KernelDAO: Restaking Reimagined

@KernelDAO is redefining restaking with a unified ecosystem built for capital efficiency, cross-chain security, and user rewards. Through its flagship products $Kernel, the protocol is driving over $2B in TVL across BNB Chain and Ethereum.

🧠 The KernelDAO Ecosystem

Kernel: Provides shared security for the BNB Chain, allowing users to restake BNB and other assets.

• Kelp (rsETH): A leading liquid restaking protocol on Ethereum, integrated across 40+ DeFi platforms.

• Gain: Aggregated yield vaults that simplify rewards from airdrops and DeFi strategies.

💠 Introducing $KERNEL

Launched in April 2025, $KERNEL is the native utility and governance token of the ecosystem. With a total supply of 1B tokens, it fuels:

• Restaking security incentives

• Insurance against slashing

• Governance and protocol upgrades

• Liquidity across DeFi and AMMs

Notably, over 50% of the token supply is allocated to community rewards, including a Binance MegaDrop and ongoing incentives. This is amazing

🌐 Why It Matters

• Cross-chain Infrastructure – Seamless support across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and L2s

• Capital Efficiency – Stake once, earn many ways

• Simplified Yield – One place to restake, earn, and govern

With a clear roadmap ahead—including vault expansions, new middleware, and slashing mechanics—KernelDAO is positioned as a core layer in the evolving restaking and DeFi landscape.
