Byzantine announces a strategic collaboration with Kiln, the enterprise-grade staking & DeFi platform managing over $13 billion in assets. This partnership enhances Byzantine's operator ecosystem with Kiln's established infrastructure, providing institutional-caliber restaking capabilities to both enterprise and individual clients.
Kiln’s extensive validator network and Byzantine’s comprehensive restaking aggregation together promise to transform how both institutions and individuals approach native restaking.
Strategic Synergies: Institutional-Grade Restaking Without Operational Complexity
Kiln will serve as a validated operator for native staking and restaking through Byzantine's infrastructure. Byzantine will leverage Kiln's operator capabilities across a curated selection of Actively Validated Services (AVS). By partnering, Kiln and Byzantine offer clients a seamless way to access both staking and restaking with a highly-trusted operator.
What this partnership enables:
- Proven security and operational resilience: Kiln operates 4.9% of Ethereum’s validators, securing billions in assets with zero slashing incidents to date.
- Optimized liquidity management: Byzantine’s aggregation framework ensures capital efficiency, directing assets where they can generate the most competitive returns.
- Seamless integration: With a single vault interaction, users access both staking and restaking, removing friction in validator selection and infrastructure management.
This partnership redefines how capital is deployed across AVS, ensuring that Byzantine users can confidently allocate assets without compromising on security or efficiency.
