X to 3.X

Update your dependencies:

bun i @kilnfi/sdk@latest

Update calls to use the http client instead of specific protocol object.

2.X:

const k = new Kiln({
  testnet: true,
  apiToken: 'kiln_xxx',
});

const vault: Integration = {
  provider: 'fireblocks',
  fireblocksApiKey: 'YOUR_API_USER_KEY', // your fireblocks API user key
  fireblocksSecretKey: apiSecret, // your fireblocks private key (generated with your CSR file and your API user)
  vaultId: 7 // your fireblocks vault id
};

...
const tx = await k.near.craftStakeTx(
      'account_id',
      'wallet',
      'pool_id',
      0.1,
    );
const txSigned = await k.near.sign(vault, tx);

3.X:

const k = new Kiln({
  baseUrl: 'https://api.testnet.kiln.fi',
  apiToken: 'kiln_xxx',
});

const vault: Integration = {
  provider: 'fireblocks',
  fireblocksApiKey: 'YOUR_API_USER_KEY', // your fireblocks API user key
  fireblocksSecretKey: apiSecret, // your fireblocks private key (generated with your CSR file and your API user)
  vaultId: 7 // your fireblocks vault id
};

const tx = await k.client.POST(
      '/v1/near/transaction/stake',
      {
        body: {
          account_id: 'account_id',

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!

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

Native EigenLayer Restaking - Reporting in the dashboard

When your stakes are related to an EigenLayer position, the Ethereum page will be updated with an EigenLayer section and your stakes will be showing an EigenLayer Logo if they are related to an EigenPod.

Reporting capabilities :

  • Total points across your EigenPod are displayed on the top of the section, the breakdown is visible in the table bellow the key metrics.

  • Total restaked balance :

    • Display the amount locked in your Eigenpods

    • note : if some of your balance is not yet it will still be included in this balance, we are computing it based on the validators linked to your EigenPods.

  • Total available balance :

    • Is the balance you can request to withdraw from your EigenPod, it's generally CL rewards or Exited validators. To request withdraw, hover one EigenPod and click "Request Withdraw".

    • There is a 7-day queue to fulfill a withdraw request.

  • Withdraw balance :

    • This balance displays the amount you requested to withdraw, you will be able to see the amount that is in the withdraw queue under pending and in ready the amount that you can withdraw. To fulfill a withdraw request that is ready, hover one EigenPod and click "Withdraw".

Please refer to the to learn more about other possible operations your can trigger when you over an EigenPod : Restake, Delegate, Request Withdraw, Withdraw.

Importing EigenPods for reporting :

  • When you click "Import Stakes" on top of the stakes table, then make sure you selected the By EigenPod option so that you can import stakes using your EigenPod Address, this way you can have reporting across multiple EigenPod in one view.

Staking workflow

How does staking work?

Algorand uses its own version of PoS called (PPoS). This system randomly selects block proposers and validators based on their stake, using cryptography to ensure fairness and security. No one can cheat the system or work together to control it because the selection happens privately and automatically.

Algorand’s staking rewards are given to users who actively contribute to network security by bringing their Algo online to participate in consensus. When an account’s proposed block is written to the chain, if the proposing account has at least 30,000 Algo then it will then be given an amount of Algo as a reward.

Full staking flow including block proposal and voting and can be found here:

https://developer.algorand.org/docs/get-details/algorand_consensus/

What is the staking process?

To start earning rewards, you will need to add your stake to the delegation pool provided by Kiln. When an account’s proposed block is written to the chain, if the proposing pool has at least 30,000 Algo then it will then be given an amount of Algo as a reward which will be distributed every 3 hours

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Utilising Reti Pooling, funds are sent over to the Reti global smart contract and finally to the validator pool contract. Those contracts are audited, controlled and deployed by the Algorand foundation.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime. To prevent gaming of the system, stakers who add or remove stake during an epoch receive only a partial reward for that epoch. The partial reward is calculated based on the percentage of time the staker was active in the epoch.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How do I unstake?

You can unstake by unbonding your funds, unstaking is immediate

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at block N for the rewards distribution is the balance at block N.

What is the slashing risk on Algorand?

Currently there is no slashing risk with Algorand Staking, While other networks rely on slashing penalties to discourage malicious behavior, Algorand removes poorly performing nodes with algorithmic removal

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid to the validator every 3 hours (Reti Pooling) and auto-compounded by default

Staking rewards vs Governance

The introduction of staking rewards is a significant change from Algorand's previous governance-focused reward system. While governance rewards incentivized community participation in decision-making, staking rewards shift the focus to active network participation.

This change makes the network more decentralized. The old governance rewards will gradually wind down as staking rewards take center stage. While the xGov program will continue to fund community projects, the pivot will be on retroactive grants for ecosystem builders rather than general governance participation.

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards

Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.

Staking Workflow

How does staking work?

On Cosmos chains such as Injective, token holders choose a validator to delegate a select amount of tokens to. The delegator initiates a delegation transaction, which involves locking their tokens in a smart contract. These tokens are then counted towards the validator's total stake.

What is the staking process?

After the delegation has been initiated, INJs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Staked INJs are not part of the balance anymore, but they don’t go to another address.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How do I unstake?

You can unstake by unbonding your funds. After you initiated the process:

• You stop receiving staking rewards

• It will take 21 days for the amount to be liquid

• But you will be able to cancel the unbonding process anytime, as this chain currently supports the function

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake (this takes 21 days).

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at block N for the rewards distribution is the balance at block N.

How is commission paid?

Comissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

  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

Accessing Kiln Connect

Generate & manage API key to access Kiln's Connect API

To integrate reporting in your platform or to stake programmatically, you need to generate an API Key for your team.

Prerequisites

  • You need at least one user onboarded in your Organization on Kiln's Dashboard

    • If you don't yet have access please contact our support team.

Generating an API Key by creating a new application

Start by navigating to Kiln's Dashboard: https://dashboard.kiln.fi

Please note if you need API access for the test network, you will need to have access to the testnet version of this dashboard, contact our support team for more information.

Step 1. Click on "Applications" in the navigation sidebar to start managing your API keys

Step 2. Then click on "Create application" to initiate the API Key creation flow

Step 3. Create a new application by setting a name for your API Key so you can identify it later in the list, you can also add a description, like "for testing purposes" so another team member can know who is using this key.

After clicking "Create application" your API Key will be generated and displayed only once, make sure you copy it and securely share it internally ⚠️

Manage existing API Access

Hover one row of the table to see the quick action buttons on the right side of the line.

  • In the case you need to rotate your API Key credentials, you can keep the same application name and credentials but regenerate the access token.

    • After clicking "Regenerate Token" your API Key will be generated and displayed only once, make sure you copy it and securely share it internally ⚠️

  • Click on "Update" to modify the API Key name or description.

SOL - Tag a stake

Stakes can be taggued using the Solana memo feature to enable Kiln to distinguish your stakes on-chain.

Solana memo instruction

A Solana transaction is composed of multiple instructions, executed one after the other. Here is an example of instructions you can define with the standard Solana @solana/web3.js package.

This transaction will be taggued with the hello, world! memo and will create, initialize and delegate a stake account.

What value should we use for the memo?

Kiln gives to each partner a fix value to include as memo in all the transactions they craft with the following format: kiln_{uuidv4}.

Slashing

Yes, the specifics about slashing are discussed here, focusing on enforcing penalties on validators who attest to or produce invalid blocks. The data availability sampling is used as a mechanism of the light clients to enforce the slashing of the committee of the validators.

How does staking work?

On Cosmos chains such as Celestia, token holders choose a validator to delegate a select amount of tokens to. The delegator initiates a delegation transaction, which involves locking their tokens in a smart contract. These tokens are then counted towards the validator's total stake.

What is the staking process?

After the delegation has been initiated, TIAs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Staked TIAs are not part of the balance anymore, but they don’t go to another address.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How does auto-compounding work?

In the Cosmos ecosystem, auto-compounding is possible through a module called Authz, that allows granting arbitrary privileges from one account (the granter) to another account (the grantee). Through Authz, delegators could grant Kiln's wallet to claim rewards and stake them back to the Kiln Validator. This grant can be revoked at any time.

How do I unstake?

You can unstake by unbonding your funds. After you initiated the process:

• You stop receiving staking rewards

• It will take 21 days for the amount to be liquid

• But you will be able to cancel the unbonding process anytime, as this chain currently supports the function

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake (this takes 21 days).

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at block N for the rewards distribution is the balance at block N.

What is the slashing risk on Celestia?

Downtime: During a block window (5,OOO blocks) if a validator signed less than 75% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 1 min but will not incur a slashing penalty. No rewards can be earned during that jail time. Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will incur a slashing penalty of 2% and the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again.

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards

Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.

What is the staking process?

In order to stake AVAX you need to initiate a validator staking transaction that will lock the funds for the selected time and act as self-bond. In order to initiate this transaction you need to enter a Node-ID which will be provided by Kiln.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

You can add additional delegations abiding the following:

  • Available Delegator Capacity (max = 4x the validator stake, effective 5x total)

  • minimum 2 week that must end on or before validator stake ends

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

The minimum is 2000 AVAX.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

You have to wait until the staking period ends. This period is defined by you when the staking starts and has a minimum of 2 weeks.

When can I withdraw my staked AVAX?

Once the relevant staking cycle ends. For example you initiated a validation stake for 4 weeks and an additional delegation for 2 weeks. You can withdraw your validation stake after 4 weeks and the delegation after 2 weeks.

When can I withdraw my rewards on staked AVAX?

Same above, once the relevant staking cycle ends, rewards will be available.

• You stop receiving staking rewards

• It will take 14 days for the amount to be liquid

• But you will be able to cancel the unbonding process anytime, as this chain currently supports the function

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake (this takes 14 days).

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at block N for the rewards distribution is the balance at block N.

What is the slashing risk on Osmosis?

Downtime: During a block window (30,OOO blocks) if a validator signed less than 5% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 1 min but will not incur a slashing penalty. No rewards can be earned during that jail time. Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will incur a slashing penalty of 5% and the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again.

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

Staking Mechanics

How does staking work?

Each IOTA validator maintains its own staking pool to track the amount of stake and to compound staking rewards. Validator pools operate together with a time series of exchange rates that are computed at each epoch boundary. These exchange rates determine the amount of IOTA tokens that each past IOTA staker can withdraw in the future. Importantly, the exchange rates increase as more rewards are deposited into a staking pool and the longer an amount of IOTA is deposited in a staking pool, the more rewards it will accrue.

What is the staking process?

You stake your IOTA tokens by sending a transaction to the network that calls the staking function implemented as part of the system Move package. This transaction wraps the IOTA tokens in a self-custodial stake object. This stake object contains such information as the validator staking pool ID and the activation epoch of the stake. For a list of supported IOTA wallets: For a demonstration of staking using an IOTA wallet:

Do funds move out to another wallet?

In IOTA's staking model, particularly in the newer IOTA 2.0 and Shimmer protocols, you retain full control over your private keys and tokens at all times.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes

How do I unstake?

Similar to staking, a user withdraws their stake from a validator by sending a transaction that calls the unstaking function in the system Move package. This transaction unwraps the stake object, and sends both the principal and the accumulated rewards to the user as IOTA tokens. You accrue rewards only during epochs where the stake is active for the entire epoch. The rewards withdrawn from the validator's rewards pool are calculated based on the activation epoch and unstaking epoch of the stake.

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

Your reward is typically calculated based on the amount of your stake and the performance of your chosen signal provider at the beginning of the epoch.

What is the slashing risk on IOTA?

Validators are monitored through a "Tallying Rule" system, where each validator assesses the performance of others. If a validator receives a low score due to misbehavior or inefficiency, they can be penalized by having their stake rewards slashed.The Tallying Rule scores are computed at the end of each epoch, and validators are expected to actively monitor and update their assessments of peers to ensure network health

How is commission paid?

Each epoch, within a given validator staking pool, all stakers are assigned the same proportion of rewards through the pool's exchange rate appreciation. Additionally, as validators earn commissions over the stake they manage, validators receive additional StakedIOTA objects at the end of each epoch in proportion to the amount of commissions their staking pool earns.

Staking rewards are funded by stake subsidies released at the end of the epoch. The total stake subsidy per epoch is 767k IOTA, which is distributed among pools according to their voting power and the tallying rule.

Staking workflow

How does staking work?

On Cosmos chains such as Zetachain, token holders choose a validator to delegate a select amount of tokens to. The delegator initiates a delegation transaction, which involves locking their tokens in a smart contract. These tokens are then counted towards the validator's total stake.

What is the staking process?

After the delegation has been initiated, ZETAs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Staked ZETAs are not part of the balance anymore, but they don’t go to another address.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How do I unstake?

You can unstake by unbonding your funds. After you initiated the process:

• You stop receiving staking rewards

• It will take 21 days for the amount to be liquid

• But you will be able to cancel the unbonding process anytime, as this chain currently supports the function

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake (this takes 21 days).

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at block N for the rewards distribution is the balance at block N.

What is the slashing risk on Zetachain?

Downtime: During a block window (5,000 blocks) if a validator signed less than 50% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 10 min and will incur a 0.1% slashing penalty. No rewards can be earned during that jail time. Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will incur a slashing penalty of 5% and the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again.

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

Getting started

There are a few setup steps needed to start using the Kiln Connect SDK. Contact [email protected] should you have any feedbacks / questions.

1. Install the SDK

The Kiln Connect SDK is only available in TS/JS for now, if you have other programming language requirements, please contact the support.

# using bun
bun install @kilnfi/sdk​

2. Retrieve your Kiln API key

Create an application on your Kiln Dashboard, and retrieve the given API key.

The API key is used to authenticate with the Kiln REST API which can manage Kiln accounts, craft transactions, and provide reporting data.

Create an application on your Kiln dashboard
Copy your Kiln API Key

3. Set up Fireblocks (required to sign transactions)

In the case that you would like to craft and sign transactions with your Fireblocks vault, you will need to setup the following in Fireblocks:

  1. The raw signing feature is required on all protocols except on EVM compatible protocols (ETH, MATIC). Make sure that it is enabled in your workspace in case you wish to stake on other protocols. You can ask the Fireblocks support for information.

  2. Create an API user using the Fireblocks tutorial here with the Editor role (minimum privilege to initiate transactions on the workspace). This might require that you contact your Fireblocks support.

  3. Generate the CSR certificate and make sure you store it somewhere safe.

  4. Get the API key of the user by clicking on "Copy API key" of the user in the workspace members list

  5. Get the vault account id you want to stake with by clicking on it in your Fireblocks workspace and check the URL. For example the vault id of https://console.fireblocks.io/v2/accounts/vault/4 is '4'.

With the Kiln Connect SDK, you remain entirely in control of what is sent for signing to your Fireblocks workspace. You can verify the content of the transactions crafted with this SDK before signing it. Note that the entire signing workflow is done on the SDK end, not on Kiln APIs. Kiln will never have access to your Fireblocks API key or secret key.

4. Configure the SDK

You can now configure the SDK with you Kiln API token.​

import { Kiln } from '@kilnfi/sdk';
import fs from "node:fs";

// Fireblocks secret key
const apiSecret = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/fireblocks_secret.key', 'utf8');

const k = new Kiln({
    baseUrl: 'https://api.kiln.fi',
    apiToken: 'KILN_API_KEY',
});


const tx = await k.client.POST(
  '/v1/near/transaction/stake',
  {
    body: {
      account_id: 'd3f1b917-72b1-4982-a4dd-93fce579a708',
      wallet: 'c36b1a5da2e60d1fd5d3a6b46f7399eb26571457f3272f3c978bc9527ad2335f',
      pool_id: 'kiln.pool.f863973.m0',
      amount_yocto: '1000000000000000000000000',
    }
  }
);

const signResponse = await k.fireblocks.signNearTx(vault, tx.data.data, "NEAR_TEST");

const broadcastedTx = await k.client.POST("/v1/near/transaction/broadcast", {
  body: {
    signed_tx_serialized: signResponse.signed_tx.data.signed_tx_serialized,
  }
});

How does staking work?

On Cosmos chains such as Kava, token holders choose a validator to delegate a select amount of tokens to. The delegator initiates a delegation transaction, which involves locking their tokens in a smart contract. These tokens are then counted towards the validator's total stake.

What is the staking process?

After the delegation has been initiated, KAVAs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Staked KAVAs are not part of the balance anymore, but they don’t go to another address.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How does auto-compounding work?

In the Cosmos ecosystem, auto-compounding is possible through a module called Authz, that allows granting arbitrary privileges from one account (the granter) to another account (the grantee). Through Authz, delegators could grant Kiln's wallet to claim rewards and stake them back to the Kiln Validator.

How do I unstake?

You can unstake by unbonding your funds. After you initiated the process:

• You stop receiving staking rewards

• It will take 21 days for the amount to be liquid

• But you will be able to cancel the unbonding process anytime, as this chain currently supports the function

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake (this takes 21 days).

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at block N for the rewards distribution is the balance at block N.

What is the slashing risk on Kava?

Downtime: During a block window (10,000 blocks) if a validator signed less than 5% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 10 min and will incur a 0.01% slashing penalty. No rewards can be earned during that jail time. Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will incur a slashing penalty of 5% and the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again.

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards

Validators earn the exact same amount of rewards, that is distributed to their top 512 nominators proportionally to their bonded tokens.

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.

Learn more.

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.

Minimum requirement

The protocol minimum currently sits at 354k TON. However as there are some voting fees and running a validator is expensive at Kiln we recommend a minimum of 700k TON per single nominator contract

Maximal optimal stake per pool

The optimal stake per pool is correlated to how the elector smart contract selects the validators and their effective stake. It currently works the following way:

  • For each epoch, the elector selects all the candidates of more than 300k TON

  • The elector orders all those candidates in descending order

  • If there are more candidates than the maximum possible (Currently 400) the elector trims the candidates in the lower end

  • All those 400 or fewer candidates will then enter the active set

  • A parameter called the max_factor outlines that the maximum effective stake can only be as high as the minimum stake that entered the active set multiplied by the max_factor. Currently, this max_factor is 3 and the minimum active stake for each epoch is usually seating around 354k TON making the maximum effective stake around 1.06M.

  • Usually, each pool holds a stake for even and odd epochs, holding space for 2.12M TON on each pool to still earn optimal rewards.

Active set

Yes (400 validators)

Slashing

Yes, if validator is idle or behaves maliciously can get slashed.

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards

Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn, until 1M TON threshold where there are no additional rewards for additional TON. A new single nominator contract has to be deployed in this case.

What is the staking process?

After the single nominator contract has been deployed the user can send funds to the contract

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Funds move to the single nominator contract which the user owns and can withdraw at any time.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes

How does auto-compounding work?

After every epoch the additional TON earned is used to generate additional rewards

How do I unstake?

You can unstake by withdrawing from the single nominator contract when the funds are not being used to validate

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake

What is the slashing risk?

Downtime: During an epoch if a validator signed less than a certain threshold of the blocks, he will get slashed for 101 TON Double signing: Validator won't be able to validate for the epoch so it will get the downtime slashing

How is commission paid?

Commissions are invoiced to the customer as there is no commission dispatching on chain for the single nominator contract

Is the single nominator smart contract custodial?

No, this staking is 100% non custodial as the user holds the private key of the wallet that can withdraw from the single nominator contract. The validator can only "Borrow" the TON in order to valdiate and gives it back at the end of the epoch. At a protocol level there's no way a validator can use the funds for any other task

Minimum Stake

1024 IP

Unbonding time/Lockup period

14-day unlock period for all staking token types(locked or unlocked). During the unbonding period, the delegator/validator will not earn block rewards. But they may still be slashed.

Rewards frequency

The reward is accumulated per block and can be distributed per block. However, it will only be automatically distributed to the delegator’s account when it is larger than a threshold. The default and also minimal threshold is 8 IP, which means that only if the delegator’s reward is more than 8 IP, it will be sent to the delegator’s account

Active set

Yes, currently the top 64. Kilns validator will be in the active(bonded) set

Slashing

Yes - slashing will be implemented from mainnet launch

How does staking work?

For every block, a fixed proportion of token inflation will go to the rewards distribution pool, which will be shared among all 64* active validators according to each of their share weights. These allocated tokens will then be shared among the validator and its delegators in a fashion described by the next section. The validator share weight is calculated based on the total token staking amount, and whether or not the token staking type is locked or unlocked.

What is the staking process?

To start earning rewards, you will need to add your stake to the validator run by Kiln. If a fixed period is chosen, a delegation id will be returned to the users. Users must use this delegation id to unstake tokens from this stake operation. If flexible staking is chosen, the returned delegation id will be 0.

The staking amount needs to be larger than a threshold, which is 1024 IP.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

No

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, However, the redelegated tokens are still subject to the unbonding process(14 days)

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

Can I unstake a portion of my stake?

Partial unstake of a delegation is supported. For example, if a 1-year long delegation has 1 million tokens, after 1 year, users can unstake 500k from this delegation and keep the remaining staked to continue earning rewards.

Whats the difference between Locked v Unlocked Tokens?

Unlocked tokens have no restrictions imposed on them and can be used for gas consumption, transfers, and staking.

Unlike unlocked tokens, locked tokens cannot be transferred or traded and are unlocked based on an unlock schedule. However, locked tokens may be staked to earn staking rewards, with the locked staking reward rate being half of that of unlocked tokens.

Staked locked and unlocked tokens have the same voting power. That means that a validator with 100 staked locked tokens has the same network voting power as a validator with 100 staked unlocked tokens.

Delegators can decide how flexible and how long they want to stake their tokens. By default, for both locked and unlocked tokens, delegators can stake and then unstake immediately and get their token back after the unbonding time. This is called ‘Flexible Staking’.

Both types of tokens can be slashed if their validators get slashed.

How do I unstake?

When staking without a staking period, users can unstake anytime. The tokens will be distributed to the user’s account after the unbonding time.

A fee of 1 IP will be charged for unstaking to prevent spamming. The fee will be burnt by the contract.

The minimum unstaking amount is 1024 IP. After the unstaking request is processed, if the remaining staked amount is less than 1024 IP, the remaining part will also be unstaked together.

The unstaking request will first go through the unbonding process, which is 14 days. After that, the unbonded requests are sent to a withdrawal queue, distributing a maximum of 32 withdrawals per block. If there are more than 32 withdrawal requests in the withdrawal queue, the next 32 withdrawal requests will be processed in the next block.

What is the slashing risk on Story?

Validators must act honestly and perform well; otherwise, they risk being slashed (losing a portion of the stake entrusted by their delegators). Slashing occurs in two main scenarios:

  1. Downtime: This happens when a validator’s node is offline and misses 95% of the past 28,800 blocks. As a result, the validator is jailed. They can unjail and return to the active set, but their delegators will irrevocably lose 0.02% of their staked amount.

Double-signing: This occurs when a validator mishandles their key and signs one block twice. In this case, the validator is permanently jailed (tombstoned), and their delegators lose 5% of their tokens. It’s a significant and severe penalty, as the validator is removed from the network permanently.

Flare (FLR)

Flare is using a fork of Avalanche blockchain and has 2 types of staking available:

  • Staking on the C chain on FTSO (EVM compatible)

  • Native staking on the P chain validators

Kiln is running on both. For ease of use we currently recommend staking on the C chain

Self-bond

The validator must self-bond a minimum of 20M FLR.

Staking Workflow

How does staking work?

In the FTSO, staking involves delegating your tokens to data providers (signal providers). These providers submit data to the oracle, like cryptocurrency prices. Your stake contributes to the weight of their vote.

What is the staking process?

You choose a signal provider and delegate your tokens to them. This is done through the Flare interface or a compatible wallet. There's no need to transfer tokens; it's more like setting a preference.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

The funds technically leave your wallet to a smart contract that can only withdraw to your address.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can continually stake and unstake to the same wallet.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you have control over how much of your balance you want to delegate to a signal provider

How do I unstake?

Unstaking usually involves removing the delegation from the signal provider. This can be done through the wallet or platform interface where you staked. This process takes 0 to 3.5 days.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can choose to unstake a portion of your delegated tokens.

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

Your reward is typically calculated based on the amount of your stake and the performance of your chosen signal provider at the beginning of the epoch.

What is the slashing risk on the FTSO chain?

Only the signal provider's tokens are subject to slashing.

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid as rewards are earned.

Staking workflow

How does staking work?

Staking on the P-Chain involves locking funds for a period of time to support a specific network validator.

What is the staking process?

In order to stake FLARE you need to initiate a staking transaction that will lock the funds for the selected time. In order to initiate this transaction you'll need to enter the Node-ID provided by Kiln

Do funds move out to another wallet?

No, the funds are locked in the staking process but do not move to another wallet.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes you can add additional stake up to 5 times the initial staked amount as delegation to the same node. To unstake, you have to wait until your delegation cycle ends

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, the minimum is 50,000 FLR

How do I unstake?

You have to wait till the staking period ends. This period is defined by you when the staking starts and has a minimum of 2 weeks.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

You have to wait till the staking period ends. This period is defined by you when the staking starts and has a minimum of 2 weeks.

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.

Staking workflow

How does staking work?

NEAR is a PoS network, however delegation is not implemented at the protocol. Instead, validators (such as Kiln’s) deploy a standardised smart contract to which delegations are sent. From a user perspective, similarly to dPOS protocols the act of delegation just involves sending one transaction, which you can do on this page using the widget on the right. is an example of such a transaction, delegating 5 NEAR to the Kiln validator on testnet. For more details on how staking works on NEAR, .

What is the staking process?

Tokens are sent to the validator Smart Contract using the deposit_and_stake function of the contract.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Yes, they are sent to the pool smart contract.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How do I unstake?

You can unstake from Kiln dashboard by going to your account containing your NEAR stakes, and clicking unstake. Note, that once you unstake, it will take 3-4 epochs (45-60hrs) for you to be able to withdraw the tokens to your wallet.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake.

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of epoch N.

What is the slashing risk on NEAR?

Slashing is not yet implemented on NEAR, so there is a very limited risk of collateral losses.

How is commission paid?

The Kiln NEAR validator retains a commission - a % of staking rewards earned - by default.

What is the staking process?

CORE staking is comparable to other dPOS chains. Once the delegation happens, CORE tokens will be attributed to a chosen operator. Core DAO’s methodology for integrating bitcoin staking centers on . Basically, when users stake their BTC, they send a transaction to themselves, with a native timelock enforced on the output. Users can redeem the BTC after the timelock has ended (see image above).

You can find more details about Bitcoin Native Staking .

What is the reward claim process?

Visit: and connect your Wallet/custody solution.

NOTE: Ensure you have some CORE in your wallet to pay gas fees for the initial rewards claim.

What is Dual Staking?

Dual staking was introduced during Core's "Fusion Upgrade" released in November of 2024. It is a mechanism that incentivizes BTC stakers to stake CORE in order to boost their BTC staking rewards. It does so by reducing the "base reward" on staked BTC to boost rewards of higher tiers.

How does it affect my rewards on my staked BTC?

Your BTC staking rewards are determined by your CORE:BTC staking ratio:

  • If you stake less than 1,000 CORE per BTC: You receive the base rate

  • If you stake 1,000-2,999 CORE per BTC: You receive Level 1 boosted yield

  • If you stake 3,000-7,999 CORE per BTC: You receive Level 2 boosted yield

  • If you stake 8,000+ CORE per BTC: You receive Level 3 (maximum) boosted yield

For example, if you stake 10 BTC, you would need:

  • 10,000 CORE for Level 1 boost

  • 30,000 CORE for Level 2 boost

  • 80,000 CORE for Level 3 (maximum) boost

The actual multiplier for each tier is dynamic and adjusts based on market supply and demand conditions. to see the current reward rate you would get by staking [X] BTC for [X] CORE. Important note: For tier changes to take effect, users must wait until the next 00:00 UTC after staking CORE, and then claim all existing rewards to reset the tier calculation system.

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency as the reward distribution (every round).

MATIC to POL Migration

What is changing?

  • Polygon is undergoing a 1:1 technical upgrade from MATIC to POL, affecting MATIC holders and stakers.

  • POL will be the new gas and staking token on Polygon PoS and Ethereum networks.

  • Staking will continue only on the Ethereum chain. The stake manager contract will be upgraded without address changes, simply introducing new functions to operate with POL.

What action should I take?

  1. If you hold MATIC on Polygon PoS:

    • No immediate action is needed. Your MATIC will automatically upgrade to POL, though it may still show as "MATIC" in your wallet if the RPC settings are not updated.

    • If you want, you can manually update your wallet's display to show POL.

  2. If you hold MATIC on Ethereum or CEXes:

    • You need to upgrade your MATIC to POL. You can use the Polygon Portal for this: POL Upgrade Portal.

    • Avoid sending funds directly to the migration contract to prevent loss of funds.

    • Advanced users can use a deployed contract to upgrade MATIC to POL permissionlessly, but caution is advised.

  3. If you are staking MATIC on Ethereum:

    • The conversion to POL is automatic. No action is needed unless you wish to prevent this change, in which case you must unstake your MATIC before September 1st.

    • Note that unstaking takes 48 hours, so plan accordingly.

  4. If you hold POL on Ethereum:

    1. You can stake POL from Kiln Dashboard.

What is coming up later?

  • There is no deadline for users to upgrade. All MATIC on Polygon PoS & staked MATIC on Ethereum will upgrade automatically on Sept 4 2024.

  • POL may have additional utility in the future on the Polygon POS chain. If you would like to stake POL, you need to bridge it from Polygon PoS to Ethereum mainnet.

Staking ADA effectively requires strategic planning to maximize rewards:

  • Avoid oversaturation: To maintain optimal performance, keep your stake below the current pool saturation threshold (approximately 70 million ADA). This threshold may adjust based on the number of active pools in the network.

  • Managing large stakes: For amounts exceeding the saturation level, consider splitting your delegation across multiple pools. Cardano staking mechanics stake the entire ADA balance in a wallet, so distributing funds across multiple wallets may be necessary to manage larger stakes effectively.

  • Epoch activation: Stakes activate at the end of the second (n+2) epoch. Consult the epoch calendar to plan your staking timing.

  • Support available: If you need guidance on any aspect of the staking process or selecting an optimal pool, feel free to reach out to our support team.

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards

Almost linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.

Note that:

  • more a validator pledge, more rewards are received.

  • there is a saturation of 70M ADA. Above this amount of delegated tokens on the same validator, rewards are capped (not able to grow further).

Staking workflow

What is the staking process?

The ADA wallet is delegated to a pool id and all the tokens contained inside this wallet are staked on the pool. The rewards go to the stake address of your wallet and must be withdrawn to receive them on your wallet.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

No, ADAs never leave your wallet.

Basically you keep the assets on your ada wallet and receive rewards on the stake address of your wallet.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, by transferring in and out tokens, you need to withdraw available rewards.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

All the ADA inside a delegated wallet are staked. All tokens in a delegated wallet are taken into account in the staked amount.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

No, if you unstake it's the whole wallet. But you can transfer out of your wallet any amount of ADA to unstake a part of it.

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of epoch N-2.

Is there a minimum stake amount needed?

Please ensure to stake at least 4 ADA. When you first stake, 2 ADA will be held as a deposit (which is refundable when you deregister), and there will be a small transaction fee, usually between 0.17 and 0.3 ADA.

As a result, if you start staking 4 ADA, only around 1.7 ADA will actually be used for staking.

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards

Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.

Staking workflow

How does staking work?

On Cosmos chains such as the Cosmos Hub, token holders choose a validator to delegate a select amount of tokens to. The delegator initiates a delegation transaction, which involves locking their tokens in a smart contract. These tokens are then counted towards the validator's total stake.

What is the staking process?

After the delegation has been initiated, ATOMs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Staked ATOMs are not part of the balance anymore, but they don’t go to another address.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How does auto-compounding work?

In the Cosmos ecosystem, auto-compounding is possible through a module called , that allows granting arbitrary privileges from one account (the granter) to another account (the grantee). Through Authz, delegators could grant Kiln's wallet to claim rewards and stake them back to the Kiln Validator. This grant can be revoked at any time.

How do I unstake?

You can unstake by unbonding your funds. After you initiated the process:

• You stop receiving staking rewards

• It will take 21 days for the amount to be liquid

• But you will be able to cancel the unbonding process anytime, as this chain currently supports the function

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

• Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake (this takes 21 days). • Be aware that you can only unbond ATOM seven times with the same validator within a twenty-one day period.

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at block N for the rewards distribution is the balance at block N.

What is the slashing risk on the Cosmos Hub?

Downtime: During a block window (10,000 blocks) if a validator signed less than 5% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 10 min and will incur a 0.01% slashing penalty. No rewards can be earned during that jail time. Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will incur a slashing penalty of 5% and the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again.

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

DYDX - How to bridge your rewards

How to bridge your rewards using Kiln Connect, regardless of your custody solution.

Rewards earned on DYDX are DYDX-USDC. In this tutorial we will present how to bridge these rewards to Ethereum or to Osmosis using the Kiln SDK. These flows can be done directly from Kiln Dashboard if you are using Fireblocks.

Bridge to Ethereum

The goal of this bridge is to bring your dYdX rewards in USDC on your ETH address so that you can use them for other purposes like depositing them on a centralized exchange to get some dYdX back.

To convert your DYDX-USDC to USDC on Ethereum, we will use the Noble bridge developed by Circle, which is the recommended on-chain approach.

There is 3 steps to this flow:

1) Transfer the USDC from DYDX to the Noble chain

2) Burn the USDC on Noble

3) Mint the USDC on Ethereum

Here is a TypeScript code snippet that you can use:

import { Kiln } from "@kilnfi/sdk";
import axios from 'axios';

const f = async () => {
  const k = new Kiln({
    baseUrl: 'https://api.kiln.fi',
    apiToken: 'YOUR_KILN_API_TOKEN',
  });

  /**
   * Send dydx-usdc rewards to noble
   */
  // Craft IBC transfer transaction
  const transferTx = await k.client.POST(
    '/v1/dydx/transaction/noble-ibc-transfer',
    {
      body: {
        pubkey: '02d92b48d3e9ef34f2016eac7857a02768c88e30aea7a2366bc5ba032a22eceb8b',
        amount_uusdc: '1000000',
      }
    }
  );
  // Sign the transaction with Fireblocks or your custody solution
  const signResponse = await k.fireblocks.signDydxTx(vault, tx.data.data);
  // Broadcast the transaction on DYDX
  const broadcastedTx = await k.client.POST("/v1/dydx/transaction/broadcast", {
    body: {
      tx_serialized: signResponse.signed_tx.data.tx_serialized,
    }
  });


  /**
   * Burn the usdc on noble for eth address recipient
   */
  // Craft burn transaction
  const txburn = await k.client.POST(
    '/v1/noble/transaction/burn-usdc',
    {
      body: {
        pubkey: '02d92b48d3e9ef34f2016eac7857a02768c88e30aea7a2366bc5ba032a22eceb8b',
        amount_usdc: '1000000',
        recipient: '0xBC86717BaD3F8CcF86d2882a6bC351C94580A994',
      }
    }
  );
  // Sign the transaction with Fireblocks or your custody solution
  const signResponseBurn = await k.fireblocks.signDydxTx(vault, txburn.data.data);
  // Broadcast the transaction on Noble
  const broadcastedTxBurn = await k.client.POST("/v1/noble/transaction/broadcast", {
    body: {
      tx_serialized: signResponseBurn.signed_tx.data.tx_serialized,
    }
  });

  /**
   * Mint the USDC on Ethereum to the recipient
   */

  // Fetch the attestation from circle's API (https://developers.circle.com/stablecoins/reference/getattestation)
  const { data: attestation } = await axios.get(`https://iris-api-sandbox.circle.com/v1/messages/4/${burnTxHash}`);

  // Craft the Ethereum mint transaction
  // todo: Kiln to add this part to the sdk
  const mintTx;
  // Sign and broadcast the transaction with Fireblocks on Ethereum
  const txHash = await k.fireblocks.signAndBroadcastEthTx(vault, mintTx);
};

f();

Bridge to Osmosis

The goal of this bridge is to bring your dYdX rewards in USDC on another cosmos address here on Osmosis so that you can use them for other purposes like depositing them on a centralized exchange or a Swap on Osmosis to get some dYdX back.

This flow follows two steps:

1) Transfer the DYDX-USDC to the Noble chain

2) Transfer the USDC on Noble to Osmosis

Here is a TypeScript code snippet that you can use:

import { Kiln } from "@kilnfi/sdk";
import axios from 'axios';

const f = async () => {
  const k = new Kiln({
    apiToken: 'YOUR_KILN_API_TOKEN',
  });

  /**
   * Send dydx-usdc rewards to noble
   */
  // Craft IBC transfer transaction
  const transferTx = await k.client.POST(
    '/v1/dydx/transaction/noble-ibc-transfer',
    {
      body: {
        pubkey: '02d92b48d3e9ef34f2016eac7857a02768c88e30aea7a2366bc5ba032a22eceb8b',
        amount_uusdc: '1000000',
      }
    }
  );
  // Sign the transaction with Fireblocks or your custody solution
  const signResponse = await k.fireblocks.signDydxTx(vault, tx.data.data);
  // Broadcast the transaction on DYDX
  const broadcastedTx = await k.client.POST("/v1/dydx/transaction/broadcast", {
    body: {
      tx_serialized: signResponse.signed_tx.data.tx_serialized,
    }
  });


  /**
   * Send usdc from noble to osmosis
   */
  // Craft IBC transfer transaction
  const tx = await k.client.POST(
      '/v1/noble/transaction/osmo-ibc-transfer',
      {
        body: {
          pubkey: '02d92b48d3e9ef34f2016eac7857a02768c88e30aea7a2366bc5ba032a22eceb8b',
          recipient: 'osmo1qz0jvz6v3v7z2zg3z2zg3z2zg3z2zg3z2zg3z2',
          amount_uusdc: '1000000',
        }
      }
    );
  // Sign the transaction with Fireblocks or your custody solution
  const signResponse = await k.fireblocks.signDydxTx(vault, tx.data.data);
  // Broadcast the transaction on Noble
  const broadcastedTx = await k.client.POST("/v1/noble/transaction/broadcast", {
    body: {
      tx_serialized: signResponse.signed_tx.data.tx_serialized,
    }
  });
};

What is the staking process?

After the delegation has been initiated, CROs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Staked CROs are not part of the balance anymore, but they don’t go to another address.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How does auto-compounding work?

In the Cosmos ecosystem, auto-compounding is possible through a module called , that allows granting arbitrary privileges from one account (the granter) to another account (the grantee). Through Authz, delegators could grant Kiln's wallet to claim rewards and stake them back to the Kiln Validator.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake (this takes 28 days).

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at block N for the rewards distribution is the balance at block N.

What is the slashing risk on Cronos?

Downtime: During a block window (5,OOO blocks) if a validator signed less than 50% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 1 day but incur a reduction in its staked amount. No rewards can be earned during that jail time Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will incur a slashing penalty of 5% and the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again.

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

Staking mechanics

To participate in Tezos Proof of Stake, you first need to delegate your wallet's balance to a baker. This delegates all XTZ tokens in your wallet. Once delegated, you can choose to stake assets for higher reward. Both delegated and staked assets earn rewards based on their share of the baker's staking power. However, staked assets earn twice the rewards of delegated assets (before baker fees).

Adaptative Issuance

You way see the Delegating/Staking APR fluctuate over time when monitoring your positions or looking on an explorer.

This is due to the that lets the network automatically find the “Goldilocks” level for staking rewards – just enough for a desired level of economic security, but not higher than that, so as to minimize dilution.

The rate adjusts based on the share of tez (out of the total supply) that is staked, with a target of about 50%. If the staked share goes below 48%, rewards increase to incentivize more funds being staked. If it goes above 52%, rewards are reduced to avoid issuing more tez than is required for network security.

Those looking to explore the mechanism further can check out our , which lets you test various scenarios to see the rewards rate as well as estimated rewards for a given baker.

Stake with Fireblocks

While FET is not supported natively by Fireblocks you can still use Fireblocks raw signing to Stake FET, a specific setup is required on your Fireblocks Vault.

  • When using raw signing on unsupported Fireblocks assets, please be aware that accounts and balances will not be displayed in the Fireblocks UI.

Please find more details below the video in the

Fireblocks is currently the only supported option to stake FET via the Kiln Dashboard. The video below introduces the way to stake ATOM (Cosmos), FET as a Cosmos chain follow the same process.

Raw signing for unsupported assets on Fireblocks UI

This guide will help you set up and use raw signing for unsupported assets on Fireblocks UI and staking from Kiln Dashboard.

Setting up raw signing in Fireblocks

Define a new raw signing rule for your vault.

  • In your Fireblocks TAP, create a specific raw signing rule.

  • For FET you need to include the cosmos-based chain derivation path on a specific vault id.

  • Here is an example where we enable raw signing on the vault 37 (see derivation path: 44, 118, <vault id>, 0, 0):

    Please replace the third number in the derivation path with your vault id for enable raw sining on cosmos based chains for this vault.

    Once you have , you can use your credentials to stake FET using your Fireblocks Vault and API access.

Funding your wallet and stake FET in Kiln Dashboard

  1. Navigate to the Kiln Dashboard.

  2. Connect your Fireblocks vault in the staking section.

  3. Once connected, copy your address from the dashboard.

  4. Fund this address with the desired amount of FET, start with a small amount before transferring the total amount you want to stake.

  5. Your balance will be visible directly in the Kiln Dashboard under the input field.

  6. Then click Stake the selected amount as presented in the video.

  7. Unstaking operations are managed as all assets in Kiln Dashboard.

Withdrawing principal and rewards

Once you unstaked your assets you have two options for withdrawing:

  1. Using Scripts

    • Utilize the provided CLI script (documentation to be sent separately).

  2. Using Kiln Dashboard

    • Log into the Kiln Dashboard.

    • Navigate your FET portfolio page and click on Send.

    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete your withdrawal.

Device approval

Please note that while we can sign transactions using the Fireblocks API, the reporting capabilities on your approval device are incomplete until this asset is fully supported by Fireblocks.

Expect to see only the metadata added by the dashboard in the transaction request.

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

Stacks (STX)

Due to the high operational cost of managing STX staking, we ask for a minimum staking position of 100k STX per customer.

Please notify your point of contact at Kiln before delegating to our pool.

Self-bond

The baker owned stake, the self bond, must represent 10% of total delegation.

Ex: A baker with a owned stake of 5M XTZ has a delegation capacity of 45M XTZ.

→ The delegation capacity depends solely on the baker's self-bonded stake.

The staking capacity is nine times the baker's owned stake (self bond).

Ex: A baker with a owned stake of 5M XTZ has a staking capacity of 45M XTZ.

→ The staking capacity depends solely on the baker's self-bonded stake. → When a user stakes, their delegation is dismissed from the baker’s delegation capacity, and only the staked amount counts toward the baker's stake capacity.

None

Slashing

No, as a delegator, the only risk is not earning the potential rewards. In the case of slashing, only the staked amount is slashed.

Yes, if the Baker double bakes, Stakers could lose up to 10% of their stake. In the context a double endorse, it's 50%. It's worth noting that such events are extremely rare on Tezos.

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards

Linear. The more stake balance there is on the baker, the more rewards it will earn.

Linear. The more stake balance there is on the baker, the more rewards it will earn.

What is the staking process?

The Tezos wallet is delegated to a baker and all the tokens contained inside this wallet are on that baker. The rewards go directly in the wallet.

The XTZ staked funds remain in your wallet, but are frozen by the protocol and actively participating in consensus. The rewards will be paid directly to your wallet, and they come from protocol-level incentives.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

No, XTZs do not move anywhere, they never leave your wallet.

No, XTZs do not move anywhere, they never leave your wallet.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

You can adjust your delegation amount by transferring tokens in or out of your wallet.

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

No, all the XTZs inside a delegated wallet are delegated. All tokens in a delegated wallet are taken into account in the delegated amount.

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How do I undelegate/unstake?

When stopping delegation to our baker, you will still receive staking rewards from the last 11 days.

You can undelegate from the Dashboard or also from:

From Ledger Live

In your Tezos Account in Ledger Live, click on the 3-dots menu on the right, then “End delegation”:

From Templewallet

You can also delegate to another baker from Templewallet. To do so, go to your Tezos subsection, then in the “Delegate” tab, click on “Re-Delegate”

When unstaking, you will stop receiving rewards immediately. After submitting an unstake request, your chosen amount becomes finalizable after 4 cycles (~11 days).Then, you will need to finalize unstaked balances in order to make them spendable.

Removing stake can be done with the Kiln dashboard, the unstake command in Octez, or via your wallet’s user interface.

Can I unstake/undelegate part of the staked balance?

No, if you undelegate, it's for the whole wallet. However, you can transfer out of your wallet any amount of XTZ to undelegate a part of it.

Yes, you can unstake part or all of your staked funds.

How is my balance computed at cycle N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at cycle N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of cycle N-4.

The balance computed at cycle N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of cycle N.

How is commission paid?

We use the TRD software to distribute Tezos baking rewards. Rewards are redistributed every on-chain cycle (~2.8 days) to the same XTZ address you are delegating with.

Rewards are paid and commissions are taken natively at the protocol level. Rewards are redistributed every on-chain cycle (~2.8 days) to the same XTZ address you are staking with.

How do I monitor my rewards?

You can monitor your rewards from the Dashboard, by going to the Tezos explorer page of your Delegating Account address or directly from your wallet.

Staking workflow

How does staking work?

Aptos uses an owner-operator-voter model for staking. This model enables the creation of delegations and staking services by separating the account that holds the funds from other accounts responsible for managing those funds, such as operators and voters. This separation ensures that delegations of responsibilities can be made securely, without compromising the safety of the funds held in the account.

Owner: When someone creates an account on the Aptos blockchain, they become the owner of that account and the funds it contains.

Operator: An operator is the validator operator. The Owner can delegate the management of their funds to the Operator. The Owner can assign the accounts operator address to the Operator allowing for the account to participate in transaction validation on the chain.

Voter: The Owner can designate a Voter to participate in governance. The voter will use the voter keys to sign the governance votes. Traditionally, voter privileges are assigned to the Operator.

What is the staking process?

To start earning rewards, you will need to add your stake to the delegation pool

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Tokens do move out of your account but your accounts remains the only one that can operate an unstaking function. This enables you too keep the custody of your funds while they earn rewards.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How do I unstake?

You can unlock stake at any time. However, the stake will only become withdrawable after the delegation pool's lockup period expires (0-30 days). Unlocked stake will continue earning rewards until the stake becomes withdrawable.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake. The minimum amount to unstake is 10 APT.

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of epoch N-1.

What is the slashing risk on Aptos?

Currently, slashing is not implemented on Aptos.

How is commission paid?

Staking rewards are auto-compounded. The commission is paid when delegators unstake their positions.

Unbonding Period (continued):

You can unlock your staked APT at any time. However, the unlocked stake will only become withdrawable after the delegation pool's lockup period expires, which can range from 0 to 30 days. During this waiting period, your unlocked stake will continue to earn rewards until it becomes available for withdrawal.

While CRO is not supported natively by Fireblocks you can still use Fireblocks raw signing to Stake CRO, a specific setup is required on your Fireblocks Vault.

  • When using raw signing on unsupported Fireblocks assets, please be aware that accounts and balances will not be displayed in the Fireblocks UI.

Please find more details below the video in the Raw signing for unsupported assets on Fireblocks UI section.

Fireblocks is currently the only supported option to stake CRO via the Kiln Dashboard. The video below introduces the way to stake ATOM (Cosmos), CRO as a Cosmos chain follow the same process.

Raw signing for unsupported assets on Fireblocks UI

This guide will help you set up and use raw signing for unsupported assets on Fireblocks UI and staking from Kiln Dashboard.

Setting up raw signing in Fireblocks

Define a new raw signing rule for your vault.

  • In your Fireblocks TAP, create a specific raw signing rule.

  • For CRO you need to include the cosmos-based chain derivation path on a specific vault id.

  • Here is an example where we enable raw signing on the vault 37 (see derivation path: 44, 118, , 0, 0):

Please replace the third number in the derivation path with your vault id for enable raw sining on cosmos based chains for this vault.

Once you have setup your Fireblocks Vault, you can use your credentials to stake CRO using your Fireblocks Vault and API access.

Funding your wallet and stake CRO in Kiln Dashboard

  1. Navigate to the Kiln Dashboard.

  2. Connect your Fireblocks vault in the staking section.

    Connect Fireblocks vault
  3. Once connected, copy your address from the dashboard.

  4. Fund this address with the desired amount of CRO, start with a small amount before transferring the total amount you want to stake.

  5. Your balance will be visible directly in the Kiln Dashboard under the input field.

  6. Then click Stake the selected amount as presented in the video.

  7. Unstaking operations are managed as all assets in Kiln Dashboard.

Withdrawing principal and rewards

Once you unstaked your assets you have two options for withdrawing:

  1. Using Scripts

    • Utilize the provided CLI script (documentation to be sent separately).

  2. Using Kiln Dashboard

    • Log into the Kiln Dashboard.

    • Navigate your CRO portfolio page and click on Send.

    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete your withdrawal.

Device approval

Please note that while we can sign transactions using the Fireblocks API, the reporting capabilities on your approval device are incomplete until this asset is fully supported by Fireblocks.

Expect to see only the metadata added by the dashboard in the transaction request.

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

    • Holesky address: 0x642c646053eaf2254f088e9019ACD73d9AE0FA32

This contracts should be whitelisted alongside the staking and exiting contract for native staking in our dashboard that can be found here

Native EigenLayer Restaking - Step-by-Step

Setup in the dashboard

As shown in the demo video below, ensure you select the "EigenLayer restaking" checkbox in the ETH staking widget of Kiln Dashboard.

Step required to start restaking on EigenLayer

  1. Deploy an EigenPod. One EigenPod is needed for each wallet to manage your native restaked position. This pod will also receive CL rewards and the balance from exited validators.

    • Note: This EigenPod can be re-used for several validators.

  2. Deploy validators with this EigenPod set as the withdrawal credentials.

    • Note: it is not possible to change the withdrawal credentials of an already-live validator, you will need to exit your validator and restake on a new one to change them.

Activation period & next steps

After you sign all of the transactions you can track your position in the Ethereum overview section.

Please note that your ETH has not been restaked yet. You will need to wait 8 to 12 hours for your validator to become eligible for restaking activation.

Activate your restaking position

Once your validator is in the consensus layer entry queue, you're required to upload a proof to the EigenLayer contract for each validator.

In the reporting section, you will be able to see your EigenPod in status Restakable. Hover the right part of the row to display the quick action buttons, click "Restake" to start restaking.

The restake validator modal will open, connect with your right wallet and then click "Enable Restaking". Kiln's API will generate the needed EigenLayer Proofs and will prepare the right transaction to prove your validators.

Restaking - proof upload operational note

  1. Kiln's Dashboard will batch proof upload by 60 validators.

    eg. Native restaking of 2048 ETH, require running 64 validators, batching them by 60 proofs will require you to sign at least 2 transactions to complete restaking.

  2. You will need to repeat this action if you stake new validators in the future.

Delegate your EigenPod to Kiln

You can delegate your EigenPod by clicking on the Delegate action button on the EigenPod. You will be able to see the status updated and the active validator, in our case Kiln.

Congrats, you have now natively restaked, and your validator is helping secure EigenLayer AVSs and earning corresponding rewards.

To go further, you can explore the EigenLayer Reporting documentation and the EigenLayer Withdraw flow.

Behind the scenes

To restake an Ethereum validators on the EigenLayer platform, the withdrawal_credentials address of the validator are set to an EigenPod Contract address. EigenPod is a contract deployed per restaker address, one address = one pod maximum. This is all handled by the Dashboard.

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards

Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.

Staking Workflow

How does staking work?

On Cosmos chains such as Fetch.ai, token holders choose a validator to delegate a select amount of tokens to. The delegator initiates a delegation transaction, which involves locking their tokens in a smart contract. These tokens are then counted towards the validator's total stake.

What is the staking process?

After the delegation has been initiated, FETs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Staked FETs are not part of the balance anymore, but they don’t go to another address.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of tokens you want to stake to earn rewards.

How does auto-compounding work?

In the Cosmos ecosystem, auto-compounding is possible through a module called , that allows granting arbitrary privileges from one account (the granter) to another account (the grantee). Through Authz, delegators could grant Kiln's wallet to claim rewards and stake them back to the Kiln Validator. This grant can be revoked at any time.

How do I unstake?

You can unstake by unbonding your funds. After you initiated the process:

• You stop receiving staking rewards

• It will take 21 days for the amount to be liquid

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the amount of tokens you want to unstake (this takes 21 days).

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at block N for the rewards distribution is the balance at block N.

What is the slashing risk on Fetch.ai?

Downtime: During a block window (10,OOO blocks) if a validator signed less than 5% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 10 min and will incur a 0.01% slashing penalty. No rewards can be earned during that jail time. Double signing: When a validator attests to two different blocks, it will face slashing. Stakers who have delegated to the slashed validator will incur a slashing penalty of 10% and the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again. Delegators will have to redelegate to another validator in order for their stake to earn rewards again.

How is commission paid?

Commissions are paid to the validator at the same frequency than the reward distribution (every block).

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards

A validator's balance is always 32 ETH and the rewards earned depend on the effective balance.

What is the staking process?

When staking through Kiln dashboard, your ETH is deposited into the ETH2 deposit contract, and associated with a validation key that Kiln generates for you. This validation key is then used to instantiate a validator deployed on Kiln infrastructure. The validator performs on-chain duties on the Ethereum Beacon Chain, namely attestations and block proposals. For this activity rewards are earned and accrue to your withdrawal wallet.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Yes, they are sent to the official ETH2 deposit contract.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes, you can stake / unstake multiple validators from the same wallet.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you can select a multiple of 32 ETH that you want to stake to earn rewards.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

Yes, you can select the number of validators (multiple of 32 ETH) you want to unstake.

Who can withdraw the staked ETH?

Only the wallet you use to issue your deposit can be used to withdraw your stake, and accrued rewards. Kiln or any other party cannot do that. This means you must ensure you retain control of the wallet you use to deposit your stake.

When can I withdraw my staked ETH?

You can withdraw your staked ETH anytime you want. Be aware that the duration of this action varies according to the network's exit queue.

When can I withdraw my rewards on staked ETH?

Both consensus and execution rewards are automatically distributed to your withdrawal wallet.

What are the risks associated with staking?

When you stake with this service, Kiln will operate validator(s) on your behalf. If these validators are incorrectly operated, it is possible for a portion of the funds you have staked to be slashed, meaning they are destroyed by the protocol. This is very rare in general and has never happened in Kiln’s history of operating Ethereum validators, our infrastructure is purpose-built to reduce this risk. You should however be aware that the risk is not 0. For more details and Kiln’s coverage please read our T&Cs or the Order Form you have signed with Kiln.

View available options .

How to integrate staking into a wallet/custodian solution?

In order to stake BTC on Babylon you need to initiate a staking transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain. The components of these transactions are: 1. The Finality Provider information: You will specify which Finality Provider (Validator) you are delegation your staked assets to. 2. A Timelock Transaction: You lock your coins for a specific amount of time. After that amount of time has passed, the coins can be instantly redeemed. 3. Slashing transaction: You pre-sign a transaction that will slash some of your staked coins if an only if your Finality Provider double-signs when securing consumer chains. Please see the wallet integration guide .

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

You can not add to your existing stake position. If you want to stake more, it will have to be through a different position.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

That functionality is not allowed by the protocol for now.

When can I withdraw my staked BTC?

Either - After redemption, at the end of the timelock period you have set when you initiated the staking action. Funds will instantly be withdrawn. - After you initiate an "unbonding" transaction, which will withdraw your BTC after 7 days.

How to stake

Stake from Kiln Dashboard with Fireblocks

Stake from Staking Rewards' Webapp

Step 1: Prepare a supported Bitcoin wallet

Rewards frequency

First rewards: 1 epoch after stake is active (2-2.5 days + 2-2.5 days). Rewards frequency: beginning of every epoch (2-2.5 days). Last rewards: last rewards earned before unstaking.

Yes

Self-bond

None

Active set

None

Slashing

No automated slashing currently implemented in the protocol. Can be done by a manual action from the community.

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards

Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.

Staking workflow

What is the staking process?

Each new stake creates a Stake Account (which is like a sub-wallet) with your wallet set as withdrawer. This Stake Account is delegated to a validator.

Do funds move out to another wallet?

Yes, funds are moved to a created & owned by your address.

Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?

Yes. You can create multiple stake accounts from the same wallet and deactivate them independently. You can deactivate an account and add more SOL on it before re-activating it.

Can I select how much of my wallet balance I want to stake?

Yes, you select the amount of SOL to send to a stake account when you create it.

How do I unstake?

Unstaking a Solana stake is a two step process:

  • Deactivate your stake: this can done from the dashboard, go to Overview > Select your Kiln account > Select the SOL view > Click "Deactivate stake" from the menu of one of your active stakes. You will need to connect with the wallet owning the stake. Once done it takes one epoch to deactivate your stake (~2-3 days).

  • Withdraw your stake: once your stake has been successfully deactivated, you can withdraw your stake. This can also be done via the dashboard via the same process used to deactivate your stake. There is no delay on withdrawals, the full stake amount and its rewards will be transferred to your wallet.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?

You can split a stake account to 2 stake accounts and deactivate + withdraw only one of them. This way unstaking only a precise amount from your existing stakes. Deactivate is an operation that takes 2.5 days (1 epoch) and allows you to stop a stake account from staking to make it withdrawable. The flow to unstake a stake account is:

  1. 1 tx to deactivate it (2.5 days)

  2. 1 tx to withdraw it (instant once 1 is done)

How is my balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution?

The balance computed at epoch N for the rewards distribution is the balance at the beginning of epoch N-1.

How is commission paid?

Each and the same for all funds on a given validator. The validator takes its commission automatically when rewards are generated. Your staking rewards are distributed net of the validator commission.

How do I monitor my rewards?

You can monitor your rewards by going to the Solana explorer page of your Stake Account address ()

You can also do so using the get .

How are Solana staking rewards distributed ?

Solana stake account are auto compounding. Staking takes about 2 epoch to be effective and earn reward. Solana unstaking time is about 2 days. Staking time and unstaking time depends on the amount of new stake and unstake requests.

Solana uses inflation to pay staking rewards, this means new SOL is created every epoch. Inflation was first activated on mainnet-beta at the start of 2021 at a rate of 8%, decreasing at a rate of 15% per year (that’s 15% of 8%) until it will eventually settle at a terminal rate of 1.5%.

Staking yields are based on the current inflation rate, the total number of SOL staked, and individual validator uptime and commission. A validator’s commission fee is the percentage fee paid to validators from network inflation. Validator uptime is defined by a validator’s voting. One vote credit is earned for each successful validator vote and votes are tallied at the end of the epoch for reward calculation.

The other reward are the block reward which make up a less important part of the APY. Currently the fee system is very simple, users pay 5,000 lamports (0.000005 SOL) per signature on their transaction. When a validator produce a block, it earns 50% of the transaction fee times the number of transaction in the block. The other 50% are burnt.
