KernelDAO | The 4th Project On Binance Megadrop
Binance announced the 4rd project on Binance Megadrop, featuring KernelDAO. In this article we will walk through everything you need to know about participating in binance megadrop Kernel.
Before we get into the user guide let's discuss what's KernelDao.
What is KernelDao?
KernelDao is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) focused on accelerating innovation in the blockchain and DeFi space through community-driven initiatives, grants, and experimental governance models. The KernelDao Token serves as the native utility and governance token of the protocol.
KernelDAO envisions restaking as a transformative force in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) ecosystems. By unlocking shared security and additional reward generation, restaking enables greater capital efficiency and 10x cheaper crypto economic security.
Products in the KernelDAO Ecosystem
1. Kernel (on BNB Chain)
This is the main restaking system on the BNB Chain. It allows users to restake BNB, BTC, and other tokens. When you restake, you help improve the security of crypto apps, and in return, you earn rewards. Kernel has become the biggest restaking project on BNB Chain, with more than $300 million locked in it.
Core Benefits:
For Distributed Validator Networks (DVNs): Access shared security at 10x to 100x lower cost with immediate network integration.For Delegators: Earn rewards on their assets and unlock capital efficiencyFor Operators: Increase operator revenue with multi-node validation
2. Kelp (on Ethereum)
Kelp is a liquid restaking system. It works with yield-generating tokens like stETH, wBETH, and others. “Liquid” means you can use your staked tokens in other DeFi apps even while they are earning rewards. Kelp is connected with over 50+ popular DeFi apps like Aave, Spark, and Compound. It has over $2+ billion in total value locked.
According to their Litepaper it has Over 400,000 unique restakers.
Core Benefits:
For Restakers: Immediate liquidity, simplified risk management, and enhanced rewards.For Operators and AVS: Streamlined partnerships, efficient access to restaked security, and reduced reward emissions.
3. Gain (on Ethereum)
Gain helps users grow their crypto through automated strategies like yield farming and airdrop farming. You don’t need to lock up your funds or invest a minimum amount. Gain has over $40 million in total value and is good for people who want to earn more without doing all the work themselves.
Core Benefits:
Automated deployment: Reduces complexity, enabling automated and convenient rewards management.Professional Management: Unlock institutional-grade reward strategies through a unified platform.Composability: Liquid vault tokens maximize capital efficiency and additional reward opportunities across DeFi
How Is KernelDAO Used (Utility) ?
The KERNEL token is the main token used in the KernelDAO system. It has several important uses:
Governance:
KERNEL holders can vote on how the system should develop. For example, they can decide on protocol upgrades, partnerships, how funds should be used, or which new tokens to support.
Restaking:
You can stake your KERNEL tokens to help secure different crypto apps that work with KernelDAO. In return, you can earn rewards from Kernel and its partner projects.
Liquidity:
Users can provide KERNEL tokens to liquidity pools (on platforms like Uniswap or PancakeSwap) to help trading. In return, they can earn trading fees or extra tokens as rewards.
Insurance (planned feature):
In the future, staked KERNEL tokens might be used as a kind of “insurance” to protect against risks in the network. This would need to be approved by the community through a vote.
