The staking opportunity
Staking cryptocurrencies involves locking native tokens within a Proof-of-Stake blockchain to earn the right to participate in its security for a given period.
BitGo's top priority is to create easy-to-use, enterprise-grade solutions with the highest level of security. In partnership with Kiln, Bitgo is now offering a native staking solution that allows users to earn rewards while contributing to the decentralization of the network.
It is the most natural reward feature in crypto, as the value derives from the blockchain native currency inflation and a share of transaction fees. For those reasons, more and more institutions are choosing to stake their assets and put their treasuries to work.
Why staking with Bitgo and Kiln?
With this partnership, users will benefit from Kiln's enterprise-grade staking services combined with BitGo's ease of use and best-in-class protection.
Kiln is non-custodial, never having access to users’ funds. We offer industry-leading SLAs and are SOC2 (Type1) certified, meeting the highest IT security standards.
BitGo stores customers' keys in cold storage, and is guarded by a bank-grade vault. They are also regulated as a qualified custodian in the US, Switzerland, and Germany.
How does it work?
Staking at BitGo is as simple as clicking a button. Users can start earning rewards immediately from their Bitgo workspace and monitor all their staked assets from a unified view. They can delegate with confidence, knowing that their funds are protected, and uptime is maximized to generate the most rewards possible, thanks to Kiln's infrastructure.
