# 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

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://yay.gitbook.io/yay-staking/updates/2025-03-27-usdkernel-airdrop-checker-for-kelp-vault-now-live.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
