Binance continues to reshape how new crypto projects reach users — and how users earn early rewards.
Its latest feature, Binance Megadrop, introduces a new model for token launches by combining passive income with interactive Web3 tasks. The goal is simple: reward engagement, not just participation.
Now, with the upcoming launch of KernelDAO (KERNEL) as the fourth project on Megadrop, users have the opportunity to explore a restaking protocol with strong DeFi integrations — and earn token rewards ahead of its public listing.
To take part, all it takes is a Binance account, access to the Binance Wallet, and a few minutes to explore the Megadrop section.
Creating an account is free and opens the door to early-stage token rewards, lower trading fees, and more.

KernelDAO: The 4th Project on Binance Megadrop
The latest project featured on Binance Megadrop is KernelDAO (KERNEL), a restaking protocol focused on simplifying how users earn rewards from staked assets.
With a strong foundation in Ethereum and BNB Chain ecosystems, KernelDAO offers a suite of products designed to make staking, liquidity, and yield generation more accessible.
The KERNEL token will be distributed through the Megadrop event ahead of its public listing on Binance Spot. Users who participate by locking BNB and completing the designated Web3 Quest can earn an allocation of KERNEL before trading begins.
What Is KernelDAO?
KernelDAO is a decentralized protocol that powers three interconnected products:
- Kernel — A shared security layer on BNB Chain that restakes assets like BNB and BTC to secure partner applications while generating rewards.
- Kelp (rsETH) — A liquid restaking token on Ethereum that accepts multiple collateral types and is widely integrated with DeFi platforms such as Aave, Compound, and Balancer.
- Gain — A suite of automated reward vaults that simplify access to yield strategies, airdrops, and ecosystem points across multiple blockchains.
The project’s mission is to bring simplicity, liquidity, and optimized returns to the staking ecosystem by turning complex strategies into user-friendly tools.
How to Earn KERNEL via Megadrop
To participate in the KernelDAO Megadrop, users must complete both a BNB lock and a Web3 Quest using Binance Wallet.
Required Web3 Quest Steps:
- Transfer 0.013 BNB or asBNB to your Binance Wallet (includes estimated gas)
- Stake at least 0.01 BNB or asBNB on KernelDAO using the in-app tutorial
- Verify your quest completion on the Kernel Megadrop page
Once verified, participants receive:
- A Web3 Quest Multiplier of 1.5×
- A Web3 Quest Bonus of 1,100 points
The final reward is calculated using the total score formula: Total Score = (Locked BNB Score × Multiplier) + Bonus
This score determines how much of the 40M KERNEL Megadrop allocation each user receives.

What Is Binance Megadrop?
Binance Megadrop is a token launch platform that gives users early access to new Web3 projects before they are listed for public trading. It combines two core elements of the Binance ecosystem — BNB Locked Products and the Binance Wallet — to create a reward-based experience that goes beyond standard airdrops.
Users can earn points by locking BNB for fixed terms and completing Web3 quests within the Binance Wallet. The more active and committed a user is, the higher their score — and the greater their share of token rewards.
Megadrop is designed to support projects building in DeFi, staking, infrastructure, and other key areas of the Web3 space. It also encourages users to explore on-chain tools in a secure and guided environment.
How Binance Megadrop Works
Binance Megadrop uses a score-based system to determine how many tokens each user receives during a launch event. The score is calculated by combining two main activities: locking BNB through Simple Earn and completing Web3 Quests using the Binance Wallet.
1. BNB Locked Products
To begin earning a score, users subscribe to BNB Locked Products. The score depends on two factors: how much BNB is locked and for how long. Longer lock-up periods result in higher scores. These subscriptions are tracked through hourly snapshots taken during the Megadrop period.
Importantly, while users earn Megadrop scores from locked BNB, they can also continue earning passive rewards through Launchpool and HODLer Airdrops without having to redeem their assets.
2. Web3 Quests
In addition to BNB locking, users can increase their total score by completing Web3 Quests. These quests involve simple on-chain actions using the Binance Wallet, such as transferring tokens or interacting with a featured protocol.
After completing all quests, users tap the “Verify” button on the Megadrop page to activate a bonus and a multiplier. These elements significantly increase the final reward amount.
3. Score-Based Reward System
The final token allocation is calculated as:
Total Score = (Locked BNB Score × Web3 Quest Multiplier) + Web3 Quest Bonus
Users with higher total scores receive a larger share of the token rewards available for that Megadrop. Once the event ends, rewards are sent directly to users’ Spot Wallets.
Eligibility and How to Join a Binance Megadrop
Participating in a Megadrop event is open to most Binance users, though there are a few requirements to ensure access and reward eligibility. Here’s what users need to know before joining.
Who Can Join?
- Binance KYC is required — only verified accounts are eligible
- Users must be in a supported region — some jurisdictions may not have access to Megadrop or certain project tokens
- A Binance Wallet (keyless) must be created and activated
- BNB must be locked through Simple Earn products — flexible staking does not count toward scoring

Step-by-Step: How to Participate
1. Create and verify your Binance account
Account verification is required to access Megadrop. If you’re new to the platform, signing up takes only a few minutes and also makes you eligible for other rewards like discounted trading fees and welcome bonuses.
2. Lock BNB through Simple Earn
Head to Simple Earn and subscribe to a BNB Locked Product. The longer the duration, the higher your Locked BNB Score will be.
3. Set up your Binance Wallet
Navigate to the Wallet section of the Binance App and create a keyless Binance Wallet. External wallets cannot be used for Megadrop quests.
4. Complete Web3 Quests
Each project will have its own list of tasks. These typically involve interacting with the project’s smart contracts through Binance Wallet, such as transferring tokens or staking assets.
5. Verify your participation
Once you complete the Web3 Quests, return to the project’s Megadrop page and tap the “Verify” button before the quest period ends. This step is essential to receive the bonus and multiplier.
6. Receive your rewards
At the end of the Megadrop period, token rewards will be calculated and sent to your Binance Spot Wallet. No additional action is needed.
Final Thoughts
Binance Megadrop is changing how early token access works by rewarding both commitment and engagement. For users who are active with BNB staking or exploring Web3 tools, it offers a simple way to earn rewards before a token even hits the market.
KernelDAO, as the fourth project featured on Megadrop, reflects the kind of advanced and utility-driven platforms Binance is bringing to its user base.
With strong fundamentals and a clear product vision, it represents an opportunity for users to get involved early—while also learning more about the fast-growing restaking space.
If you’re not yet set up on Binance, creating an account gives you access to Megadrop, Launchpool, and other early-stage reward programs available only through the platform.
