From Kiln Dashboard
Stake, analyse and manage in 1-click on all major PoS chains.
From custody platforms
Stake directly with Kiln from your custody platform interface.
From Kiln dApp
Stake your ETH for dedicated validators and engage in Restaking.
From wallets
Stake directly with Kiln from your self-custody wallet's user interface.




Kiln provides public / shared validators you can delegate to and can also deploy dedicated white-labelled validators on demand.
Here is how you can find Kiln's validator addresses
When staking on different protocols, you will need to find Kiln's validator addresses if you choose to stake with Kiln.
Addresses on all protocols can be found in this section
⛓️ProtocolsDiscover 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
Note that Onchain, Dashboard and Connect are validator-agnostic, meaning they are compatible with your in-house or 3rd party validators.
Stake on Kiln public validators or use our dedicated validator offer to stake directly.
List of Protocols Kiln will decommission before the end of 2025. Dates for decommission will be added once we have confirmed internally shutdown times.
We are shutting down some protocols as part of a broader effort to streamline our focus and deliver more value to our customers. This means simplifying our offering and tightening our listing criteria to prioritize higher-revenue chains, and focusing on those with the strongest customer demand. Due to this we will cease running the supported validators below before the end of this year.

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.

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:
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.
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!

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.

Yes
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.

2M IOTA to join Validator set -
If an active validator’s stake falls below 1.5M IOTA, the validator has seven epochs of grace period to gain back the stake before being removed from the validator set.
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:https://wiki.iota.org/get-started/wallets/ For a demonstration of staking using an IOTA wallet: https://docs.iota.org/about-iota/iota-wallet/how-to/basics
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.

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?

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.

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 here 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.

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
Double signing: Validators who sign a block twice are penalized with a 5% slash of staked tokens and permanent removal from the validator set. This prevents blockchain forks and compromises to consensus.
Extended downtime: Validators who are offline for a significant period (missing 95% of the last 28,800 blocks) face a 0.02% slash and temporary jailing.
Insufficient self-delegation: Validators with a stake below the 1,024 $IP minimum are jailed
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.





Staking Pool Address
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.

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:
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

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
After connecting and selecting your Fireblocks vault, simply choose the amount and click "stake." Before signing your transaction, decode it in or your preferred decoding tool. Carefully review and confirm that the decoded transaction details match your intended action.
In Minitel, you can paste your transaction's raw message content, retrievable from your Fireblocks console, to decode it.
For a complete walkthrough, check out the demo below - The video below introduces the way to stake ATOM (Cosmos), CRO as a Cosmos chain follow the same process.
This guide will help you set up and use raw signing for unsupported assets on Fireblocks UI and staking from Kiln Dashboard.
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.

Stake TON with Kiln Dashboard in a few clicks!
On the /stake/ton page of the dashboard you can check staking information about the network and stake your liquid TON as well as your TON in a vesting contract in a few clicks with an intuitive onboarding.
The Kiln Dashboard offers two TON staking options: pooled contracts with a 10 TON minimum stake, and single nominator pools requiring at least 700k TON. For more details about TON mechanics, please refer to this page.
Prior to staking the account used to stake must have done any transaction before staking in order to be activated. If your wallet is new please make a small transfer of TON to any address in order to activate the account. If this step is not done the transaction will fail.
Easily connect your TON wallet through TON Connect
Connect your Fordefi wallet by selecting TON Connect as your connection method (see in )
In the list that appears (see in ) , click Tonkeeper.
Choose Browser extension from the Tonkeeper options
In the list that appears in the Chrome extension, choose the vault that you want to connect and click connect.
Once you have , you can use your credentials to stake TON using your Fireblocks Vault.
After connecting and selecting your Fireblocks vault, simply choose the amount and click "stake." Before signing your transaction, decode it in or your preferred decoding tool. Carefully review and confirm that the decoded transaction details match your intended action.
In Minitel, you can paste your transaction's raw message content, retrievable from your Fireblocks console, to decode it.
For a complete walkthrough, check out the demo below
If you are the owner of TON in a vesting contract, you have the ability to stake your locked TON from the contract to a single nominator pool or the pooled contract. The conditions for this to be possible are:
Single nominator pool:
You must be the owner of the vesting contract
The single nomination pool owner must be the vesting contract address
The single nomination pool address must be whitelisted on the contract. This is to be done by the vesting contract sender (the wallet that created the contract).

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:
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.

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.

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.

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?
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.

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).

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

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.

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.

Keplr is a fast, secure, and user-friendly wallet designed for the Cosmos ecosystem. It seamlessly integrates with our platform, allowing you to stake OSMO from Kiln Dashboard.
ForDeFI users can connect their wallet using this Keplr connectivity option.
Step-by-step staking process from Kiln Dashboard:
Connect your wallet:
Click the "Connect Wallet" button on our platform.
Select "Keplr" from the list of available options.
Approve the connection request in the Keplr popup.
Enter stake amount: Specify the amount of OSMO you wish to stake.
Confirm transaction: Review the details and confirm the staking transaction in the Keplr popup.
Track your stake: Monitor your staked assets and rewards directly in Kiln Dashbord or through the Keplr dashboard.
Prerequisites :
Connect your Ledger wallet to Keplr wallet/dashboard, step by step video 📼
Staking with Keplr Dashboard :
From Keplr dashboard; Select your asset and click stake
Search Kiln validator and select it
Click the stake button
Follow the signing instruction in Keplr wallet and on your Ledger Device (make sure it's plugged-in)
Once you have setup your Fireblocks Vault, you can use your credentials to stake OSMO using your Fireblocks Vault.
Some notes about Fireblocks raw signing:
Due to technical limitations in Fireblocks API, the connection goes through Kiln's Fireblocks proxy
No Fireblocks account information or associated secrets are stored within any of Kiln's services, including our dashboard
We have ensured that no logs capture this sensitive data
The operational design guarantees that these secrets are transmitted directly to the Fireblocks API, without any interim storage
Please note that upon reloading the dashboard or selecting the 'disconnect wallet' option, the system terminates access to any Fireblocks-related information
After connecting and selecting your Fireblocks vault, simply choose the amount and click "stake." Before signing your transaction, decode it in Minitel or your preferred decoding tool. Carefully review and confirm that the decoded transaction details match your intended action.
In Minitel, you can paste your transaction's raw message content, retrievable from your Fireblocks console, to decode it.
For a complete walkthrough, check out the demo below - The video below introduces the way to stake ATOM (Cosmos), OSMO as a Cosmos chain follow the same process.

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 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.

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.

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards
Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.
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 CLTV timelock. 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 here.
What is the reward claim process?
Visit: https://stake.coredao.org/ 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.
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).


Kiln offers both Pooled and Single Nominator Pool contracts for TON staking. Below are the specifics of each solution.

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.
Kiln's pools can be monitored on CExplorer :

Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards
Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.
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).
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.
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?
Rewards are distributed based on the amount staked at the last block.
What is the slashing risk on the P-chain?
There is no slashing on the P-Chain.
How is commission paid?
Once the staking cycle ends
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).
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.

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?
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.

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.
How can I get testnet tokens?
You can contact us to get some testnet ETH.

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 TON 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

Auto-compounding
Yes
Minimum requirement
Pooled: 10 TON
Single Nominator Pool: 700k TON
Maximal optimal stake per pool
The optimal stake 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
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 400k-500k TON making the maximum effective stake around 1.2M-1.5M TON
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 400k TON as the minimum active stake, a pool with two validators can hold up to 2.4M TON while still maintaining optimal rewards
What is the staking process?
Pooled contract: Using the Kiln dashboard simply specify the staking amount, and the pool automatically handles the epoch allocation and validation processes
Single Nominator pool: Once your dedicated contract is deployed, you can stake funds directly to it
Do funds move out to another wallet?
Funds move to the contract (single nominator contract or pooled contract) which the user owns and can withdraw at any time
Can I keep staking/unstaking from/to the same wallet?
Yes / Required for Single Nominator Pool
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 requesting a withdrawal from the contract (Single Nominator Pool or Pooled contract). The funds will become available to complete the withdrawal step at the end of the epoch being used for validation

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.
Do funds move out to another wallet?
No, XTZs do not move anywhere, they never leave 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?
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.
The performance of Kiln's bakers can be seen on the TzStats explorer:

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?

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 here.
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.

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

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 Stake Account 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 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)
