Kava is a Layer-1 blockchain that merges the strengths of Ethereum and Cosmos into one powerful platform. It is designed to give developers the familiarity of Ethereum’s tools with the scalability and interoperability of Cosmos, making it an ideal choice for DeFi, NFTs, and cross-chain applications.
Dual-Chain Advantage: EVM + Cosmos
At its core, Kava runs on a dual-chain design. On one side, the EVM-compatible chain allows developers to deploy Solidity smart contracts while using popular tools like MetaMask, Truffle, and Hardhat. On the other side, the Cosmos SDK chain—built with Tendermint consensus—handles fast transactions and smooth cross-chain interactions through IBC, linking Kava to more than 100 Cosmos-based blockchains.
-EVM support for Ethereum developers
-Cosmos SDK for custom cross-chain apps
-IBC connectivity with 100+ chains
Fast, Secure, and Scalable
The network is powered by proof-of-stake consensus, where validators stake KAVA tokens to secure the system. This ensures sub-5-second finality, strong security, and very low fees. Unlike Ethereum’s congestion, Kava achieves scalability through horizontal scaling across Cosmos zones.
-Transactions confirmed in under 5 seconds
-Fees as low as $0.01–$0.05
-Horizontal scaling for high throughput
Building Made Simple
Kava provides a complete playground for developers, offering both Ethereum familiarity and Cosmos flexibility. With a dedicated testnet and easy integration tools, building becomes faster and simpler.
-Deploy Ethereum dApps with minimal changes
-Access a testnet with free faucet tokens
-Integrate wallets like Keplr and MetaMask
-Use cross-chain bridges for wider reach
Fueling Innovation with Incentives
To drive growth, Kava supports builders with rewards and community programs. Ecosystem grants and campaigns like #KavaBNBChainSummer provide strong incentives for developers to expand their projects.
@kava is’nt just another blockchain—it’s where Ethereum’s creativity meets Cosmos’ scalability, opening doors to limitless Web3 innovation.
