Evaluating Kava, I use 'Prototype Economics' as a ruler. The first release should be smooth, obstacle removal should be clear, and rollbacks should be gentle. Bridge assets and deploying minimal contracts should not become a mental burden; error codes should point to modules, and logs should be able to concatenate time series; rollbacks should minimize the impact range. With these three points, the team can confidently hand over the first version to real users.
I advocate for a short sprint review method: apply pressure on a small flow once, rank by severity in the evening, and only address the most painful issues the next day. If costs suddenly become unpredictable, bridge event handling is slow, or documentation is inconsistent, immediately slow down the pace, stabilize the foundation before expanding. Running fast is important, but running long is even more important.
Kava does not promise miracles; it provides a reusable runway. For builders, this is the minimum certainty needed to bring ideas to life.
