Kernel restaking enters wind-down, dApp UI to retire by June 8, 2026
➤ KernelDAO is phasing out its Kernel restaking product, with new deposits halted and the dApp UI retiring by June 8, 2026, though withdrawals remain accessible via BscScan until 2029. ➤ This wind-down affects only the Kernel restaking service; other core products like Kelp (liquid restaking) and Gain (yield vaults) continue to operate, with Kelp historically managing over $2 billion in TVL. ➤ KernelDAO is strategically shifting focus towards KUSD, a product centered on supply chain financing, indicating a move from restaking yields to real-world asset utility.
