In addition to being 30+ protocols strong, the Pioneers add billions of dollars of real-world value to the Kava ecosystem.
As part of the Ethereum Co-Chain testnet’s Pioneer Program, Kava welcomes nine more protocols and their development teams.
You’re reading the third Pioneer Roundup covering the projects deploying to Kava ahead of the mainnet launch on May 10, 2022.
DexPad
DexPad is a decentralized, chain-agnostic IDO platform featuring the lowest fees on Cronos and home to the native $DXP governance token.
DexPad’s DeFi launchpad suite allows users to create unique tokens, initiate a presale, lock tokens for custom time intervals, and initiate airdrops for $DXP holders.
All this is possible even with minimal programming knowledge. That means even you, dear reader, can mint a token and raise capital on DexPad today.
Supported networks include Kava, Polygon, Avalanche, Binance Chain, and several more coming soon (e.g., Fantom).
And that’s not all — the roadmap lists a buyback-and-burn mechanism (complete), various security upgrades, a Stake and Earn program, a $DXP bridge, and additional yield farming.
The DexPad farm on Cronos has one of the highest APRs — check it out while these nosebleed returns are still available.
Like all of Kava’s Pioneers, the team at DexPad understands the massive value unlocked by Co-Chains. We’re in this together. Let’s get after it!

Photonswap
Photonswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) providing liquidity and enabling peer-to-peer transactions on Cronos Chain. Its AMM for EVM-based chains allows users to trade tokens and farm them for rewards.
You’ll find over 418 crypto pairs on the Photonswap DEX, powered by the native governance token $PHOTON.
The Photonswap team works in lockstep with DexPad to combine their Launchpad suite with Photonswap’s powerful AMM.

Metapoly
Metapoly is a new decentralized Metaverse land bank supported by the asset-backed stablecoin $USM. Metapoly aims to provide the critical liquidity to enable the Metaverse to grow.
Metapoly was founded to address the chronic fragmentation, illiquidity, and unaffordability plaguing the Metaverse real estate market.
“Imagine Blackrock for Metaverse, but decentralized and owned by DAO… This is an upgrade over the OlympusDAO’s ‘protocol-owned-liquidity’ model and Terra’s LUNA-UST stablecoin model, where Metapoly is the best of the three worlds; DeFi 2.0 + Metaverse + GameFi with NFT.” — Metapoly Docs
Alongside $USM, Metapoly offers a unifying currency to provide liquidity and enable mass participation in the Metaverse.
The asset-backed $D33D token grants holders ownership of the Metaverse lands owned by the DAO. Metapoly returns ownership to normal folks like you and me through democratization and fractionalization of Metaverse land.
The Metapoly treasury plans to add popular #Metaverse assets, including assets from The Sandbox and Decentraland, to back the value of $D33D and $USM.
