KernelDAO: The Next Wave of Restaking Innovation
KernelDAO is building one of the most powerful restaking ecosystems in crypto. With over $2B in TVL across its three core products Kernel, Kelp, and Gain it’s clear this project is gaining serious traction.
* Kernel is a shared-security layer on BNB Chain, securing 30+ apps across AI, ZK, Oracles, and more.
* Kelp is the second-largest liquid restaking protocol on Ethereum, letting users mint rsETH and plug into 40+ DeFi platforms.
* Gain offers vaults that auto-farm rewards and airdrops currently over $150M in deposits.
The $KERNEL token is the glue of the ecosystem used for governance, insurance, and rewards. The team set aside 55% of the supply for the community, including airdrops and incentive programs.
With backing from Binance Labs, Laser Digital, and Hypersphere, plus a $40M+ ecosystem fund, KernelDAO is well-positioned for long-term growth.
I’m keeping an eye on how their vaults evolve and how $KERNEL plays into new governance tools. The multi-chain expansion could make this one of the most capital-efficient ecosystems in DeFi.
Are you using rsETH or staking in any KernelDAO vaults yet?
