1. What is Kelp?
Kelp is KernelDAO’s liquid restaking app that lets you stake ETH (or variants like ETHx, stETH) and instantly receive rsETH—a token that remains liquid and usable across many DeFi protocols
2. Setup & Stake

connect your wallet (e.g., MetaMask), and ensure it’s on Ethereum
Choose your asset (ETH, ETHx, or stETH), enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. You’ll receive rsETH in return for staking .
3. Put rsETH to work
Use rsETH across 40+ DeFi platforms like Aave, Compound, or Pendle for additional yield
Consider Kelp Gain vaults like Airdrop Gain (mint agETH) or High Growth vault (hgETH) that automate multi-protocol strategies
4. Security & Transparency
Kelp uses Chainlink Proof-of-Reserve to ensure each rsETH is fully backed
All vaults are non-custodial—your assets remain in your wallet and can be withdrawn anytime
5. Withdraw Your Assets
To redeem, open the Kelp dApp, choose “Withdraw,” select your preferred output (ETH, ETHx, or stETH), enter the amount, and confirm. Funds can be withdrawn anytime
6. Earn Extra Rewards (KEP points)
As you restake ETH, you earn KEP points, redeemable weekly and part of $KERNEL airdrop rewards
Kelp lets you stake ETH for network rewards without locking up liquidity. You can keep your rsETH active in DeFi, plus earn points and yield. It’s a one-stop liquid staking + yield strategy optimized for flexible earning.
