Getting Started with Kelp by KernelDAO
If you're into Web3 and want to earn passive yield without chasing crazy APYs or playing risky games, Kelp might be exactly what you're looking for.
I tried it recently, and here’s a simple breakdown of how it works
What is Kelp?
Kelp is a yield protocol built by the KernelDAO community. The idea is pretty simple: give people a way to earn steady, low-risk returns on-chain .
This isn’t some degen farm. It’s more like a calm, steady savings tool that respects your capital.
How to Use It (Step-by-Step)
1. Go to the Kelp App
Start here - https://app.kelp.finance
Connect your wallet. Most people use MetaMask — just make sure you’re on the right network ( ETH , BNB)
2. Pick a Vault
Once you’re in, you’ll see different “vaults” each with its own strategy and risk level.
You’ll find:
What assets are used
Expected returns
How the strategy works (very transparent)
Choose one that feels right for you.
3. Deposit Funds
Enter how much you want to stake and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
After that, your deposit starts earning yield automatically. No farming, no claiming, no stress.
4. Track & Withdraw Anytime
You can come back any time to check how your deposit is doing. Want to withdraw? No problem most vaults don’t have lock-ups.
Why I Like It
It’s simple and clear
I know where my money’s going
It’s aligned with long-term thinking, not hype cycles.
And honestly, the design is clean and easy to navigate which is rare for DeFi tools.
Final Thoughts
If you want to grow your crypto without worrying about rug pulls or 100% APYs that vanish overnight, Kelp is a solid option.
It’s not flashy but it works. And that’s the point.
