Tutorial: How to Restake ETH with Kelp and Get rsETH

New to KernelDAO? Let’s walk through how you can use Kelp, the liquid restaking protocol, to earn more rewards while keeping your ETH liquid.

⸻

🔹 Step 1: Set Up Your Wallet

• Install a Web3 wallet like MetaMask.

• Fund it with ETH (or supported LSTs like stETH, cbETH, rETH).

• Choose ETH or a liquid staking token.

🔹 Step 5: Put rsETH to Work

• Use rsETH across DeFi protocols:

• Supply it on lending platforms.

• Pair it in liquidity pools.

• Use as collateral while still earning restaking rewards.

⸻

🔹 Step 6: Track & Redeem
