Kiln | News & Updates

Finance is moving onchain. But it's fragmented — everyone building in isolation, for themselves. 🧱

Institutions are moving trillions of dollars onchain, but yield infrastructure is still fragmented, manual and hard to scale for regulated players.

Today we are introducing Railnet, an open yield infrastructure that standardizes how capital moves across staking, DeFi, tokenized assets, and real world yield.

Rather than competing for deposits, Railnet acts as neutral infrastructure connecting asset managers, protocols, and platforms on shared rails, with:
• Cross protocol strategy composition
• Compliance controls and address whitelisting
• Asynchronous execution (KYC and delayed settlement)
• Unified reporting across onchain and tokenized markets

We are building Railnet with and for partners including Ethena Labs, Dune Sentora, Chainlink Labs, Ondo Finance, Safe and others across the ecosystem.

🔑 Your Safe multisig just became a yield engine

Safe{Wallet} already secures $100B+ for DAOs, crypto companies, and HNWIs.

Now those same treasuries can earn without ever moving assets.

How it works:

• One multisig transaction routes wETH, wstETH, USDC, USDT, or WBTC into Morpho Labs Earn, powered by Kiln DeFi
• Your Safe now holds non-transferable vault shares, so signer control never changes
• Live APY, risk score and exit cost are shown in-app

Open Safe → Earn → start compounding
