KernelDAO : Introduction

NextKernelDAO Ecosystem: Core Product Offerings

Last updated 12 days ago

Executive Summary

KernelDAO envisions restaking as a transformative force in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) ecosystems. By unlocking shared security and additional reward generation, restaking enables greater capital efficiency and 10x cheaper crypto economic security.

Since the launch of restaking in Jun 2023, a robust ‘restaking stack’ has been developed on Ethereum that now functions as a bedrock for building a wide range of new services and middleware.

We believe that the ‘restaking stack’ will be an omni-chain phenomenon owing to its universal utility and we aspire to be a core pillar of this omni-chain restaking architecture.

KernelDao, today, offers 3 product categories - each positioned strategically within the ‘restaking stack’ to address distinct market needs and to provide a strong foundation for expansion into top opportunity verticals across restaking, DeFi and RWAs.

  1. Kernel: Shared security product on BNB Chain leveraging BNB, BTC and other rewards bearing assets.

    • USD ~300 Mn TVL within a few weeks and 25+ ecosystem projects.

    • 100’s of middleware leveraging restaking

    • Roadmap includes expansion to multiple ecosystems

  2. Kelp LRT (rsETH): Top Liquid Restaking on Ethereum offering instant liquidity and higher rewards opportunities on restaked assets.

    • Second largest LRT on Ethereum with USD ~$2 Bn in TVL.

    • 400,000+ unique restakers and integration with 50+ DeFi platforms, including major Layer 2 solutions.

  3. Gain: Non-custodial automated Yield Vaults on Ethereum offering one-click rewards maximising solutions to users.

    • USD 200 Mn+ TVL across within a few weeks of launch

    • Roadmap includes expansion into Bitcoin and RWA-based targeting multi-trillion-dollar potential.
