Kernel x Ditto Network: Unlocking a New Era of Trustless Automation on BNB Chain

At Ditto Network, our mission is to make automation accessible to everyone. Today, we’re excited to announce a partnership with Kernel, which is building a foundation for a secure and scalable decentralized future on the BNB Chain

This collaboration represents a major step forward in empowering developers, dApps, and AI agents to build next-gen DeFi applications secured by restaked BNB. By integrating with Kernel’s shared security infrastructure, Ditto Network unlocks trustless, cross-chain automation on the BNB Chain, backed by robust economic guarantees.

Why This Partnership Matters

Kernel is a restaking protocol on BNB chain (Binance Smart Chain) that reimagines cryptoeconomic security. At its core, Kernel allows BNB token holders to amplify the utility of their assets through a restaking mechanism. 

This approach enables users with staked BNB—either directly or via liquid staking tokens (LSTs)—to further commit these assets to Kernel's smart contracts. By doing so, they extend the security blanket to a diverse array of applications within the network, all while unlocking new streams of rewards.

On the other hand, Ditto Network is a composable execution layer built to automate complex on-chain workflows, think liquidation protection, cross-chain swaps, or algorithmic trading, triggered by real-time on-chain or off-chain events.

Through this partnership:

• Ditto will leverage Kernel’s decentralized economic security, tapping into a scalable network of BNB restakers to secure automations with reliability and trustlessness. Ditto, the number #1 TVL on Symbiotic, will become even stronger together with Kernel.
• Kernel restakers benefit directly by securing a high-utility automation layer like Ditto, diversifying validator responsibilities and expanding reward potential beyond traditional staking.
• Developers building on Ditto can now create AI-driven agents and DeFi automations that execute based on intents and triggers, secured by the shared security Kernel provides.

How Ditto Works

Ditto is designed to execute smart contracts under specific conditions across EVM-compatible chains. Its use cases span:

• Automated liquidity management Preventing collateral liquidations, reallocating assets, or executing trades when market conditions shift.
• AI-integrated workflows Enabling intelligent agents to interact with DeFi protocols in real time, based on pre-programmed conditions and external data.
• Cross-chain coordination Making reliable and secure multi-chain interactions possible with composable, economically-backed guarantees.

This architecture aligns perfectly with Kernel’s mission to power secure decentralized infrastructure while enabling permissionless innovation.

Building the Future: DeFi + Automation + Security

The synergy between Kernel and Ditto is clear: Kernel provides the economic security layer, and Ditto brings high-value execution demands from a growing automation ecosystem.

Together, we enable:

• A secure foundation for AI-native applications
• More robust infrastructure for automated DeFi protocols
• An ecosystem where restakers earn by supporting high-value execution layers like Ditto

Join the Automation SZN

Ditto, the #1 in TVL on Symbiotic, is incentivizing everyone to automate, restake, build, or become an operator with points from Ditto and other partners. Now, you can easily join the Automation SZN and collect rewards. 

About Kernel

Kernel is the core infrastructure for restaking on BNB Chain that enables users to restake BNB, BTC, and liquid staking tokens to earn enhanced daily rewards while providing shared security. Built by DeFi veterans with $2B+ TVL experience, Kernel powers BNB's ecosystem with rock-solid infrastructure across a rapidly growing network of 25+ projects.
