Tetra Deploys Staking Functionality Through Strategic Partnership with Kiln
Tetra, Canada’s only licensed custody solution for digital assets, is rolling out increased staking functionality through its strategic partnership with Kiln, a leading enterprise-grade staking platform.

This partnership will offer access to staking services by providing secure and efficient methods for institutional clients to actively participate in blockchain networks and earn rewards on their digital asset holdings.

Laszlo Szabo, CEO at Kiln, stated, “We strive to enable institutions to access staking. Being our first enterprise-grade custodian partner in Canada, we’re thrilled to collaborate with Tetra, with whom we share common values.”
Understanding the Staking Opportunity
In PoS blockchains, staking consists of locking native tokens to earn the right to help secure the chain via a validator. Validators review and approve blocks proposed by other validators, and bundle transactions together to propose new blocks when they are selected to do so. Through these activities, validators earn rewards for stakers who commit part of their assets.
Staking is considered to be the most natural way to earn rewards in the crypto space as the rewards stem from helping secure the chain. Rewards are paid out from the protocol’s inflation and a share of transaction fees.
By staking, token holders can earn rewards and grow their digital asset holdings. Staking plays a crucial role in network security, governance, and contributes to the growth of the Web3 ecosystem. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in both companies’ commitment to delivering the highest standards of security and service for institutional and corporate clients.
