KernelDAO: Modular Restaking & Yield Infrastructure for DeFi
KernelDAO is building a modular ecosystem focused on restaking and capital efficiency. Instead of just offering yield, it provides structured products that automate strategy deployment while keeping user assets liquid and flexible.
Core Components:
1. Kernel – Enables BNB restaking into curated, permissionless vaults. Users earn real yield without active management, using strategies optimized for risk/reward.
2. Kelp (@KelpDAO) – Provides liquid ETH restaking via EigenLayer. Users stake ETH and receive rsETH, which earns rewards and remains usable across DeFi.
3. Gain – The automation layer. It routes deposits into vaults based on strategy profiles, allowing passive users to access smart yield management.
Token Utility – $KERNEL
$KERNEL is the governance and coordination layer. It powers voting, aligns incentives, and may play a role in protocol revenue sharing or future vault access.
Why KernelDAO Matters:
As restaking gains momentum in both ETH and BNB ecosystems, KernelDAO offers the infrastructure to make these opportunities accessible, composable, and automated. Instead of chasing yield manually, users can plug into a system designed to optimize for them.
With strong integration across key restaking layers and a user-focused design, KernelDAO is positioned as a serious contender in DeFi infrastructure.
