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!
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 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.

Kiln provides public / shared validators you can delegate to and can also deploy dedicated white-labelled validators on demand.
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.

Unbonding time
7 days for unstaking/withdrawal from the staking account
Re-delegating activation time
Yes, redelegation is possible; delegators can change validators. I would treat the exact transition timing as ~1 minute / epoch
Rewards frequency
Every Epoch - 1 minute
Minimum Stake
10,000 HYPE self-stake for the validator
Active set
Yes - 25
Slashing
No automatic protocol slashing currently. Validators can, however, face operational consequences such as being unable to participate effectively if they have downtime/latency issues


































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.
Auto-compounding
Enabled via the pooling mechanism we use (Reti Pooling)
Unbonding time
Instant. No lockup times
Rewards frequency
Rewards are distributed every 3 hours
Active set
None
Slashing
None
How does staking work?
Algorand uses its own version of PoS called Pure Proof-of-Stake (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.
Stakes can be taggued using the Solana memo feature to enable Kiln to distinguish your stakes on-chain.
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.
Kiln gives to each partner a fix value to include as memo in all the transactions they craft with the following format: kiln_{uuidv4}.

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.
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.

Manage your Kiln accounts
All Kiln Connect protocols are supported in the SDK.
Find Kiln Connect documentation here:
Kiln is a non-custodial staking provider. As a customer and owner of your assets, it is YOUR responsibility to check and verify all the transactions you are signing. While Kiln provides tooling to help you interact with your stakes (web applications, APIs), Kiln is not responsible for the transactions that you sign.



There are a few setup steps needed to start using the Kiln Connect SDK. Contact sales@kiln.fi should you have any feedbacks / questions.
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/sdkCreate 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.
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:
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.
Create an API user using the Fireblocks tutorial with the Editor role (minimum privilege to initiate transactions on the workspace). This might require that you contact your Fireblocks support.
Generate the CSR certificate and make sure you store it somewhere safe.
Get the API key of the user by clicking on "Copy API key" of the user in the workspace members list
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 is '4'.
You can now configure the SDK with you Kiln API token.

Unstake, re-delegate and withdraw your DYDX rewards in Kiln Dashboard
You can unstake DYDX by simply clicking "Unstake" on your stake. After that you will be able to connect your Fireblocks Vault and unstake your DYDX.
Please keep in mind that the unstaked DYDX becomes unbonding and you will need to wait for 30 days before you can use those DYDX again.
Re-delegating an DYDX stake can be useful when you wish to move your staked DYDX to a different validator without waiting for the 30 days unbonding period happening when unstaking.
This can be done by selecting "Re-delegate" for a DYDX stake on the dashboard and specifying a new validator.
You can withdraw your available DYDX rewards, by selecting "Withdraw rewards" on the dashboard. After that you will be able to connect your Fireblocks Vault and withdraw your DYDX rewards on a wallet
Limitations with some wallets
In some cases, you may not be able to directly move the DYDX-USDC rewards earned from your staking activities. To address this, you can bridge your available USDC balance from the dYdX chain to any Ethereum mainnet address directly from Kiln Dashboard.
Using the Noble Bridge
This bridging process leverages the , which is recommended by the dYdX Foundation and Circle.
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 redelegate them from kiln's dashboard.
Step-by-Step Bridging Process
From the Dashboard, under the DYDX section, click on the "Bridge to Ethereum" button above the stakes table.
A modal will appear and guide you through the following three steps:
Transfer USDC from dYdX to your wallet on the Noble chain.
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 redelegate them from kiln's dashboard.
Step-by-Step Bridging Process
From the Dashboard, under the DYDX section, click on the "Bridge to Osmosis" button above the stakes table.
A modal will appear and guide you through the following two steps:
Transfer USDC from dYdX to your wallet on the Noble chain.
Once you performed your bridge to ethereum or to a cosmos wallet like or , you can reinvest the earned rewards back into DXDY token.
From your destination chain you can use any wallet to transfer the ETH-USDC, for example to an exchange or a marketmaker to purchase more DYDX and send them back to your dYdX address to them on Kiln's dashboard.
To save on fees you can leverage the feature to then perform a Then from page, find your DYDX token and click "withdraw".
Then edit your receipient address to the address you use to delegate in Kiln's dashboard, so that you will directly see the DYDX in your available balance and.
Unstake and withdraw your ADA rewards in Kiln Dashboard
You can unstake ADA by simply clicking "Unstake" on your stake. After that you will be able to connect your Fireblocks Vault and unstake your ADA.
You can withdraw your available ADA rewards, by selecting "Withdraw rewards" on the dashboard. After that you will be able to connect your Fireblocks Vault and withdraw your ADA rewards.
Please note that you need to restake to the same pool the stakes made prior to the Plomin Cardano hardfork that occurred on Jan 29th 2025 in order to withdraw available rewards.
This action will set up the required governance certificates attached to your stake to "always abstain".

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.
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.

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

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).

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.

The Tron Network has three system resources: TRON Power (TP), Bandwidth, and Energy.
TRON Power (TP)
TRON Power is also known as "Voting Rights" on the Tron network. TP is obtained by staking TRX, earning 1 TP per TRX staked.
Bandwidth
With the exception of queries, all transactions on the network consume bandwidth.
Bandwidth is earned by staking TRX. Each account also receives a small amount of free bandwidth per day. Consumed & free Bandwidth is gradually replenished over 24 hours.
If available bandwidth is insufficient for a transaction a small amount of TRX needs to be burned.

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:

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.

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.
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(

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',

}
}
);
// 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,
}
});
/**

*/
// 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

const mintTx;
// Sign and broadcast the transaction with Fireblocks on Ethereum
const txHash = await k.fireblocks.signAndBroadcastEthTx(vault, mintTx);

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:

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. 2-5% of stake can be slashed for double signing
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 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 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).
Yes, you can choose the specific amount of XDC you want to stake
Can I unstake a portion of my stake?
Yes, partial unstaking is generally possible
How do I unstake?

What is the slashing risk on Sei?
Downtime: During a block window (108,000 blocks) if a validator signed less than 5% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 10 min but will not be slashed. 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 not incur a reduction in their stake but the validator won't ever be able to earn rewards again.

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

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.
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.






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.

Kiln
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?
How can I get testnet tokens?
You can request some here.
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.

After the delegation has been initiated, OSMOs are changed to validator shares of the validator you delegate to.
Do funds move out to another wallet?
Staked OSMOs 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?
Enabled on the Kiln validator through the AuthZ module. See .
Yes, you can increase the staked amount or unstake part of it at anytime.

Execution of smart contracts consume Energy. More complex smart contracts consume more energy.
Energy is also earned by staking TRX. Energy consumed is also gradually replenished over 24 hours.
When available Energy is insufficient, a small amount of TRX needs to be burned.
Burned TRX = Energy quantity * Unit price of Energy
The total daily Energy supply across the network is fixed and distributed proportionally based on the amount of TRX staked.

Kiln's validator's performance is visible on the official Polygon staking website. The methodology used for ther Performance Index is described here.
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?
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.
If you hold MATIC on Ethereum or CEXes:
You need to upgrade your MATIC to POL. You can use the Polygon Portal for this: .
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.
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.
If you hold POL on Ethereum:
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.

How does staking work?
On Cosmos chains such as dYdX, 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.

Kiln
There are two ways to unstake Ethereum validators with Kiln.
Following the Shapella upgrade, you can unstake your validators in a couple of clicks from the Kiln dashboard:
You can request multiple validators to exit by:
Selecting them on the dashboard and using the batch request exit button (ideal for specific stakes; otherwise, use option 2).
Using the batch request exit on the dashboard and adjusting the slider to auto-select stakes (for exiting many stakes simultaneously).
Inputting a list of validators in the requestExit function with the bytes[] validators parameter.
On the dashboard you can see when a stake is pending to exit along with the estimated time it will take (look for the status Exit requested).
The addresses of our Ethereum Exit Contracts are as follows:
For more details on what happens behind the scenes when you unstake, check out .
In Option 1, you rely on Kiln processing the requestExit message that you send via the Dashboard. Option 2 is a fully non-custodial approach we describe below.
The validator exit operation requires the validator’s validation key to sign a VoluntaryExit message and broadcast it to the Consensus Layer. It has become an industry standard that the validation keys are protected by the node operator themselves and are rarely shared with customers; having the same validation key in multiple places exposes the staker to slashing risks.
The problem we are trying to solve is the following:
As an ETH holder staking on dedicated ETH validators through a node provider, I want to be able to exit my validator without relying on the node operator to perform the VoluntaryExit task.
This is why at Kiln we developed a full flow to provide pre-signed VoluntaryExit messages to all our clients.
We built our ExitMessage API, which exposes signed VoluntaryExit messages of your validators, encrypted using your GPG key, this way guaranteeing that only you can access these messages. After getting these messages you can decrypt them and send them directly to a beacon chain node which will execute the exit.
Provide PGP/GPG public key
PGP/GPG key must be provided in order to encrypt the messages in our database and in the API
The public key can be shared with your CSM or Sales Engineer and they’ll share it internally
PGP/GPG private key must be stored in a safe place as it’ll be the only way to decrypt the messages.
If you have any questions on this flow, please don't hesitate to reach out to your CSM or SE.
In certain cases, you may need to verify your wallet credentials before you can generate the exit messages, these are the steps to be taken:
Head to the "Wallet" tab and click on "Add wallet"
Click on "Connect wallet"
Then click on "Add Wallet" and sign the transaction

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 dYdX ?
Downtime: During a block window (8,192 blocks) if a validator signed less than 20% of the blocks, he will get jailed for 2h but will not be slashed. 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 not incur a reduction in their stake but 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 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. Here 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, visit this page.

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

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.

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.

All of the following protocols offer support for :
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).
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.

Can I unstake part of the staked balance?
Yes, you can select the amount you want to unstake Exception: partial withdrawals with vesting contracts is not supported on Pooled contract
What is the slashing risk?
Downtime: During an epoch if a validator signed less than a certain threshold of the blocks, it will get slashed for 101 GRAM Double signing: Validator won't be able to validate for the epoch so it will get the downtime slashing
How is commission paid?
Pooled contract: Commissions are taken onchain
Single Nominator Pool: 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 GRAM in order to validate 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

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.
The Stake App supports the below BTC staking wallets. Install the browser extension for your preferred wallet and deposit your BTC before proceeding to the next step.

Navigate to the Kiln’s BTC Staking Interface. The direct link will be:
Connect your wallet. If you’re visiting the website for the first time, you will need to sign the signature request to get your wallet connected.
Input the amount of BTC you want to stake. During Babylon Phase 1, you have the option to stake between 0.005 and 5,000 BTC per transaction.
Select or switch the address format in your wallet.
Next you can choose to keep the current network fee or prioritize your delegation by increasing the transaction fee.
If your stake arrives after the cap is filled, then it will be in the “overflow” status and you will need to unbond and withdraw your BTC.
Finalize the staking process by clicking “Stake” and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Congratulations you have successfully staked your BTC to Babylon via Kiln’s Finality Provider. You can now track your staked position via the Staking Terminal.
To stake Bitcoin on Babylon with Fordefi, perform the following steps:
Make sure you have a Bitcoin vault with a taproot address, and that you have the Bitcoin you want to stake on that address.

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).

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.
You way see the Delegating/Staking APR fluctuate over time when monitoring your positions or looking on an explorer.
This is due to the Adaptive Issuance mechanism 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 Adaptive Issuance Simulator, which lets you test various scenarios to see the rewards rate as well as estimated rewards for a given baker.

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 , 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 .

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 880k-930k GRAM making the maximum effective stake around 2.6M-2.79M GRAM
Depending on the staking solution the maximum per pool varies:
Pooled contract: The pool automatically balances the total pool amount across the optimal number of validators, with no limit on validators per pool. This makes it the easiest "stake and forget" solution, as it eliminates the need to manually balance funds across pools
Single Nominator pool: Each pool can accommodate a maximum of two validators—one for even epochs and another for odd epochs. Assuming 900k GRAM as the minimum active stake, a pool with two validators can hold up to 3.6M GRAM while still maintaining optimal rewards
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.
What validator clients does Kiln run?
Kiln runs a combination of Prysm, Teku and Lighthouse validator clients.

Yes.
Can I unstake part of the staked balance?
That functionality is not allowed by the protocol for now.

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 until the beginning of the next epoch before you can withdraw (0-2.5 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 tx to deactivate it (2.5 days)
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 .
Are rewards affected depending on when I unstake during an epoch?
No, you earn full rewards for the epoch whether you unstake at the beginning or end.
Will I lose rewards if I redelegate from validator A to validator B?
You will lose 1 epoch worth of rewards if you redelegate to a new validator. If you unstake during epoch N you will earn full rewards for that epoch, none for N+1, and can then earn full rewards for N+2.

First rewards: Immediate at the end of the current cycle.
Rewards frequency: at the end of every cycle.

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

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 4 cycles (~4 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 (~4 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 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 software to distribute Tezos baking rewards. Rewards are redistributed every on-chain cycle (~1 day) 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 (~1 day) 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 page of your Delegating Account address or directly from your wallet.
