Kava
Kava is a Cosmos-based Layer 1 blockchain that runs a Tendermint chain and the EVM in parallel for cross-ecosystem DeFi.
What is Kava?
Kava is a Layer 1 blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK that pairs a Tendermint consensus chain with a co-chain running the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Developers can deploy Solidity contracts and Cosmos-native modules side by side, and the two co-chains can pass tokens through a translator module. The network is secured by KAVA staking, with on-chain incentive programs funding ecosystem developers.
