Kiln is developing institutional-grade yield strategies by combining staking primitives with DeFi through Lido V3. The approach maintains operational and risk standards while accessing Ethereum's liquid staking ecosystem. **Key capabilities enabled by Lido V3 stVaults:** - Dedicated infrastructure with segregated vaults per client - Full asset separation for regulatory compliance - Access to deep stETH liquidity - Traceable, non-commingled assets This follows similar implementations by Solstice ($1B+ staked) and Northstake, both leveraging stVaults to bridge traditional capital markets with DeFi yields.
