Important Update for the Kernel Community
The Kernel Dapp UI is being retired as part of our ongoing product evolution. Importantly, Kelp's retaking and Gain products continue to operate as usual, with no changes.
Over the past four seasons, you’ve played a key role in building a shared security protocol on BNB Chain — and we’re deeply grateful for that support. As Kernel enters its next chapter with the launch of KUSD, focused on the $250T supply chain financing opportunity, we are streamlining our product suite to better serve this vision.
Nothing changes at the protocol level. The underlying smart contracts remain fully live and functional.
Your assets remain safe, secure, and fully withdrawable at all times.
Key dates
28 February 2026 - End of points issuance (Season 4 was the final season)
27 March 2026 - Kernel dApp is sunset.
After 27 March 2026 - Withdraw directly from smart contracts via BscScan (this guide remains the permanent path)
What’s changing
The frontend is shutting down - the restaking interface will no longer be accessible
Deposits are paused - no new assets can be staked
Points are discontinued - no issuance after 28 February 2026
What remains
Smart contracts stay live
All assets remain safe
Withdrawals are always available via smart contracts
How to Withdraw
Withdrawals are now handled directly through the smart contracts. Follow the steps below carefully to access your funds.

Before you start, please ensure you have access to the following:
The wallet you used to deposit into Kernel
Some BNB in that wallet for gas fees
Step 1: Get your asset’s contract address
Find the contract address for the asset you want to withdraw.
The full list is at the end of the doc.
Step 2: Check your exact balance
Go to the "Read as Proxy" contract page on BscScan: Click Here
Find balanceOf (0xf7888aec)
In the asset (address) field, paste the address of the asset you found from the list at the end of the doc. *Note: You must check the balance for the specific assets you deposited into Kernel. If you deposited multiple different assets, you will need to repeat this entire balance check process for each individual asset.
In the owner (address) field, paste your own cryptocurrency wallet address. Important: This must be the exact same wallet address that you originally used to deposit your assets into Kernel.
Click the "Query" button.
Directly below the button, a uint256 response will appear. This is your full deposited balance for that specific asset, perfectly formatted for the smart contract (your actual amount multiplied by 10^18).
*Withdrawing multiple assets? Repeat this step for each one.
Step 3: Connect your wallet
You must connect your wallet to BscScan to authorize the withdrawal.
Switch over to the "Write as Proxy" tab: Click Here
Click the "Connect to Web3" button (located just above the function panels, indicated by a red dot).
Your wallet will pop up. Select the wallet address that holds your deposited Kernel assets and click "Connect". The dot will turn green once connected.
Step 4: Withdraw
Scroll down the "Write as Proxy" page and choose the correct function based on the asset you are withdrawing.
For Native BNB:
Find and expand the unstakeNative function.
In the amount (uint256) field, paste the exact amount of Native BNB balance you have deposited in Kernel. You must use the complete number you copied from your Native BNB balance query in Step 2.
In the referralId field, type NA.
Click the "Write" button and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
For clisBNB:
Find and expand the unstakeClisBNB function.
In the amount (uint256) field, paste the exact amount of clisBNB balance you have deposited in Kernel. You must use the complete number you copied from your clisBNB balance query in Step 2.
In the referralId field, type NA.
Click the "Write" button and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
For All Other Assets:
Find and expand the unstake function.
In the asset (address) field, paste the specific Asset Contract Address you copied from the dApp in Step 1.
In the amount (uint256) field, paste the complete, exact number you copied from your balance query for that specific asset in Step 2.
In the referralId field, type NA.
Click the "Write" button and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
