KAVA/USD (-7.69%)
Kava Token is the governance token on the Kava Chain. It is used for voting and proposals on the network, such as the type of dApps and supported assets, acceptable assets for debt collateral, the ratio, fees, savings rate, and debt limits. The token serves three main uses on the platform: governance, security, and mechanical functions. It is a Proof of Stake staking asset to ensure loan safety on the protocol and acts as a "lender of the last resort" if necessary. It can also be staked to gain rewards on exchanges, via delegation, or by running your staking node directly from the protocol.
A Bit About Kava
Brian Kerr, Ruaridh O'Donnell, and Scott Stuart founded the token and its chain via Kava labs in 2018. It is one of the chain's native tokens. It also serves as a Proof of Stake staking asset to ensure the safety and finality of loans and as a lender of last resort. Token holders can stake rewards by depositing the tokens at a staking service that accepts them. Users can deposit their tokens on an exchange and receive rewards. A part of the token emissions gets distributed as incentives that scale the network and enhance network growth. The economic incentives for the validators earn KAVA as block rewards, and the top 100 nodes can be staked. A downside to staking is that users must wait 21 days for their stake to unbind, and liquidity prices may alter their reward price.
