ChatG🌊 How to Use Kelp by KernelDAO: A Beginner-Friendly Tutorial for DAO Coordination
Kelp is a modular, open-source toolkit created by KernelDAO to help DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) coordinate more effectively. Think of it as the Notion + Trello + Gnosis Safe of Web3 — but purpose-built for decentralized teams.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to get started with Kelp, step by step.
✅ What You’ll Learn:
What Kelp is and what it’s used for
How to connect your wallet
How to create and join a workspace
How to manage DAO tasks
How rewards and contributor tracking works
🔍 What is Kelp?
Kelp is designed to solve the messiness of DAO coordination. It helps DAOs:
Assign and track tasks
Incentivize contributors fairly
Streamline voting and payout processes
Keep everything transparent and on-chain (when needed)
🧰 Step-by-Step Guide to Using Kelp
Step 1: Visit the Kelp Interface
🔗 Go to https://kelp.dev
(Tip: Make sure you’re using a Web3-enabled browser or have MetaMask installed.)
Step 2: Connect Your Wallet
Click “Connect Wallet” in the top-right corner.
Select your wallet provider (e.g., MetaMask or WalletConnect).
Approve the connection.
✅ Now you're ready to interact with Kelp.
Step 3: Join or Create a Workspace
If you're joining an existing DAO, you'll see it listed or get an invite link.
To create a new workspace:
Click “Create Workspace”.
Name your DAO and add a description.
Set up roles (e.g., Core Team, Contributor).
Invite other wallets via address or ENS.
Step 4: Add and Manage Tasks
Each task in Kelp is a "Contribution" — it's how work gets recorded.
Click “Add Task”.
Fill in:
Task Name
Description
Assign to contributor(s)
Add reward (optional — in ETH or tokens)
Save and assign the task.
Once completed, contributors can submit proof of work, and DAO members can vote or review before reward distribution.
