We are delighted to announce that Kiln’s native ETH staking is now available on Enzyme!
This integration gives asset managers (with a minimum of 32 ETH) a human-readable way to access Kiln’s enterprise-grade ETH staking, to earn up to 15% APR rewards.
Who is Kiln?
With over $500m staked under management, Kiln is the leading enterprise-grade staking platform with a particularly strong track record. Kiln runs 2.1% of the Ethereum network, which includes 9,000+ validators with 0 slashing.
Kiln offers a rewards guarantee SLA, ensuring a return of 99% of the network-average APR of ETH staking. Kiln’s products are non-custodial and its smart contracts are fully audited by Halborn.
With more than 2.1% share of all ETH staked and heavy involvement within the community, Kiln has a strong track record running Ethereum validator nodes. Kiln is the leading enterprise-grade staking platform enabling institutional customers to stake Ethereum.
Why should I stake my assets?
In a Proof-of-Stake blockchain, staking consists of locking native tokens to earn the right to secure a chain, and earn a yield while doing so. It has overtaken mining and Proof-of-Work as the primary way to secure blockchain networks.
With ETH staking, users lock ETH to fund a validator, which helps secure the chain by proposing new blocks and attesting other validators’ blocks, and earns a yield in the process.
Staking generates the safest and most predictable yields in the crypto space. It is the most natural yield feature in crypto as the value originates from the blockchain native currency inflation and a share of transaction fees. There is no risk of default or bank runs as the counterparty is the protocol.
You can stake your ETH to:
- Put your treasury to work
- Diversify and earn
- Bring new opportunities to generate safe yields
