FAQs
Is my ETH locked when staking?
Yes, staked ETH is locked until Ethereum’s next upgrade enables withdrawals. However, you retain control via your Safe Wallet.
What are the risks?
- Slashing: Penalties for validator misconduct (mitigated by Kiln’s 0-slashing track record).
- Market Volatility: ETH price fluctuations affect reward value.
Can I unstake anytime?
No. Validator exits follow Ethereum’s protocol—typically after withdrawals are enabled post-upgrades.
