🛡️1. Kernel – Shared Security Layer (BNB Chain)
What it is: A restaking layer on BNB Chain that lets users restake BNB, BTC, and LSTs to secure multiple applications.
Why it matters: It decentralizes security across the BNB ecosystem, enabling protocols (like bridges and oracles) to inherit trust without building their own validator sets.
Key feature: Slashing risk is minimized through distributed validator mapping.
Use case: Projects plug into Kernel to outsource security and validators earn more with less risk.
💧2. Kelp – Liquid Restaking (Ethereum)
What it is: A platform to mint rsETH, a liquid token backed by restaked ETH.
Why it matters: Combines staking, restaking, and DeFi yields in one composable asset.
Key feature: rsETH can be used across 50+ DeFi protocols—Aave, Morpho, Balancer—without giving up staking rewards.
Use case: ETH holders earn more while staying liquid and flexible.
📈3. Gain – Automated Yield Vaults
What it is: Vaults that automate yield strategies using ETH, rsETH, or LSTs.
Why it matters: Offers curated strategies for things like airdrops (agETH) or high-yield (hgETH), optimized across L2s
Key feature: Non-custodial, single-click farming across multiple protocols.
Use case: Users earn optimal, risk-adjusted returns without active management.
Kernel secures BNB.Kelp makes ETH staking liquid and composable.Gain turns passive tokens into automated income.Together, they form a full-stack restaking + yield ecosystem—secure, liquid, and efficient.
