Kava is a cross-chain decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platform which enables users to take out loans by locking-in collateral in exchange for USDX, a stablecoin soft-pegged to the U.S. dollar.
Kava seeks to become the de facto DeFi lending protocol through its decentralized lending capabilities and USDX stablecoin, facilitating access for a greater variety of crypto assets for its users. At its core, the Kava protocol functions similarly to a bank. It enables users to deposit their assets and obtain loans, and charges interest on USDX borrowings and savings. Traditional financial institutions only ever provide these services after tedious registration processes, rigorous credit score checks, and compliance with know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. However, because of Kava’s decentralized nature, users need only supply their wallet address and any supported cryptocurrency to enjoy similar services. This has led to an increase in KAVA price.
Security
In terms of security, KAVA is used to validate transactions on the network. The protocol’s Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism enables KAVA token holders to stake their tokens and validate transactions. The top 100 stakers, determined by their proportion of staked KAVA, are designated as validators. Rewards are paid to these validators in KAVA derived from transaction fees and block rewards to incentivize proper validation of the system. Non-performance or improper validation results in the reduction of these rewards.
Statistics
Over $250 million have moved through KAVA APIs. Kava has processed over $100 million in loans to over 250,000 users.
