Stake IOTA with Kiln, enterprise-grade staking
IOTA
What is IOTA?
IOTA is a distributed ledger designed for seamless data and value transfer in the "Internet of Everything." Unlike traditional blockchains, it uses parallel processing to improve scalability and efficiency.
Its smart contract framework abstracts away blockchain complexities, allowing developers to build without deep knowledge of blockchain security or infrastructure.
What is staking?
Staking in IOTA allows token holders to delegate their IOTA to validators who help secure the network and process transactions. As part of its Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) system, the more IOTA a validator has staked, the greater their role in transaction validation and consensus.
Validators propose new blocks and verify others, getting rewarded for their work. Staking rewards are distributed at the end of each epoch (approximately every 24 hours), with both validators and delegators receiving rewards based on their stake and validator commission rates.
Why should you stake your assets?
Staking is a secure way to get rewarded in crypto while supporting network security and decentralization.
By staking IOTA, you can:
- 1Get rewarded proportional to your delegated stake
- 2Help secure and decentralize the network
- 3Prevent dilution, as unstaked tokens do not earn rewards
What are the rewards associated with staking IOTA?
Based on recent performance, you can expect a Gross Rewards Rate (GRR) between 10% and 15%, with rewards distributed at the end of each epoch (approximately 24 hours).

IOTA FAQ
What is a Proof-of Stake?
Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is a method for blockchains to secure and process transactions without energy-intensive mining. Instead of solving complex puzzles like in Proof-of-Work (PoW), PoS allows users to "stake" (lock up) their tokens to help validate transactions and maintain the network. Validators are chosen based on how much they stake, and if they act dishonestly, they risk losing their staked tokens.
Do I maintain custody of my IOTA tokens?
IOTA staking is non-custodial, meaning you still own and control your tokens while they are staked. You can use a hardware wallet (like Ledger) for extra security or choose a trusted third-party custodian if you prefer.
What are the risks when staking IOTA?
Validators with poor performance get fewer rewards, reducing your earnings. Reward rates may also change based on total network staking. However, there’s no automatic slashing, so your tokens won’t be taken for validator misbehavior.
How do rewards work on IOTA?
Staking rewards on IOTA come from network emissions and are distributed to stakers based on the amount staked and validator performance. Rewards are paid out at the end of each epoch (about every 24 hours). Some platforms offer auto-compounding, where rewards are automatically restaked to boost future potential earnings.
What is the average block time on IOTA?
Currently, blocks are produced approximately every 10 seconds, though this may vary slightly depending on network conditions and validator activity.
What is a Gross Reward Rate (GRR) and how is it different from a Net Reward Rate (NRR)?
Gross Reward Rate (GRR) is the total staking reward rate before any deductions, such as validator fees. It represents the total reward from staking. Net Reward Rate (NRR) is what you actually receive after validator commissions or other costs are subtracted.
Where can I learn more about staking IOTA?
You can find more details about IOTA staking in the official IOTA documentation.
