Why is restaking important?
Restaking allows users to reuse locked assets to earn additional income, enhancing capital efficiency in DeFi. KernelDAO with the KERNEL token is at the forefront of this movement, offering solutions for restaking BNB, Bitcoin, and other assets on BNB Chain and Ethereum.
Features of KernelDAO
KernelDAO stands out due to:
Three products: Kernel (security of BNB Chain, $650 million TVL), Kelp (liquid restaking on Ethereum, $1.2 billion TVL), and Gain (automated pools for airdrops).
Cross-chain bridge: Scheduled for Q3 2025, it will enhance interaction between blockchains.
Decentralized governance: A voting system launched in July 2025 increased participation by 40%.
The role of the KERNEL token
KERNEL is used for:
Voting: Holders determine the future of the platform, including new integrations.
Staking: Users providing liquidity receive KERNEL tokens.
Reduction of fees: The token lowers transaction costs.
Achievements
Since its launch in April 2025, KernelDAO has attracted attention as the fourth project of the Binance Megadrop. The platform processed transactions worth $45.26 million in 24 hours, and the airdrop (10% of the total supply) is distributed among users who earned Kernel Points by December 2024. The community is active: 67.21% of posts on X express bullish sentiments.
Risks
Competition with EigenLayer, volatility (the price fell by 631.27% in a week in August) and criticism of tokenomics (daily unlocking) pose risks. Investors should be cautious.
KernelDAO and the KERNEL token create a future where restaking becomes a key tool for maximizing returns in DeFi.
