Kernel's Ecosystem

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.

Kernel's Achievements

Since its inception, Kernel has achieved the following milestones: over $1 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL), over 10 Layer-2 integrations, over 120 DeFi integrations, and more than 300,000 unique wallet addresses.

Kernel plans to expand its restaking model to additional Layer 1 blockchains, including Bitcoin derivatives and other yield-bearing assets, aiming for a global shared security model.
