History
Overview $KAVA is a Layer-1 blockchain that combines the speed, interoperability and low transaction fees of Cosmos with the developer power of Ethereum. The Ethereum Co-Chain enables support for EVM smart contracts while the Cosmos Co-Chain enables the Tendermint consensus engine and the Inter Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC). The Tendermint Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism offers Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT), instant finality, and security. The two co-chains are connected by a translator module that enables them to interoperate seamlessly, bringing the two most used blockchain development environments together into a single, scalable network. The Kava Network features a native governance and utility token, KAVA, that can be staked by validators or delegated to validator nodes.
