In the world of Web3, you only need one account to unlock all re-staking opportunities on the BNB chain, without the headache of complex staking processes and asset fragmentation.

This is the meaning of Kernel's existence. As a re-staking infrastructure based on the BNB chain, Kernel's unique selling point is transforming the security of BNB into a programmable, attributable trust mechanism that supports various decentralized applications (dApps). In simple terms, it uses re-staking technology to turn your BNB assets into a cross-ecosystem 'passport', allowing you to earn yields seamlessly in DeFi, RWA (real-world asset) tokenization, and more scenarios. This process is coordinated and protected by Kernel, ensuring that every step you take in Web3 is efficient and secure.

Their goal is clear: to make re-staking on the BNB chain as simple as using a super app. They not only want to enhance the user experience but also aim to extend the security of BNB to more Web3 ecosystems, ultimately promoting the adoption of decentralized finance. This is not a minor fix but a major move to reshape the rules of DeFi yield.

The growth path from a startup project to an ecological pillar

The story of Kernel began in 2023, initiated by the YziLabs team and supported by leading investment from Binance Labs. At that time, it was just an experimental project focused on re-staking on the BNB chain, aimed at solving the yield fragmentation problem of liquid staking tokens (LSTs). Soon, Kernel launched its core products: the Kernel mainnet (BNB chain re-staking platform), Kelp (liquidity re-staking protocol on Ethereum), and Gain (RWA tokenization yield protocol). Through these three pillars, Kernel quickly made a name for itself in the DeFi space.

By April 2025, Kernel has supported asset re-staking across more than 30 chains, handling a total of 15 million user operations, with total locked value (TVL) exceeding $1.5 billion. Even more impressively, they collaborated with re-staking protocols in the Bitcoin ecosystem, such as Babylon, to launch BTC re-staking support, allowing users to participate in Kernel's yield pool directly with BTC, without cumbersome cross-chain bridging. This 'cross-ecosystem' capability has earned Kernel a reputation in both the BNB chain and Bitcoin community. Today, Kernel has activated over 20 million unique addresses, integrated with more than 50 DeFi protocols and dApps, taking the user experience of re-staking to new heights. From a startup project to an ecological pillar on the BNB chain, its growth has been remarkable.

Making the yield ecosystem of Web3 a whole

Kernel has seen through the pain points of Web3: yield fragmentation. Each chain and each protocol has its own staking rules and assets, forcing users to constantly switch tools and disperse funds, while developers must design separate solutions for each scenario. Kernel is not satisfied with this status quo; it wants to integrate these fragmented yield opportunities into a unified ecosystem.

One account unlocks all yields: with the $KERNEL token and a unified re-staking account, users do not need to switch tools for different protocols.

Lowering the threshold: allowing those who have never encountered DeFi to participate easily, just by locking up BNB or other assets to start earning yields.

Unified security and liquidity: injecting the security of BNB into dApps while connecting cross-chain and RWA yield channels through Kelp and Gain.

Their vision is to use re-staking technology to piece together the yield puzzle of Web3, ultimately allowing more people—possibly hundreds of millions of users—to truly enjoy the dividends of decentralized finance.

In conclusion

Kernel acts like a master of yield integration, piecing together fragmented opportunities in Web3. From its re-staking startup in 2023 to now being a pioneer of re-staking on the BNB chain, it has leveraged its multi-product ecosystem and technological innovation to ensure that the world of yields no longer fights alone. 20 million unique addresses, over 50 dApps, and $1.5 billion TVL are just the beginning. In the future, Kernel aims to transform the yield ecosystem of Web3 into a seamlessly connected whole, leading us into a more efficient and open blockchain era. If you are interested in DeFi and high-yield opportunities, Kernel is a potential project not to be overlooked!#Megadrop
