About Kiln
We believe the world’s financial system is being rebuilt on blockchains.
Blockchains enable censorship-resistant money to be accessible to anyone with an internet connection, and composable building blocks for builders to innovate on permissionlessly. Ultimately we believe this will create a better world, with more access to opportunity, fewer rent-seeking middle-men, and fewer hidden systemic risks.
Staking is a core primitive of this new world: by enabling asset owners to use their stake to secure the network and earn a yield doing so, staking preserves decentralization and provides returns. It is the Internet bond.
We built products at leading Tech and Crypto companies such as Google, ConsenSys, Ledger, Polygon, Improbable, Circle, Chainalysis, Payfit and Veepee among others.
Kiln raised $5M from investors including Third Kind Capital, BlueYard Capital, SV Angel, Kima Ventures and Kindi Capital. Some have been the first investors in companies such as Pinterest, Stripe and Notion.
