Earn on io.vault

io.finnet has partnered with Kiln to enable institutional customers to stake Ethereum directly from their existing vaults. Unlike custodial staking, which introduces third-party risk, earning with Kiln ensures you retain full ownership and control of your ETH at all times.

This service is built on io.finnet's secure self-custody infrastructure, powered by Trustless Multi-Party Computation (tMPC). It offers both security and operational efficiency.

‍We currently offer dedicated and pooled staking for:

Start Staking:

1. Log onto the io.finnet platform and navigate to the Earn section of the main menu, or open the Staking with Kiln app via the Apps section.

2. Select a Vault that is configured for the Ethereum network. Use the vault selector in the top-right corner.

3. Choose your staking option under the Earn tab:
   1. For <32 ETH, select Pooled Staking.
   2. For ≥32 ETH, choose Dedicated Staking for potentially higher rewards.

4. Enter the amount of ETH to stake and click Earn.
5. The selected vault will receive a signing request. Ensure the signer(s) open the io.finnet app and approve the transaction.
6. Upon confirmation, you will receive ioSETH, a tokenized representation of your staked ETH.

Monitor Your Staking Position:

Rewards begin accumulating immediately after staking. You can track your position as follows:

1. Navigate to Earn > Overview or reopen the Staking with Kiln app.
2. The Overview tab displays your staked amount and rewards.
   1. If the displayed USD value is $0, hover over it to see the actual ETH-based balance.

Alternatively, check your ioSETH balance in the relevant vault for a real-time view of your staked position.
