$KERNEL launched with a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens, setting a hard cap for the entire ecosystem.
Distribution Breakdown:
• 55% – Community rewards & airdrops
• 5% – Ecosystem partners & liquidity support
• 20% – Private sale (strategic backers)
• 20% – Team & Advisors | 6-month cliff, 24-month linear vesting
This structure places the majority of supply in the hands of the community while aligning long-term incentives for builders.
Key Utilities:
• Meta-governance across Kernel’s three core products: Kelp LRT, Infrastructure, and Gain
• Restaking security for ETH, BNB Chain, and 8+ networks — with rewards from partners
• Future value drivers including LP incentives, protocol insurance, and buy-backs
With over $2B in TVL already restaked across multiple chains, $KERNEL is more than a token — it’s the backbone of cross-chain decentralized trust.
