Stake Ethereum with Kiln, enterprise-grade staking
Ethereum
What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain network; its native token or cryptocurrency is called Ether or ETH. Launched in 2015, it is now the world's second-largest blockchain platform by market capitalization after Bitcoin and it is the first to introduce smart contract functionality.
On Ethereum, you can build a range of decentralized applications. As said by the nonprofit Ethereum Foundation: “Ethereum can be used to codify, decentralize, secure and trade just about anything.”
What is staking?
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 has overtaken mining as the primary way to secure blockchain networks.
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.
Why should you stake your assets?
Staking generates one of the safest and most predictable ways to get rewarded in the crypto space. It is the most natural reward feature in crypto as the value originates from the blockchain native currency inflation and a share of transaction fees.
You can stake your ETH as well as other PoS cryptocurrencies to:
- 1Put your treasury to work
- 2Diversify and earn
- 3Bring new opportunities by enabling your users to earn staking rewards

How the Pectra upgrade on Ethereum will change staking?
The Pectra update on Ethereum allows the merging of existing validators, significantly altering validator dynamics.
By consolidating 32 ETH validators into a single, larger entity with up to 2,048 staked ETH, this update promotes resource efficiency and reduces overhead for individual stakers, while maintaining the network's security.
