We are pleased to announce our partnership with Yield App, a secure, community-driven platform empowering users worldwide to manage and grow their digital wealth.
With this collaboration, Yield App users can now participate in staking and earn rewards on the largest Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains, including Solana (SOL), Cosmos Hub (ATOM), Near (NEAR), Avalanche (AVAX) and Polygon (MATIC).
Understanding the staking opportunity
In PoS blockchains, staking consists of locking native tokens to earn the right to help secure the chain via a validator. Validators review transactions on the blockchain and bundle them together to propose new blocks. Through these activities, validators earn rewards for stakers who commit part of their assets.
Staking is considered as the most natural way to get rewards in the crypto space as it derives value from the inflation of the blockchain's native asset, and transaction fees, where the protocol is the counterparty.
By staking, token holders can earn rewards and grow their digital asset holdings. Staking plays a crucial role in network security, governance, and contributes to the growth of the Web3 ecosystem as a whole.

About Kiln
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 validators, rewards, and data and commission management. With over $6b stake under management, Kiln has a particularly strong track record on Ethereum as we run about 4% of the network; this includes 40,000+ validators with 0 slashing events.
* 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.
