As Web3 accelerates, the need for platforms that combine scalability with developer-friendly tools is greater than ever. **Kava** rises to this challenge with a Layer-1 network that fuses Ethereum’s flexibility with Cosmos’ high performance.
Built on the **Cosmos SDK** and **Tendermint consensus**, Kava delivers rapid throughput, single-block finality, and resilience—capable of powering thousands of protocols and millions of transactions.
Its standout feature is the **dual-chain (co-chain) architecture**: one chain fully supports EVM-based dApps, easing migration for Ethereum developers, while the other leverages Cosmos for cross-chain interoperability through **IBC**, connecting Kava to a vast interchain network. A translator module ensures smooth communication and asset flow between both chains.
With **Kava 14’s internal bridge**, developers gain secure atomic conversions between Cosmos-native assets and ERC-20 tokens—eliminating reliance on external bridges and enabling broader token and DeFi integrations.
For builders of DeFi apps, NFT marketplaces, or interoperable solutions, Kava provides a high-performance, secure, and flexible foundation. By simplifying integration and bridging ecosystems, it’s positioning itself as the backbone of scalable, interoperable Web3 innovation.
