KERNEL Token Utility and TGE Launch Details
The KERNEL token ($KERNEL) launches April 14th with multiple utilities across the KernelDAO ecosystem:
- **Shared Security**: Stake tokens to provide economic security for ecosystem applications
- **Slashing Insurance**: Earn protocol rewards while protecting against slashing events
- **Governance**: Participate in decision-making across Kernel, Kelp, and Gain protocols
- **Liquidity Mining**: Earn rewards through AMM liquidity provision
The token unifies three core components:
1. Kelp's LRT
2. Kernel's shared security system
3. Gain's tokenized reward vaults
This integration creates a value cycle connecting infrastructure users, validators, and developers.
