The kernel

On each blockchain, the 0x_nodes protocol is powered by a kernel. The kernel is a set of smart contracts that are designed to facilitate easy hand off between the depositor and the yielding strategies.

From the user’s perspective, the kernel facilitates the deposit of assets from their wallet into the 0x_nodes ecosystem, the selection of one or more investment options from a menu of yield-bearing investment strategies, and the harvest of yield back into the kernel where it can be deployed (compounded) or withdrawn.

Each 0x_nodes strategy deploys funds into multiple high-performing liquidity pools on an automated market maker (AMM), such as Uniswap, Sushiswap, and others. 0x_nodes strategies are multiple-farm (often “3-farm”) strategies, meaning that users’ funds are split and deployed into multiple liquidity pools.

Every time 0x_nodes develops an integration that connects its ecosystem to DEX or blockchain, it facilitates cross-pollination of communities, co-marking opportunities, and allows the 0x_nodes community itself to grow while providing liquidity to DEX.
