Kernel DAO is a restaking protocol. The $KERNEL token airdrop from KernelDAO launches on April 14, 2025, marking the start of unified governance across Kernel, Kelp, and Gain. With over $2B in total value locked across its products—BNB’s shared security layer Kernel, Ethereum’s liquid restaking token Kelp, and tokenized yield vault Gain—KernelDAO is distributing 55% of $KERNEL supply to the community via airdrops and rewards. $KERNEL will be used for shared security, slashing insurance, governance, and liquidity provision, and staking it will earn Kernel Points for future rewards. Allocations will be claimable on BNB Chain for Kernel-only participants, and on Ethereum for those who participated through Kelp, Gain, or multiple products. The initial circulating supply at TGE will be 16.23%, with staking and governance features going live immediately.
