Kiln and Balance expand integration to offer SOL staking with industry-leading GRR
< BlogWe’re thrilled to announce the expansion of our integration with Balance, Canada’s oldest digital asset custodian, to now include Solana (SOL) staking alongside our existing Ethereum (ETH) staking collaboration.
With Kiln’s industry-leading SOL GRR, Balance’s institutional clients including trading platforms, private funds, and corporate entities can now maximize their rewards while maintaining full custody of their assets. This integration further strengthens our shared mission to provide secure, seamless, and high-yield staking solutions.
A trusted custody integrator, now with Solana staking
Balance, a key integrator in safeguarding billions in digital assets, has delivered institutional-grade staking services powered by Kiln Connect and Kiln Validators. By adding SOL staking, we’re enabling Balance’s clients to diversify their staking strategies while benefiting from:
✅ Highest SOL GRR – Kiln’s optimized infrastructure ensures top-tier rewards.
✅ Non-custodial staking – Clients retain full ownership of their assets through the lifecycle.
✅ Seamless integration – Powered by Kiln’s Transaction Crafting API, making staking and unstaking effortless.
Why Balance chose Kiln for SOL Staking
Kiln’s validator-agnostic approach and multi-protocol support allow Balance to scale staking offerings with ease. The same Kiln Connect API used for ETH staking now extends to Solana, streamlining the process for Balance’s clients to stake across multiple chains.
“Expanding our integration with Kiln to include SOL staking was a natural next step. Their infrastructure aligns with our commitment to secure, compliant solutions for our institutional clients.”
— Dustin Plett, Chief Sales Officer, Balance
“We’re proud to deepen our collaboration with Balance, bringing Solana staking to their clients with the best rewards in the market. This integration underscores Kiln’s ability to power institutional staking across multiple protocols seamlessly.”
— Duncan Hoffman, VP of Revenue, Kiln
Looking ahead
This expansion reinforces Kiln and Balance’s shared vision of democratizing access to staking rewards while maintaining the highest security and compliance standards.
We’re excited to continue innovating with Balance, unlocking new opportunities for institutional clients in the evolving digital asset ecosystem.
