KernelDAO—backed by Binance Labs—is emerging as the backbone of shared-security and restaking on BNB Chain. With over \$450 M in BNB TVL and \$2 B+ across Kernel, Kelp, and Gain, its \$KERNEL token will fuel governance, slashing insurance, liquidity, and protocol expansion through a \$40M ecosystem fund ([btcc.com][1], [techbullion.com][2]). Kernel’s strength comes from over 20 DVNs, 120+ DeFi integrations, and a community‑centric tokenomics that aligns long‑term incentives ([blogs.kerneldao.com][3]).
