Binance’s latest Megadrop event features KernelDAO (KERNEL), a restaking protocol powering decentralized ecosystems.

What is KernelDAO?
KernelDAO is a decentralized restaking protocol enabling users to earn rewards by securing networks like Kernel, Kelp, and Gain.
Its native token, KERNEL, will debut on Binance on April 14, 2025, making this Megadrop a prime opportunity for early adopters.

How to Participate in the KernelDAO Megadrop?
There are step-by-step guides to join and earn KERNEL rewards.
1. Update and Verify Your Binance Account
Make sure your Binance account is:
2. Prepare Your BNB
You need a minimum of 0.014 BNB (approx. $8–$9) to participate. This covers both the staking requirement and gas fees.
3. Access the Megadrop Interface
Open the Binance app, go to the “More” section, and select “Megadrop”. Choose the KernelDAO project to get started.
🔁 Option 1: Stake BNB to Earn Rewards
Binance allows users to lock BNB for different durations to increase their airdrop scores. The longer you stake, the higher your score:
| Lock Duration | Score Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 120 days | 0.45% |
| 90 days | 0.4% |
| 60 days | 0.34% |
| 30 days | 0.28% |
| Flexib | 0.2% |
📝 Tip: Influencers or large holders can stake bigger amounts for maximum rewards. But even small users can benefit with just 0.01 BNB staked.
I will advise you to select Flexible. If you select Flexible, you can withdraw the money whenever you want.
🌐 Option 2: Complete Web3 Quests
No need to stake if you prefer the Web3 Quest route:
Web3 Quest Steps:
- 🔄 Transfer 0.013 BNB to Binance Wallet (Keyless)
- 📥 Stake 0.01 BNB or asBNB on KernelDAO via Web3 interface
- ✅ Click “Verify” on the Megadrop page
⚠️ Completing the quiz is optional. You can still earn rewards without it.
