Why stake SOL with Kiln?
With approximately 2.5% of Solana's network stake, our infrastructure plays a vital role in the network's overall security and stability.
Plus we offer some of the most competitive commission rates in the industry, with the lowest voting commission rate (5%) among large institutional validators. Unlike public community validators that often claim lower rates but face concentration and provider risks — many of which are run by the same teams — we provide insurance and coverage, giving institutional clients peace of mind.
In addition, we maintain strategic technical partnerships with core Solana development teams such as Anza, Solana Labs, and Jito. These relationships enable us to implement timely updates and upgrades.
"We are delighted to offer Solana staking to Squads users, the leading multisig provider in the Solana ecosystem.” — Laszlo Szabo, Co-Founder and CEO at Kiln
