How to Build Your Own Staking Product with Kiln's Staking-as-a-Service API

Offering native staking to your users is a powerful feature, but building and maintaining the required validator infrastructure is a massive undertaking. Kiln Official Staking solves this with a powerful Kiln API Staking platform, allowing you to programmatically manage staking operations.

The Problem: The Complexity of Staking Infrastructure
Running validators requires 24/7 monitoring, security, handling network updates, and significant capital. Building this in-house is not feasible for most companies.

The Solution: Kiln Staking as a Service
Kiln provides a suite of APIs that abstracts away all the complexity. You can integrate staking into your application with simple REST API calls.

Step 1: Get Your API Key
Contact the Kiln team through their official website to get access to an API key for their sandbox or production environment.

Familiarize yourself with the authentication process and the available endpoints.

Step 2: Programmatically Stake Assets
You can create, manage, and track staking positions with API calls.

Example: Stake ETH via the Kiln API (Pseudocode)

JavaScript
const KILN_API_ENDPOINT = 'https://api.kiln.fi/v1/staking';
const API_KEY = 'YOUR_KILN_API_KEY';

async function stakeEth(amount, walletAddress) {
const response = await fetch(KILN_API_ENDPOINT, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': Bearer ${API_KEY},
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
network: 'ethereum',
asset: 'eth',
entry_type: 'stake',
amount: amount, // e.g., '32'
destination_address: walletAddress,
}),
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log('Staking initiated:', data);
return data;
}

// Stake 32 ETH from a customer's wallet
stakeEth('32', '0xCustomerWalletAddress...');
This is the power of a true White-label Staking Solution. You can build a seamless user experience on the front-end while Kiln manages the entire Kiln Validator Infrastructure on the back-end.
