Stake Aleo Credits with Kiln, enterprise-grade staking
Aleo
What is Aleo?
Aleo is a layer 1 blockchain focused on scalability, privacy, and user experience. Aleo aims to achieve this by utilizing Zero-Knowledge proofs, which are cryptographic techniques that allow one party to prove to another party that they possess certain information without revealing the information itself.
Aleo allows for secure and private transactions without compromising on speed or efficiency. It targets applications focused on user privacy.
How is staking implemented on AleoBFT consensus?
AleoBFT consensus employs a staking mechanism to ensure network security and incentivize participation.
Stakers contribute their Aleo Credits to validators, effectively delegating their voting power. In return, stakers receive a share of the network's inflationary rewards, proportional to their stake.
This staking system helps maintain the integrity of the blockchain, as validators with a larger stake have a greater incentive to act honestly and efficiently.
Why should you stake your assets?
Staking is one of the safest and most predictable ways to get rewarded in the crypto space as the value originates from the blockchain’s native currency inflation and a share of transaction fees. You help secure the network and get rewarded by staking your Aleo credits.
If you do not stake, your asset's token share will be diluted among other people’s tokens that are being staked and accumulating new tokens into the network.
You can stake your Aleo credits as well as other (d)PoS cryptocurrencies to:
- 1Put your treasury to work
- 2Diversify and earn, while contributing to blockchains decentralization
- 3Bring new opportunities by enabling your users to earn staking rewards

Aleo FAQ
What does Proof-of Stake mean?
Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is a type of consensus mechanism used to validate cryptocurrency transactions. Through PoS, validators can contribute to the block production of a chain while keeping environmental concerns to a minimum, which is becoming an increasingly large issue in Proof-of-Work.
By staking capital rather than energy, validators risk losing a portion of their value and future potential for staking by misbehaving while creating blocks. This incentives collaboration and fair practices while validating information in a similar way that PoW has with incentives and punishments to curtail malicious behaviours.
What does AleoBFT mean?
AleoBFT is a consensus algorithm tailored for Aleo. It features a Coinbase puzzle, where users solve puzzles for each block to earn rewards, similar to generating a SNARK proof. This process is cost-effective, as users can package data off-chain before uploading it as a lightproof, reducing network fees.
Additionally, it's secure, combining Proof of Stake with zero-knowledge proofs to minimize shared sensitive data. Users are incentivized to contribute to network security by staking Aleo Credits, generating proofs, and validating transactions.
When can I start staking Aleo Credits?
Staking will be enabled soon after mainnet launch.
Is there a minimum and maximum amount to stake on Aleo?
To begin earning staking rewards, you'll need to stake a minimum of 10 Aleo Credits.
Do I maintain custody of my Aleo Credits? Is Aleo Credits staking non-custodial?
While you may maintain self-custody of your staked Aleo Credits (ideally using a Ledger hardware wallet), you may also choose a third-party custodian to control the withdrawal of your staked Aleo Credits (i.e. Fireblocks).
What is a Gross Reward Rate (GRR) and how is it different from a Net Reward Rate (NRR)?
In the context of Proof-of-Stake blockchains, the gross reward rate (GRR) refers to the total or gross amount of rewards earned from staking before deducting any fees or expenses. This is a reward rate that fluctuates with the operations of the protocol and the performance of validators, it is not set by Kiln. The net reward rate (NRR), on the other hand, takes into account the deductions or expenses, providing a measure of the actual rewards received after subtracting fees or costs.
