What is KernelDAO?
KernelDAO is a cutting-edge multichain restaking protocol that reimagines how users can earn yield from their staked crypto assets. By enabling the restaking of assets like ETH, BTC, and BNB across multiple networks and decentralized applications, KernelDAO unlocks new earning opportunities—without sacrificing liquidity or user flexibility.
At the heart of the KernelDAO ecosystem are three core products: Kernel, Kelp, and Gain—each designed to play a crucial role in the protocol’s growth and user experience.
🔧 Core Products
1. Kernel
Kernel serves as the foundational layer of the ecosystem. It is a programmable vault protocol that allows users to create permissionless smart vaults. These vaults support automated investment strategies, revenue management, and sustainable yield generation. Whether you're an individual investor or a DAO, Kernel provides full control over capital deployment with maximum flexibility.
2. Kelp
Kelp is the ecosystem’s decentralized strategy marketplace. It connects developers who create vault strategies with users seeking yield opportunities. Through Kelp, strategy creators can publish their vaults, and capital allocators can easily participate.
3. Gain
Gain is designed to automate yield distribution—especially for DAOs. Acting as the protocol’s financial engine, it ensures accurate and timely payouts to contributors and stakeholders, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
📊 Kernel Tokenomics
Governance
Holders of the KERNEL token can participate in protocol governance, influencing key decisions such as vault upgrades, strategic protocol changes, and the future roadmap.
Staking Utility
Users who stake KERNEL tokens can earn a portion of network fees and rewards, encouraging long-term engagement and ecosystem stability.
Security Layer
Staked KERNEL tokens also contribute to the protocol’s security, helping to align incentives and maintain the integrity of the smart vault infrastructure.
