The Kava platform is a decentralized software protocol and native blockchain that uses the Cosmos software development kit framework. It is a reliable infrastructure equipped with cross-chain capabilities, and it is also a system that utilizes multiple currencies and gives users the freedom to lend and borrow assets without a middleman or the usual financial intermediary.
MoreKava uses smart contracts, which are essential to users who want to borrow USDX and lock their assets. To make sure that the USDX value retains its U.S. dollar equivalent, a contract is drawn up and this is what’s known as a CDP or Collateralized Debt Position.

New blocks on Kava are proposed by validators. To enable Kava to run seamlessly, validators need the technical capabilities to offer a secure, always on infrastructure. Not everyone is able to do this. Some token holders participate indirectly by delegating the tokens they have to a validator. When staking KAVA on Coinmerce you delegate your tokens to our validator. By delegating KAVA, you help secure the network. You get part of the rewards provided by the protocol for this assistance. If you are planning to hold on to KAVA for some time, delegating will help you accumulate more KAVA while contributing to the health of the network.
Established in 2018, Kava’s founders are Scott Stuart, Ruaridh O’Donnell, and Brian Kerr. The three actually started working on Kava in 2017 and despite some developments and changes, they have remained with the team, serving product manager, blockchain development lead, and CEO, respectively. The co-founders also established the for-profit Kava Labs, which is intended for the continuing development of the Kava platform. In 2019, the Kava team organized a token sale, which they held on Binance. Selling more or less 6.5% of their available supply, the team collected around $3 million. A year later, in 2020, the network’s decentralized lending platform went live, using Binance Coin (BNB) as collateral for USDX borrowers. By August 2020, the estimated worth of contract-locked Binance Coins was at approximately $24 million. The total value of USDX borrowed was 8 million. KAVA and the USDX-Kava are the Kava network’s two tokens, with KAVA being the native token and USDX functioning as the stablecoin.
