KernelDAO (KERNEL) Price, Charts & Market Data

KERNEL is the native utility and governance token of the KernelDAO ecosystem. It serves several key roles:

• Restaking Security: KERNEL can be staked to provide economic security for applications built on Kernel, and to underwrite slashing insurance for restaked assets such as rsETH.
• Governance: Token holders can participate in protocol governance across all KernelDAO products, including voting on protocol upgrades, operator parameters, platform fees, and risk configurations.
• Incentives: KERNEL staking also enables users to earn a share of protocol rewards in return for participating in network governance and risk coverage.

The token is intended to unify the ecosystem's incentive mechanisms and governance framework across its restaking, liquidity, and vault-based components.
