KernelDAO Launches Strategic Airdrop Plan to Build Re-Staking Ecosystem with Mira, YieldNest, and $40 Million Ecosystem Fund
Source: KernelDAO
KernelDAO, jointly built by Kelp, Kernel, and Gain, has created an integrated re-staking ecosystem. Today, it announced a series of ecosystem development plans to further solidify its position as a leading shared security platform in the Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Bitcoin markets.
Ecosystem Token Incentive Plan
To demonstrate ecosystem synergies, key partners of the KernelDAO ecosystem — Mira (AI Co-processor) and YieldNest (Liquidity Re-staking) — have announced that they will allocate 1-2% of the total token supply to KERNEL token holders. This strategic move not only sets a precedent for future protocol integrations but also sets an example for over 25 ecosystem-building partners of KernelDAO, with more projects expected to follow suit.
Amitej Gajjala, Co-founder and CEO of KernelDAO, stated, "This collaborative token distribution approach showcases the strong alliance synergy within the KernelDAO ecosystem. As protocols succeed together, the entire ecosystem benefits."
$40 Million Ecosystem Strategic Fund
On the occasion of this announcement, KernelDAO has announced the establishment of a $40 million ecosystem fund. The fund has received support from well-known venture capital firms and top investors, including Laser Digital, SCB Limited, Hypersphere Ventures, Cypher Capital, ArkStream, and Levitate Labs, among others. This fund will empower developers to build more innovative projects and solidify Kernel's position as a leading re-staking infrastructure in the BNB Chain ecosystem.
With the support of over 20 top Dynamic Validation Networks (DVNs), Kernel plans to introduce over 45 strategic partners through this fund, further expanding its ecosystem footprint.
The dual drivers of token incentives and ecosystem fund will form a strong growth flywheel effect, helping KernelDAO become a core pillar of the emerging Restaking Economy.

On March 4, 2026, DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE American: DDC) today announced preliminary, unaudited full-year financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2025. The company expects to achieve record revenue and record positive adjusted EBITDA, primarily driven by continued growth in its core consumer food business and overall margin improvement. The final audited financial report is expected to be released in mid-April 2026.
Revenue: Expected to be between $39 million and $41 million, reaching a new company high.
Organic Growth: Excluding the impact of the company's strategic contraction of its U.S. operations, core revenue is expected to grow 11% to 17% year over year.
Gross Profit Margin: Expected to be between 28% and 30%, reflecting continued operational efficiency improvements.
Adjusted EBITDA: The company expects to achieve a positive full-year result in 2025, a significant improvement from a $3.5 million loss in 2024, mainly due to rigorous cost controls and a higher-margin sales mix.
In 2025, DDC's core consumer food business maintained strong operational performance.
The company also disclosed Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA, a metric that further excludes costs related to its Bitcoin reserve strategy and non-cash fair value adjustments related to its Bitcoin holdings from adjusted EBITDA to more accurately reflect the core business performance.
In 2025, Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $5.5 million and $6 million.
In the first half of 2025, DDC initiated a long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy, holding Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset.
As of December 31, 2025: The company holds 1,183 BTC.
As of February 28, 2026: Holdings increased to 2,118 BTC

We are building a disciplined, growth-oriented food platform and strategically allocating capital to Bitcoin assets with a long-term view, aligning with our core beliefs. We believe that this dual-track model of 'Steady Consumer Business + Strategic Bitcoin Reserve' will help DDC create lasting long-term value for shareholders."
For the full year 2025, the company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" (a non-GAAP financial measure) as: Net income / (loss) excluding the following items:· Interest expense· Taxes· Foreign exchange gains/losses· Long-lived asset impairment· Depreciation and amortization· Non-cash fair value changes related to financial instruments (including Bitcoin holdings)· Stock-based compensation
DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE: DDC) is actively implementing its corporate Bitcoin Treasury strategy while continuing to strengthen its position as a leading global Asian food platform.
