Stake multiples of 32 ETH on your dedicated validators through Ledger Live.
Kiln Dedicated staking mainnet smart contract address in Ledger Live is:
0x1e68238cE926DEC62b3FBC99AB06eB1D85CE0270
Do not interact with other addresses.
Dedicated staking allows you to deposit multiples of 32 ETH to set up a validator. Kiln takes care of operating the validator on your behalf, managing the necessary hardware and software (nodes) for running it.
Validators enter an activation queue and will not receive rewards until activated. The queue time is based on the number of other validators awaiting activation. Queue time is displayed on-screen before staking.
Once activated, your validator will continue to operate until you decide to withdraw your stake and rewards. You have the flexibility to initiate this withdrawal process whenever you prefer.
Kiln retains 8% from the total rewards your validator receives.
You receive all of the rewards generated by the validator, with Kiln deducting a fee.
Your rewards rate will be based on the rewards your own validator earns from participating in the Ethereum network.
The rewards generated by validators are determined solely by the protocol, with no involvement from Kiln.
Staking Risks
Staking doesn't guarantee rewards and involves risks, including a loss of funds.

Select 'Dedicated > Stake'
You can view your validator(s) and the status at any time at 'Dedicated > Validators'.
Activating You have initiated the creation of a validator by depositing 32 ETH. The validator is in the process of being activated and will not generate rewards until it is activated by the protocol. The activation queue length is accessible within the "Dedicated > Stake" page, where you initiated the staking transaction.
Withdrawal processing Your validator has exited the active set and has now joined the queue for its balance to be unstaked and withdrawn. It is no longer active nor generating rewards. The validator exit queue length was displayed when you initiated the validator exit transaction, and is always accessible within the "Dedicated > Stake" page.
Individual validators do not generate consistent or linear rewards. Please read for more detailed information on validator rewards.
