Been deep in the @KernelDAO ecosystem for a bit, and I have to say, it’s one of the few platforms where I feel like my assets are actually being put to work instead of just sitting there.

My journey started with my staked ETH. I took some of it over to KelpDAO and minted rsETH. The process was straightforward, but the real magic came after. I’m now using that rsETH in a Pendle Finance pool, earning points and yield on an asset that’s already earning staking and restaking rewards. My capital is literally working three jobs at once.

Then I looked at my BNB. Instead of just standard staking, I put it into Kernel. It's a different feeling. I’m not just earning a return; I can see my stake actively helping to secure new and upcoming projects on the BNB Chain. It feels more participatory, like I have a small stake in the growth of the whole ecosystem.

I haven't even dived into the Gain vaults yet, but that's my plan for next week to automate some of my stablecoin yield.

For me, this is what DeFi should feel like. It’s an interconnected system where my actions on Ethereum actually complement what I'm doing on BNB Chain. It’s not just a whitepaper concept; I’m actively using it, and it works.
