# 2025-03-27:  $KERNEL Airdrop Checker for Kelp Vault Now Live

The $KERNEL Season 1 airdrop eligibility checker is now available.

If you **staked on the Kelp Vault on Yay! Dashboard** and earned **Kelp Miles**, you may be eligible to receive $KERNEL tokens as part of KernelDAO’s Season 1 airdrop campaign.

### Key Details for Yay Users

* **Eligibility**: Based on a snapshot taken on **December 31, 2024**. Users who had earned Kelp Miles by that date are eligible.
* **Conversion Recap**:
  * Kelp Miles were previously converted to Kernel Points at a rate of 1,000 Miles = 1 Point
* **Minimum Requirement**:
  * 150 Kernel Points (equivalent to 150,000 Kelp Miles), or roughly 0.04 ETH ($100) staked
* **Reward**: Eligible wallets will receive **at least 100 $KERNEL tokens**

Wallets that do not meet the 150-point minimum will have their Season 1 points automatically **carried over to Season 2**, making them eligible for future airdrop rounds.

### How to Check Eligibility

1. Visit the checker: <https://kerneldao.com/airdrop-checker>
2. Connect the wallet you used for staking
3. Sign a message to verify your address
4. View your eligibility status and reward amount

### Additional Notes

* **Sybil Filtering**: KernelDAO partnered with human.tech to filter out Sybils and ensure that only genuine users receive rewards
* **$KERNEL** **TGE (Token Generation Event)** is planned for **early April 2025**
* **Claiming details** will be announced soon
