Cryptopedia - Kava

## What Is Kava (KAVA)? Kava is a Layer-1 blockchain that combines the speed and interoperability of Cosmos with the developer power of Ethereum. Kava was built from the ground up to optimize its resources for protocol growth, strengthened by its Cosmos EVM technology that enables maximum scalability, speed, security, and developer support. Builders on Kava earn a share of Kava Rise's $750M developer incentive fund via the program's blockchain-based distribution method, designed to reward the top protocols every month based on usage.
