KernelDAO: Restaking Infrastructure for the Modular DeFi Era

KernelDAO is a modular restaking ecosystem designed to power the next generation of decentralized applications by unlocking new yield, security, and composability layers.

At its core, KernelDAO brings together three key products:

1. Kernel – Restaking for BNB Chain assets

Enables users to restake BNB-based tokens like SolvBTC to secure protocols and earn additional yield while participating in governance.

2. Kelp – Liquid ETH restaking

Built on top of EigenLayer, Kelp allows users to restake ETH while maintaining liquidity. It integrates with AVSs (Actively Validated Services) and supports DeFi-native restaking flows.

3. Gain – Automated DeFi vaults

Gain simplifies complex yield strategies into optimized, auto-rebalancing vaults. Users can earn sustainable returns through protocols integrated into Kernel’s ecosystem.
