What Is Kava (KAVA)?
Kava is considered an emerging decentralized finance (challenge) project. While the Ethereum development team is promoting Ethereum as a more comprehensive platform that hosts most challenge applications, Kava has chosen to build on another well-known blockchain, Cosmos.
Kava allows users to lock cryptocurrencies into smart contracts based on Cosmos to borrow assets in the form of USDX, a US dollar-backed cryptocurrency. Kava takes advantage of the partitioning feature of Cosmos to manage supported crypto assets, which are operated via programs on different networks. This approach allows Kava to support a wide variety of assets, including XRP, BNB and BTC.
By staking tokens, users can strike USDX and receive weekly rewards in KAVA tokens, which are the native cryptocurrency of Kava. The type of guarantee and amount of USDX mined determine the total rewards in KAVA tokens that a user can earn. For example, BNB users can participate in a weekly distribution of 74,000 KAVA tokens issued by the platform.
