Kava is a layer-1 blockchain that features a developer optimized co-chain architecture combining the two permissionless ecosystems, Ethereum and Cosmos, into one single and scalable network. In simple words, the Kava blockchain combines the speed and interoperability of Cosmos and the developer power of Ethereum.
The Ethereum Co-Chain supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contracts, and Cosmos Co-Chain enables the lightning-fast Tendermint consensus engine and the Inter Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC).
The company aims to establish Kava Network as a top-five L1 blockchain by empowering and incentivizing developers to drive the growth and usage of L1 ecosystems.
