What is Kava?
Kava is a layer-1 blockchain launched in 2019 that works as a hub for cross-chain decentralised finance (DeFi). Built using the Cosmos SDK, it was designed to connect different blockchain networks, letting people bring assets from ecosystems such as Ethereum and Bitcoin into one place to access DeFi services.
The project describes itself as a decentralised bank for digital assets, offering tools like stablecoins, lending protocols, and earning mechanisms. Its architecture pairs the speed and interoperability of the Cosmos ecosystem with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, so developers can deploy applications that work across both Cosmos-based and Ethereum-based protocols.
Under the hood, Kava uses a Tendermint consensus mechanism for fast transaction processing and quick finality. The KAVA token itself is used for staking to help secure the network, for governance votes on protocol upgrades, and for paying fees across the platform.

FAQ
Buying Kava: FAQs
What is the minimum amount of Kava I can buy?
A whole KAVA token is not the starting point. On Digital Surge you can put in a small amount of AUD and grow the holding at your own pace, with the current minimum order printed next to the live price before you confirm.
How quickly can I buy KAVA after signing up?
Generally a matter of minutes. As soon as the identity check is done, your AUD shows up within a minute of sending it by PayID, so a fresh account can turn into a KAVA holding without much of a gap.
Can I sell Kava back to AUD?
Yes. Selling KAVA back to AUD on Digital Surge is open to you at any point, and the Australian dollars head to your bank account when you withdraw. Nothing ties your coins up, so you set the moment to sell.
What can I do with KAVA tokens?
KAVA can be used for staking to help secure the network, for voting in governance, and for paying fees across the platform. Within the Kava ecosystem it also plays a part in minting stablecoins and taking part in lending protocols.
Does Kava support other cryptocurrencies besides KAVA?
Yes. Kava supports cross-chain assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major cryptocurrencies. The platform lets users bring assets from different blockchains into the Kava ecosystem to access DeFi services such as lending and stablecoin minting. It also offers EVM compatibility for Ethereum-based applications.
