We are proud to announce we have joined the Ethereum operator set supporting Kelp, with an initial commitment of 82,000 ETH of value to be restaked natively and via LSTs with Kiln. Kelp delegators will now benefit from secure restaking, helping secure all major AVSs, and receiving associated rewards.
Kelp evaluated and selected Kiln because of our proven track record on Ethereum, running more than 4% of the network, our top-tier performance and our early involvement in the restaking and AVSs ecosystem.
Indeed, we support all live AVSs and plan to support more as they reach mainnet. This is beneficial for Kelp users who wish to opt-in to secure a wide range of AVSs by just holding rsETH, Kelp’s liquid restaking token.
To learn more about restaking and AVSs, check out our dedicated podcast series.
Why Kelp choose Kiln as their preferred (re-)staking partner:
- Kiln makes it possible to outsource infrastructure work and (re-)staking operations to focus on core business activities
- Top-tier performance to maximize APY and broad protocol and AVS coverage
- Getting best-in-class enterprise-grade support and SLAs
