Core Chain, one of the leading Layer-1 blockchains built directly on Bitcoin, has just partnered with Kiln. It has already made its name by conducting strike operations. The partnership is part of the network’s commitment to strengthen security and decentralization. Kiln is an enterprise-level validator dedicated to error-free staking.

Kiln increases Bitcoin security and programmability in the core chain
Through the Bitcoin blockchain, Kiln has securely staked at scale and users have direct access to join the stake pool to obtain rewards through on-chain contracts. Currently, the validator manages a large number of 1,168,288 stakes on ETH worth only less than $3 billion.
Kiln co-founder and CPO Ernest Oppetit is excited to support Core Chain and join as a node operator. Core Chain achieves this by leveraging the billions of dollars in security committed to the BTC network. Significantly, it increases the programmability of the BTC network thanks to its EVM compatibility. This not only increases the value of Bitcoin for holders, but also increases the security of the entire network.
Core Initial Contributor, Brendon Sedo, says they are pleased that Kiln has joined Core Chain as a validator. They rely on Kiln for its reliability and trustworthiness to secure the Core Blockchain. Kiln working with them will help achieve the goal of harmonization with Bitcoin. In this case, it will enable the new non-custodial Bitcoin staking product that they recently announced.
Kiln defaults Ethereum validation off the core chain
Kiln’s influence extends beyond Core Chain. Kiln is the most extensive operator of validator nodes on the Ethereum blockchain, where he controls less than 4% of the network’s validators. Kiln’s experience in secure validation makes it the perfect choice for institutional customers looking for secure staking solutions. It also extends to the betting pools, with customizable options to suit most customers’ requirements. In addition, it includes special validators and easily integrateable SDKs and APIs.
Ultimately, Kiln’s activation as a validator on Core Chain doesn’t just secure his network. It also reflects Kiln’s commitment to making the use of Bitcoin more accessible to the everyday individual while improving the blockchain infrastructure overall. Because Kiln has an extensive history as a leader in staking operations, it will continue to transform the future of decentralized finance.
