The KernelDAO has officially launched the early investment qualification query tool for Season One, revealing that over 100,000 users are eligible to participate in the Season One rewards. This large early user group will receive rewards during the first round allocation phase, accounting for 10% of the total supply of $KERNEL tokens.

“The successful launch of the Q1 empty investment qualification inquiry tool is an important milestone for KernelDAO,” said Amitej Gajjala, co-founder of KernelDAO. “The core goal of Q1 is to reward those users who truly participate in our ecosystem, laying the foundation for the upcoming TGE (Token Generation Event) and building a community based on actual adoption rather than speculative interest.”

This airdrop is part of KernelDAO’s preparation for the TGE in April 2025. Currently, the total locked value (TVL) of the KernelDAO ecosystem is approaching $2 billion, covering the following key products:

Kelp: with over $1.2 billion in rsETH locked value and over 300,000 re-stakers.

Gain: Lock up over 120 million USD in the tokenized reward vault.

Kernel: As the largest shared security layer on the BNB chain, the locked amount exceeds $660 million.

To ensure fairness in allocation, KernelDAO has established strict eligibility criteria, requiring users to earn at least 150 Kernel Points or Kelp Grand Miles by December 31, 2024. In addition, through collaboration with human.tech under Holonym, a comprehensive Sybil Attack analysis was conducted to verify real participants, resulting in one of the cleanest airdrop distributions in the industry.

Wallets that do not meet the minimum score requirement for Season 1 will have their Season 1 points transferred to Season 2 in order to participate in future airdrop events.

The $KERNEL token integrates the entire ecosystem through various practical functions, including re-staking security, insurance reduction, and governance features that cover all KernelDAO products.

At present, the first quarter of the empty investment qualification query tool has been launched on the official website of KernelDAO, and users can connect to the wallet to verify the qualification status in advance and prepare for the TGE in April.
