I’ve been diving into Kelp, one of the core products of @KernelDAO ecosystem, and it really feels like the future of ETH restaking. Kelp launched in December 2023 with rsETH, a liquid restaking token built on EigenLayer, and it’s already grown past $2B TVL across 10+ Ethereum Layer‑2s and over 40 DeFi platforms.

What I like most is how simple it is. You restake ETH (or stETH, ETHx) with Kelp and instantly get rsETH — a token you can trade, lend, or farm while still earning restaking rewards. It’s staking yield without locking up your funds.

The team is moving fast too. They’re pushing rsETH into major lending markets like Aave and Spark, expanding to more L2s, and aiming to make rsETH the go‑to liquid restaking token on Ethereum.

If you hold ETH and don’t want it sitting idle, Kelp feels like one of the easiest ways to keep it working while staying liquid.
