카바

Kava is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain that merges the interoperability and scalability of the Cosmos ecosystem with the developer-friendly environment of Ethereum. It offers an EVM-compatible execution environment, enabling Solidity developers to deploy smart contracts while benefiting from Cosmos SDK's modular architecture and Tendermint consensus for fast finality and high throughput. This combination allows Kava to support thousands of protocols and millions of users with low transaction fees and high security.

The platform is designed for developers seeking to build scalable decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and other Web3 protocols that require cross-chain interoperability. Kava connects to over 30 chains and more than $60 billion in assets within the Cosmos ecosystem via the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. Developers can leverage Kava's JavaScript SDK, CLI tools, and modular Cosmos SDK components to customize and extend blockchain functionality. The network also supports standard Ethereum tools like MetaMask and The Graph, easing integration for Ethereum-native projects.

Kava incentivizes developer adoption through its $750 million Kava Rise program, which rewards projects based on on-chain usage. The ecosystem already hosts over 125 dApps, with more than 120 million KAVA tokens staked and 100 active validators securing the network. Average transaction fees remain extremely low (~$0.0001), making it cost-effective for high-volume applications. Developers can get started by configuring MetaMask for Kava, using the JavaScript SDK, and accessing comprehensive documentation and tutorials available on the official site.
