Kadena was founded in 2016 by Stuart Popejoy and Will Martino. Stuart Popejoy led JPMorgan's Emerging Blockchain group and had 15 years of experience building trading systems and infrastructure in finance before founding Kadena. Will Martino was the Lead Engineer for JPMorgan's blockchain prototype Juno and led the Cryptocurrency Steering Committee and the Qualitative Analytics Unit of the Securities and Exchange Committee. Furthermore, Dr. Stuart Haber, the co-inventor of blockchain technology and the most cited author in the Bitcoin white paper, also had a key role in founding Kadena. Kadena uses two types of consensus mechanisms: Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof of Work (PoW). These weave together blockchains, so to speak, allowing them to aggregate up to 20 blockchains to validate transactions.
