Riding the Liquid Staking Wave
I’ve staked my tiny stash of $KAVA via bKAVA, Kava’s liquid staking token, and it’s awesome. You still earn staking rewards but can use your bKAVA anywhere in DeFi, and you keep voting power—pretty unique. They’ve also launched Earn and Boost modules to compound yield automatically across EVM assets bridged into Kava. Super handy if you want passive income without locking tokens away. 
Cross-Chain DeFi Made Simple
As someone who moves assets across chains, Kava’s cross-chain DNA grabbed me. Since its Kava 3 upgrade, it lets you use assets from Cosmos, Ethereum and BSC inside its ecosystem. And powering it all is an EVM-co-chain, so Ethereum developers can deploy as easily as on any EVM chain. It made onboarding multi-chain strategies infinitely smoother for me
