## What we do

Kelp allows users to restake ETH or major liquid staking tokens in exchange for rsETH, a liquid restaking token usable across DeFi protocols, decentralized and centralized exchanges, and wallets. The protocol operates across 10+ blockchain networks and claims over $300M in liquidity across lending protocols and on-chain venues. It is aimed at ETH holders who want to earn additional rewards beyond standard staking without locking up liquidity.
