Plan your technical integration

1️⃣

Define what Kiln integration you are building

🏃 You want something fast with in your UI but with little customization?

• Kiln dApp is made for you
• Integrators like Ledger Live or Safe Wallet make this choice integrating it first in their dApp browser

⚙️ You want to build around your own brand and add custom logic?

• While kiln products are always non custodial and operations directly performed on-chain, Kiln API & Kiln SDK will help you streamline your integration
• Generally the preferred solution for custodians, exchanges & wallet wanting to build their own back-end to manage staking operations and reporting in their custom UI

⛓️ You want to build with as little as possible touchpoint with web2 infrastructure?

• Kiln Smart Contracts are made for this with direct on-chain interaction and on-chain reporting
• Generally prefered by dApp and web3 wallets

💡 Integrators tend to mix multiple tools provided by Kiln to match their technical requirements and delivery timeline, it's recommended to use both Widgets, APIs and Smart Contracts interactions in your product
