# Kiln > Democratising value creation in digital assets Kiln is an infrastructure provider for institutional digital asset yield. It lets asset managers, custodians, exchanges, and wallets access staking, DeFi, and other onchain yield sources through a single platform. Kiln is a digital asset infrastructure company that gives institutions a unified way to generate yield onchain. It serves asset managers, custodians, exchanges, wallets, and corporate treasuries that need to offer or access staking and other onchain yield without building protocol-level integrations themselves. Its platform combines validator operations, vault infrastructure, and portfolio reporting into a single system built for institutional use. The company addresses the operational complexity of connecting to many separate proof-of-stake networks and yield strategies by acting as a single integration point. Clients connect once and can then access native staking rewards across a range of proof-of-stake networks alongside curated onchain strategies spanning lending and other yield primitives, with managed vault strategies overseen by third-party asset managers. Kiln does not take custody of client assets, instead operating alongside a range of existing custody providers so that funds remain under the client's control while Kiln provides the yield-generation and reporting layer. It is regulated and publishes security certifications covering its infrastructure. Its product suite spans Validators, a validators-as-a-service offering for proof-of-stake chains, an Onchain suite for whitelabelled staking and liquid staking token issuance, a Widget for no-code integration of earn features, a Connect API for reporting and transaction crafting, and a Portfolio Dashboard for real-time monitoring across assets and strategies. These products are used by asset managers, custodians, exchanges, and wallets seeking to embed yield generation into their existing platforms and treasuries. - Type: Company - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2018-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/kiln ## Products - [Kiln Dashboard](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kiln): Kiln Dashboard is a staking and validation management platform providing a web interface for one-click staking and portfolio oversight. It aggregates stakes across multiple protocols into a single view, offering real-time monitoring, team collaboration features, and data export for reporting. The dashboard serves enterprises and institutions managing staking positions across several networks from one account. (Staking & Validation Services, Live) - [Kiln Connect](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kiln): Kiln Connect is a developer tooling suite offering a unified set of APIs for staking operations across proof-of-stake protocols. It includes a transaction crafting API for programmatically creating staking and unstaking transactions and a reporting API for real-time monitoring of yields and validator performance. The service is validator-agnostic, allowing wallets, custodians, and exchanges to integrate staking data and operations without depending on Kiln-run validators, and it interoperates with third-party custody providers for signing. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [Kiln Validators](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kiln): Kiln Validators is a staking and validation service that runs dedicated validator infrastructure across multiple proof-of-stake blockchains. It operates multi-cloud validator clusters with service-level agreements and uptime guarantees, enabling institutions to delegate stake without managing their own infrastructure. The service supports white-label deployment so platforms can offer validator operations under their own brand. (Staking & Validation Services, Live, Main Product) - [Kiln Onchain](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kiln): Kiln Onchain is a staking service that offers Ethereum staking through a set of audited smart contracts, removing the requirement for validator key generation or fixed deposit minimums. It supports dedicated staking in standard deposit increments and pooled staking for smaller amounts, with automated onchain reward and commission distribution. Integrators can optionally issue a liquid staking token, and the service maintains a non-custodial, fully on-chain flow from deposit through reward dispatch. (Staking & Validation Services, Live) - [Kiln dApp](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kiln): Kiln dApp was a permissionless web3 interface that let individual users connect a wallet and stake ETH directly with competitive fees. It provided non-custodial validator deployment and supported both native staking and restaking without requiring an account with Kiln. The product has been deprecated in favor of other Kiln staking offerings. (Validator, Live) - [Kiln OmniVault](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kiln): Kiln OmniVault is a yield aggregator that provides vault infrastructure for wallets, exchanges, and institutions to deploy capital into curated onchain yield strategies across multiple DeFi protocols. Platforms embed earn features via an API or widget without building their own DeFi infrastructure, while institutions can access curated strategies across stablecoins and major crypto assets through the enterprise dashboard with built-in compliance controls, risk scoring, and audit-ready reporting. The vaults route deposits into third-party lending and yield protocols and handle yield collection and fee distribution automatically. (Yield Aggregator, Live) - [Kiln Widget](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kiln): Kiln Widget is a no-code embeddable platform that enables wallets, custodians, exchanges, and technology providers to offer staking and DeFi yield opportunities to their users. It allows platforms to launch a fully branded standalone dApp or embed the interface directly within an existing product, with a customizable editor for aligning the experience to a platform's brand. The widget connects to staking and DeFi yield sources, including dedicated validators, staking pools, and multiple lending protocols, without requiring integrators to build their own infrastructure.
