step-by-step guide will help beginners stake and restake tokens using the KernelDAO platform, gaining rewards and supporting the @KernelDAO KernelDAO ecosystem.

What Is KernelDAO?

KernelDAO is a unified restaking protocol that lets you earn more from your crypto by staking or restaking across multiple networks and services. The platform consists of three core products:

Kernel: The main #restaking aking engine (BNB Chain-focused)

Kelp: Liquid restaking for Ethereum, offering liquid tokens (rsETH)

Gain: Automated, yield-generating vaults

For this tutorial, we’ll focus on how to stake on Kernel (BNB Chain).

Step-by-Step: How to Stake on KernelDAO

1. Set Up Your Wallet

Download MetaMask or the Binance Web3 Wallet extension for your browser.

Set your wallet network to BNB Chain (BSC).

2. Get Supported Assets

Purchase BNB or Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) like asBNB, BTCB, SBTC, or solvBTC on Binance or a decentralized exchange.

Transfer your tokens to your BNB Chain wallet address.

3. Connect to KernelDAO dApp

Go to the official dApp: app.kerneldao.com.

Click Connect Wallet and choose your installed wallet.

4. Select Asset & Amount to Stake

In the dashboard, locate the Staking/Restaking interface.

Pick the asset you want to stake (e.g., BNB, asBNB).

Enter the amount you wish to restake.

5. Approve and Stake

Click Approve so KernelDAO can access your tokens (a signature and small gas fee are required).

Once approved, hit Stake and confirm in your wallet. You’ll pay a minimal BNB transaction fee.

6. Watch Your Kernel Points Grow

After staking, you’ll start earning Kernel Points daily, which accumulate automatically.

1 BNB typically earns 2 points/day (check your dashboard for specifics).

7. Claim Rewards

When you’ve accumulated points, visit the Rewards tab in the dApp.

Convert points into KERNEL tokens, participate in Binance Launchpool airdrops, or other partner campaigns
