How KUSD generates rewards. Most on-chain rewards depend on markets or incentives. KUSD is different. Rewards are generated when payments settle, not when prices move. Full breakdown in the blog ↓ blogs.kerneldao.com/blog/how-kusd-…


Safety isn’t a feature of KUSD. It’s the foundation. KUSD is built around real payment flows and institution-grade credit rails. So risk control comes first. Here’s how KUSD is designed for safety 🧵

“Kred is going to be our biggest launch since we created the company.” That line from @GoneMultichain set the tone for the Kelp 2025 retrospective AMA. But it only makes sense in context - restaking at scale, vault performance, and a 2026 expansion into real payment-backed credit. If you missed it, here’s the full breakdown 🧵

Global payments move ~$200T a year. Yet trillions sit idle because settlement is delayed and liquidity must be instant. This blog explains the missing layer - credit, not payments - and how Kred connects real payment flows to DeFi liquidity. 👇 blogs.kerneldao.com/blog/the-missi…


2025 was huge for us. Join @GoneMultichain, our Head of Community & Governance, for a live AMA to recap milestones, key decisions, and how the year went. 📆 Jan 9, 2026 ⏰ 2:30 PM UTC Bring your questions. x.com/i/spaces/1nAKE…

We recently highlighted an overlooked issue in global finance: while $200T+ flows fast yearly, the underlying system still depends on pre-funding and idle capital due to timing mismatches. Stablecoins improved speed but left a short-term credit gap, causing trillions to remain unproductive. This insight led to Kred and its core tool, KUSD - offering on-demand credit backed by real repayment flows, where users can earn rewards from real-world usage. Huge thanks to the teams at the @ethereumfndn and @chainlink for collaborating with us on that research and helping ground it in real infrastructure constraints.
