I've been looking closely at $KERNEL, and this might be one of those rare opportunities.
Here’s the rundown:
Total Value Locked (TVL) is over $2 billion
More than 600,000 $ETH deposited
30+ projects already building on top
Active across 10+ blockchains
The surprising part? The market cap is still just around $30 million — giving it a TVL-to-market-cap ratio of 64x.
For context:
Babylon is at 15x
EigenLayer at 30x
EtherFi around 34x
And with @kernel_dao preparing to expand into Real World Assets (RWAs) and launch stablecoin vaults, the upside potential looks significant — especially when players like Ondo are being valued at $9B just on RWAs alone.
This seems like a clear market inefficiency — the kind that doesn’t stick around forever. It may take time, but historically, setups like this tend to realign with value.
