Institutional adoption of digital assets is advancing rapidly, driven by growing client demand, regulatory clarity. ETF products with staking are on the horizon, with Blackrock filing for staking in their ETH ETF.
With returns ranging between 4% and 12% APY across leading proof-of-stake (PoS) networks such as Ethereum, Solana, Near, and Cosmos, native staking offers a powerful way to enhance long-term portfolio performance.
To access these rewards at scale, institutions require a secure, compliant, and scalable solution that integrates seamlessly into their existing workflows.
While Ethereum remains the largest proof of stake network, institutions are increasingly staking across a diversified range of chains, each with unique combinations of yield, lock-up terms, governance influence, and strategic alignment opportunities, but also different technical and capital requirements. The Cryptio & Kiln solution supports native staking across 40+ leading networks, including:
…and other PoS and appchain ecosystems as institutional demand grows.
Each chain has its own staking mechanics - different validator security models, uptime SLAs, reward timing, and lock-up rules. For institutions managing millions in AUM, maintaining chain-specific operations is costly and error-prone.
Each chain also introduces distinct reward mechanisms, token economics, and reporting implications, including:
Without an integrated view, finance and compliance teams are left with manual spreadsheets, inconsistent data, and compliance risk.
To address these challenges, Cryptio and Kiln have partnered to provide an end-to-end, multi-chain native staking and financial reporting stack, tailored for institutional needs.
