I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what actually moves DeFi forward.
Not the hype. Not new farms or temporary APYs. But infrastructure that makes the space more secure, more efficient, and more composable. A new approach, A new use case.
That’s when I saw @KernelDAO
Most people hear “restaking” and stop at Ethereum.
Kernel goes further building an economic security layer that stretches across chains.
And it’s not just theory. Here’s what’s already live:
• Kernel → Restaking infra, starting with BNB
• Kelp → Liquid ETH restaking with rsETH
• Gain → Yield access from both onchain and off-chain assets
At the center is $KERNEL the token that links it all together governance, coordination, and ecosystem power.
What Kernel is building feels less like a protocol, and more like invisible scaffolding that future DeFi protocols can rely on.
Quiet progress. Real tech.
Definitely worth watching.
