Staking: yields that matters
Kernel (BNB Chain): Restake BNB, BTC, or asBNB to secure 25+ dApps like Mira’s AI compute or Electron’s ZK proofs. $600M TVL makes it BNB Chain’s No1 restaking hub. Stake asBNB for a 5x Kernel Points boost, unlocking $KERNEL airdrops or Binance Launchpool goodies.
Kelp (Ethereum’s Co-Pilot): Deposit ETH, stETH, or ETHx to get rsETH, a liquid token for 150+ DeFi protocols (Aave, Pendle, Curve). With $1.6B TVL and 500K ETH restaked across 10+ L2s, it’s Ethereum’s No2 LRT.
Gain : Non-custodial vaults automate airdrops, points, and yields. Airdrop Gain Vault (agETH) has $150M TVL; High Gain Vault (hgETH) hit $40M quick. Use rsETH or stETH to maximize returns.
Insights:
Ecosystem Growth: A $40M fund is backing 45+ projects, with partners like YieldNest giving 1-2% of their tokens to $KERNEL holders. This drives staking demand and ecosystem utility.
Community Hype: @KernelDAO’s “Kollective” leaderboard is dropping $15K in rewards, and high percent of posts are bullish. Traders are saying $KERNEL’s $2B TVL vs $40M mcap is a steal.
