Kernel's approach to restaking revolves around three flagship products: Kernel, a cross-chain restaking platform; Kelp, a liquid restaking solution on Ethereum; and Gain, tokenized yield products. These solutions collectively aim to unlock a $100 billion opportunity across restaking, DeFi, CeDeFi, and RWAs.
