Three Steps to Delta Neutral Yield
A step by step breakdown of how Kerne's delta neutral infrastructure generates stable yield while eliminating market risk.
The mechanisms of delta neutral yield
Autonomous hedging of spot ETH holdings with perpetual futures to capture base funding rates while maintaining zero directional market exposure.
Step 1: Deposit
Users deposit ETH into Kerne's noncustodial smart contracts. Your principal remains fully backed by liquid staking tokens on Base.
Step 2: Hedge
Our autonomous hedging engine opens equal sized short positions on perpetual futures markets, neutralizing price exposure completely.
Step 3: Earn
You earn yield from perpetual funding rates and LST staking rewards, autocompounded and distributed as vault share appreciation.
