Why Stake?


STAKING IS THE INTERNET BOND

"It can be argued that staking is the closest thing we can get to a blockchain
network’s “risk-free rate”.The maturation of the crypto economy should lure more
long-term investors into seeking out this native form of yield for their PoS
assets."*

FAQ


WHAT IS STAKING CRYPTOCURRENCIES?


Staking cryptocurrencies consists in locking native tokens (e.g ETH) in a
Proof-of-Stake blockchain to earn the right to participate in its security for a
given period. It’s a way to secure a chain by proposing new blocks or attesting
to other validator's blocks to earn rewards in form of additional coins or
tokens.


IS STAKING CRYPTOCURRENCIES SAFE?



Staking cryptocurrencies is one of the least risky options to grow your assets.
At Kiln, we only support protocol staking, in which slashing is the only risk
you may need to worry about. Most of the PoS protocols depend on network
participation and validator integrity so it is critical to select the right
staking-as-a-service provider.


WHAT ARE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH STAKING CRYPTOCURRENCIES?



Generally, there are two major risks associated with staking cryptocurrencies
and they are low criticity such as downtime, and high criticity such as
slashing.

Downtime refers to a situation whereby a node is not signing transactions. There
are rules stating the degree of downtime that can be tolerated. As such, once a
node passes this parameter, it automatically loses its validator status and the
staked tokens.

Slashing is a way to checkmate validators staking cryptocurrencies to ensure
they do not prejudice the integrity of the network. A downtime leading to upsets
in a protocol's network can warrant slashing.

Double-signing is another popular reason and usually occurs when a validator,
either knowing or unknowingly attempts to validate a block more than once. In
some cases as in the Ethereum network, some or all of a validator's staked ETH
can be slashed for confirming or proposing fraudulent blocks.

Generally, when a validator node acts in a way that could weaken the smooth
running of the network, they stand to lose between 5% to 20% of their staked
crypto.

In addition of these two major risks, we can also note a risk of protocol attack
(although highly improbable for large protocols like Ethereum); impermanent loss
(even if not directly related to Kiln’s services) or smart contract hacks. To
avoid these, Kiln smart contracts are audited by Halborn and Spearbit.


HOW DOES KILN MITIGATE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH STAKING CRYPTOCURRENCIES?



Since it began operations, Kiln has never been slashed. Its fame as one of the
most reliable staking-as-a-service providers sets it apart in the $1.2 trillion
cryptocurrency market, especially in terms of minimizing risks.

This is mainly because Kiln has a team of 35+ experts monitoring and maintaining
its nodes. These certified engineers set up a robust process to analyze all
signals to prevent any downtime or slashing.

If you'd like to learn more about how they monitor staking infrastructure at
scale, please check this article.


 IS STAKING CRYPTOCURRENCIES PROFITABLE?



Staking generates one of the most predictable rewards in the crypto space. When
you stake your cryptocurrencies, provided that the validators properly batch
transactions into new blocks according to the network protocol’s rule you can
earn from 4% to 60% Annual Percentage Rate.


HOW DOES KILN GUARANTEE REWARDS THROUGH STAKING CRYPTOCURRENCIES?



If you are eligible, you'll automatically start earning rewards on your Kiln
dashboard. To guarantee our clients the highest rewards at Kiln, we have a
99.95% effective uptime, the highest level of monitoring, and a coverage policy
to protect you against slashing events. We have deployed thousands of nodes,
making Kiln one of the most reliable staking providers.


WHAT IS A STAKING-AS-A-SERVICE (SAAS) PLATFORM?



A Staking-as-a-Service platform enables investors to stake their Proof-of-Stake
protocols via a third-party service that takes care of the technical aspect of
the staking process. Staking remains complex for many institutional customers
especially when they are staking multiple protocols at the same time.

You need to collect rewards, select and monitor your validators, etc.
Staking-as-a-Service platforms such as Kiln take this complexity out as you can
pilot everything from a single admin dashboard. It saves you time and money.

At Kiln, we have a team of 35+ engineers dedicated to deploying, monitoring, and
maintaining tens of thousands of validators on all the main PoS chains.


WHAT DOES ENTERPRISE-GRADE MEAN? WHY WOULD I NEED AN ENTERPRISE-GRADE SERVICE?



Enterprise-grade isn't only a marketing team but it helps people to distinguish
between products meant for businesses or end consumers.

According to Gartner, enterprise-grade describes products that integrate into
infrastructure with a minimum of complexity and offer transparent proxy support.

At Kiln, we believe that enterprise-grade is defined by productivity,
scalability, security, and compliance and we put a lot of effort into making
products that allow these.


WHAT IS KILN ABOUT?



Kiln is the leading enterprise-grade staking platform, enabling institutional
customers to stake assets, and to whitelabel staking functionality into their
offering. Our platform is API-first and enables fully automated validator,
rewards, and commission management.


WHAT ARE KILN STAKING-AS-A-SERVICE PRODUCTS?



Kiln has an entire suite of staking services designed to work together or
separately, easing the expansion of your staking offering. Our admin staking
dashboard makes it easy to view, track, bill and automate all your stakes in one
place. We offer direct and white-labeled staking through our API solutions.


WHO ARE KILN’S CUSTOMERS?

range of institutional customers such as custodians, wallets, exchanges, market

protocols that include Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos, Tezos, Near,
Avalanche, etc. For any specific inquiry, please contact our team at
support@kiln.fi


WHAT IS A BLOCKCHAIN VALIDATOR?



A blockchain validator is someone that participates in a consensus and is
responsible for verifying cryptocurrencies transactions. Although anyone can
launch their validator, it is a complex process and therefore most businesses
choose to use a staking-as-a-service provider to mitigate risks.


DOES KILN RUN ITS OWN VALIDATORS? DOES KILN RUN ALL VALIDATORS IN-HOUSE?



Yes. Kiln has a team of more than 35+ engineers dedicated to deploying,
monitoring, and maintaining thousands of validators on all the main PoS chains.
We are managing all our validators in-house.


WHERE KILN HOSTS ITS RUNNING VALIDATORS?



We work with different cloud-providers such as Cloud, AWS, GCP, Azure, OVH or
Scaleway.


WHAT IS KILN'S TRACK RECORD?



Over $1B+ crypto assets are being programmatically staked through our
technology, with a particularly strong track record on Ethereum. We are already
helping the most important Web3 players such as Bitgo, GSR, Ledger, Flowdesk, to
stake their own assets or the ones of their clients thanks to our API-first
solution that enables fully automated validator, rewards, and commission
management.


DO I MAINTAIN CUSTODY OF MY TOKENS?



You can maintain custody of your assets (i.e., the crypto assets/ digital assets
you posted and accrued rewards) through any wallet or custodian solution of your
choosing. Kiln’s staking platform is non-custodial, only you can access your
assets by controlling the underlying wallet which holds a claim to the funds.
You retain full title of your assets and never relinquish or contribute these
assets or any corresponding accrued rewards to Kiln.


WHAT ARE KILN’ SERVICE-LEVEL AGREEMENTS (SLAS) FOR ITS INSTITUTIONAL CUSTOMERS?



Kiln guarantees to its clients and partners a specified level of rewards on each
blockchain protocol staked. In terms of compliance, Kiln has achieved SOC 2 Type
I compliance in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA). Moreover, to prevent any slashing risk, Kiln, in
partnership with Chainproof, offers a coverage policy to protect against middle
slashing events.


HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT STAKING-AS-A-SERVICE PLATFORM?



Choosing the right service provider is a complex decision that requires various
considerations. At Kiln, our operations are driven by a tripod value system of
reliability, compliance, and support.

Among others, Kiln is SOC 2 certified. We are a recognized European player with
offices in Paris and London. Kiln has a team of engineers and sales working 24/7
to maintain and monitor our validators without interruption. Each customer has a
dedicated Account and Product manager available at any time.


HOW DOES KILN MANAGE SECURITY?



At Kiln, we take security very seriously and we follow closely each supported
protocol and make sure our customers are always up to date in terms of protocol
upgrades and security best practices. Please click this link for more info on
our security infrastructure.

‍


HOW MUCH DOES KILN CHARGE FOR ITS SERVICES?



Our fee can vary based on the rewards that we earn on behalf of our clients each
month. However, discounts are available upon request for our largest
cryptocurrencies holders. Users are allocated full protocol rewards minus Kiln
service fee and, where applicable, third party’s service fees (i.e., non
custodial or custodial providers that integrate our technology to provide
staking offerings to their users). Kiln' service fee is a percentage of the
rewards earned by a validator operated through Kiln’s technology, and is
deducted each month from these rewards. However, discounts are available upon
request for our largest cryptocurrencies holders.


HOW DO I GET STARTED WITH KILN?



You just have to complete our form and go through Kiln onboarding to gain access
to our suite of staking products.

* Please note that rewards rates for staking are pre-determined and regulated by
the rules of the relevant open-source blockchain protocol code. While the
rewards rate is fixed, rewards are only guaranteed to validators that properly
batch transactions into new blocks according to the protocol's rules and, in
some cases, for verifying the work of other validators on the network. It is
important to note that there are risks associated with staking, including the
possibility of slashing penalties which may result in the loss of a portion of
the staked assets. However, at Kiln, we offer slashing coverage to help mitigate
the impact of this risk. It is important to thoroughly understand the risks and
rewards associated with staking before participating in any staking activities.
