Kelp DAO focuses on Liquid Restaking Solutions for Ethereum and OP Mainnet, aiming to improve liquidity for assets on platforms like EigenLayer. Its primary product, rsETH, allows fractional ownership of staked assets, offering both instant liquidity and redemption options. Additionally, Kelp DAO has introduced $KEP (Kelp Earned Points), a token that equates to EigenLayer Points, giving users flexibility in how they manage and utilize these rewards.
Aave offers a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity protocol for lending, borrowing, and earning interest on crypto assets. Its community-driven governance process involves AAVE, stkAAVE, and aAAVE token holders in decision-making. Ideas are discussed in the Aave Governance Forum, polled on Snapshot, and, if supported, become Aave Improvement Proposals (AIPs). AAVE tokens, capped at 16 million, are used for governance and protocol security.
