About Kava

We started out by building the Kava blockchain, a foundational platform designed to provide the most safe, secure, and reliable experience for accessing DeFi apps and services.

We are a remote-first, globally distributed team that values first principle thinking, experimentation, and learning to ensure long-term success.

We are not dogmatic in our approach, but we are relentless in our pursuit to create impactful technology for the future.

We have a diverse set of backgrounds, skills, and culture but we’re all united in our passion about building new open financial infrastructure — together, so that our efforts will make a real impact and create lasting change in the word.

Features

Co-Chain Architecture
The most important feature of the Kava Network is its co-chain architecture, enabling developers to build and deploy their projects using either the EVM or Cosmos SDK execution environments with seamless interoperability between the two. The following diagram shows how the system will function once the Kava 10 upgrade is complete and the Kava Network mainnet goes live.

The co-chains of the Kava Network operate like the two hemispheres of a brain. The Cosmos Co-Chain is optimized for Cosmos ecosystem developers. The Ethereum Co-Chain is optimized for Ethereum ecosystem developers. The Translator Module connects the two distinct execution environments of the Co-Chains, allowing them to work seamlessly together at scale.

This packages the industry’s two most used execution environments within a single network. Ethereum meets Cosmos via the Kava Network’s robust, developer-optimized Layer-1 architecture.

The Ethereum Co-Chain
An EVM-compatible execution environment that empowers Solidity developers and their dApps to benefit from the scalability and security of the Kava Network.

The Cosmos Co-Chain
The Cosmos co-chain is a highly-scalable and secure Cosmos SDK blockchain that connects Kava to the 35+ chains and $60B+ of the Cosmos ecosystem via the IBC protocol.

Kava Roadmap

  • Q4 2021

  • December 07, 2021
    Ethereum Co-Chain Development Begins
    Development began on Kava’s upcoming Ethereum Co-Chain. The Ethereum Co-Chain will enable the optimized support of Ethereum-compatible smart contract development on the Kava Network, merging the interoperability of Cosmos with the developer support of Ethereum.

    December 19, 2021
    The road to the Kava Network kicked off with the successful launch of the Kava 9 testnet and The Loan Wars, a competition to promote the thorough testing of Kava’s Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC) integration and other features of the upgrade.
  • Q1 2022

  • January 19, 2022
    The Kava mainnet was upgraded to v44 of the Cosmos SDK, enabling the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) and connecting Kava to every blockchain in the Cosmos, one of the fastest-growing and most used decentralized ecosystems.

    February 7, 2022
    The Kava Pioneer program launches as the first of three unique incentives programs aimed at driving rapid growth for the Kava Network prior to the Kava Network mainnet launch. 100,000 KAVA will be shared between protocols that deploy to the Kava Network as part of the Ethereum Co-Chain Alpha. Protocols that deploy first will receive a greater share of the incentives.

    March 8, 2022
    A closed Alpha event allowing a selection of EVM-compatible dApps and smart contract development teams to test the stability of the Ethereum Co-Chain and pre-deploy their projects to the Kava Network ahead of the public beta and the Kava Network mainnet launch.
  • Q2 2022

  • April 5, 2022
    An incentivized public testnet event designed to fully stress-test the Ethereum Co-Chain. Users get to experience first-hand some of the protocols and dApps that will be launching on the Kava Network.

    April 2022
    Public beta release of the ETH bridge, unlocking the bridging of ETH, ERC-20 tokens, and ERC-1155 assets to the Kava Network

    May 25, 2022
    The full launch of the Kava Network, featuring the co-chain architecture of the Ethereum and Cosmos Co-Chains. This unlocks the ability for developers to build in both the EVM and Cosmos SDK execution environments with seamless interoperability between the two, connecting the two largest decentralized ecosystems on the planet.

    May 2022
    The Kava Network ETH bridge goes live, enabling the seamless bridging of thousands of ERC-20 assets and ETH onto the Kava Network, as well as the bridging of Kava’s native assets onto Ethereum and other EVM-architecture networks.

    Liquid staking is implemented on the Kava Network, allowing KAVA stakers to access and use their funds in a tokenized form while staking to secure the network and earn rewards.

    The third of three Kava Network incentive programs launches, delivering huge KAVA incentives to Web 3 builders in the GameFi and NFT verticals. The incentives will shared among the top 100 projects based on a combination of Active Monthly Users and Transaction Volume.

    June 2022
    Kava’s revolutionary on-chain DeFi developer incentives go live, providing massive annual developer incentives in KAVA to promote the rapid growth of the ecosystem. Incentives are awarded openly and on-chain to the top 100 protocols based on their TVL.
  • Q3 2022

  • The formal separation of the Kava DAO from the governance of the Kava Mint protocol and the establishment of the Kava Foundation, a non-profit advisory body of industry leaders that provide strategic input to the Kava DAO and its community.

    CosmWasm support goes live, allowing for the rapid deployment of smart contract dApps to the Cosmos Co-Chain, bringing existing protocols and new smart contract developers from across the Cosmos to the Kava Network.

    Using the EVM architecture of the Ethereum Co-Chain, the Kava Network is bridged to the Binance Smart Chain, unlocking over 300 BSC assets for potential use in the Kava ecosystem.

Kava Labs Review by Midgard Research
Kava is the Defi (Decentralized finance) platform for crypto assets. Their main feature is a multi-collateral CDP system - a system where users can take and offer collateralized loans of major crypto assets like BTC, XRP, BNB, etc.
Kava has already launched its test-net and has more than 100+ clients that highly support their system on that stage. Their token has a wide sphere of usage:
— Staking and Validation: Kava holders can use their tokens to participate in the network and get incentives from the network usage. Small token holders can delegate their tokens to big nodes (validators) and get a share of income from it. Validators will guarantee network security and will confirm all transactions in exchange for transaction fees.
— Governance: everybody in the network can govern the network and vote for system parameters that they want to see.
We find the tokenomics reasonable. The team plans to fundraise 3M USD on the Binance Launchpad. Previously, Kava Labs raised a total of $5.48 M in three private token sales. It is backed by notable investors, including Ripple and Arrington XRP Capital, among others. The only concern is a great difference between private and crowd prices. Crowdsale price is 0.46 USD and Private prices are varied from 0.075 USD to 0.40 USD. We want to highlight that all private sale tokens are locked for at least 6 months (1 year for 0.075USD 1st private round). Note, that private sale investors won't get all their tokens after 6 months or a year, they have to do work to earn them over 2 years. Round 2/3 participants get 50% of tokens at month 6 and earn the rest by validating over 2 years. Round 1 participants get 25% of their tokens at the end of 1st year, then they earn the rest quarterly over year 2 based on validating the network. We believe this is quite a strict distribution model, which will allow fair price discovery.
