KernelDAO: A New Standard for Restaking

KernelDAO is positioning itself as a core player in the restaking economy, where security, liquidity, and yield are brought together under one framework. Its ecosystem is built on three products: Kernel which provides shared security through restaking, Kelp offering liquid restaking assets like rsETH and Gain a vault system that automates yield strategies.

The protocol already secures over $2 billion in TVL across multiple chains, showing strong adoption and confidence in its model.

At the center is the $KERNEL token, designed for governance, staking, liquidity, and ecosystem rewards. The supply is capped at 1 billion tokens, with more than half allocated to community incentives and growth. About 223 million tokens are currently circulating, giving it a market cap in the $40–50 million range, while its fully diluted value approaches $200 million.

What sets KernelDAO apart is its focus on long-term utility and fair distribution, ensuring holders are active participants in the network rather than passive investors. While the project still faces risks such as competition and token unlock schedules, it has already demonstrated the momentum and fundamentals of a protocol built to last.
