If you're following the evolution of staking on Ethereum, you’ve probably heard of EigenLayer and the concept of restaking. But one project that's truly making waves in this space is KelpDAO a multichain liquid restaking protocol that’s already managing over $1.5 billion in TVL.

🌿 What is KelpDAO?

KelpDAO is focused on building liquid restaking solutions for public blockchain networks — starting with Ethereum. It allows users to participate in restaking without sacrificing liquidity, thanks to its flagship product: rsETH.

🧪 How does it work?

When you restake ETH (or ETHx or stETH) through Kelp, you receive rsETH, a Liquid Restaked Token (LRT). rsETH represents your staked assets, while giving you the freedom to use it across DeFi — for lending, borrowing, or trading.

Instead of locking up assets like in traditional restaking, Kelp gives you liquidity + staking rewards + EigenLayer incentives — all at once. It's a major leap in capital efficiency.

💡 Why rsETH matters:

  • Stay Liquid: Use rsETH while still earning restaking rewards.

  • Composability: rsETH integrates with multiple DeFi apps.

  • Diversified Yield: Combine Ethereum staking rewards with EigenLayer returns.

  • Secure by Design: Audited by SigmaPrime & Code4rena, Kelp takes smart contract security seriously.

🛠️ Restaking is Simple:

  1. Connect your wallet via the Kelp Web App.

  2. Choose your asset (ETH, ETHx, or stETH) to restake.

  3. Confirm the transaction — and you're done.

  4. Track your rewards in the portfolio dashboard.

  5. When it’s time to exit, rsETH can be redeemed for ETH, ETHx, or stETH right from the dApp.

🔒 Security Comes First

KelpDAO doesn’t compromise on safety. Regular audits, secure smart contracts, and best practices across the board ensure your funds are protected. And remember: Kelp will never ask for your seed phrase.

💬 Final Thoughts:

KelpDAO is not just another DeFi protocol it's solving real pain points around staking liquidity, yield optimization, and validator coordination. If you're serious about restaking and want to stay agile in DeFi, this is one protocol you’ll want on your radar.
