Been following KernelDAO recently and I think it's one of the more underrated DeFi ecosystems out there.
They’ve got three main products:
Kernel – restakes BNB/BTC on BNB Chain
Kelp – liquid ETH restaking through rsETH
Gain – vaults that help you farm, earn points, and catch airdrops
What stands out to me is how everything actually connects. You can move across products, earn, and still stay in control of your assets. They’ve already hit over $2B in TVL, which is wild for something still under the radar.
Also, the $KERNEL token isn’t just for show — it’s used across the whole system for governance, rewards, and security.
Not financial advice, but this is one I’m genuinely watching.
