Kernel Protocol - is a platform of Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs) tokens. These LRTs represent indexes of diverse asset categories from the Karak ecosystem, enabling users to participate in restaking with a variety of yield-bearing assets, such as DeFi positions and stablecoins, thereby increasing composability and utility compared to traditional restaking methods.

The protocol addresses liquidity fragmentation by offering broad asset indexes instead of specific tokens for each asset, which simplifies participation and reflects the diverse restaking opportunities in Karak. This innovation aims to position Kernel Protocol as a key player in the DeFi restaking space, providing essential liquidity and yield benefits for users.

The token KERN is the native utility token of the Kernel Protocol, used for governance and incentivizing liquidity within the Karak Network.
