Kadena is a blockchain network that was founded on the idea of revolutionizing how the world interacts and transacts. Since establishment, the project has witnessed mass adoption. The brains behind the blockchain network have introduced a chain architecture and created the tools to make the network work for business with tremendous pace, scale, and energy efficiency. Recently, KDA, the native cryptocurrency of the blockchain network, has skyrocketed by more than 500%. According to analysts and experts in the industry, new staking opportunities in DeFi and centralized exchanges, and a migration to Ether blockchain are the price driving factors for the digital asset.

Kadena is based on Proof-of-Work consensus

PoW blockchain networks were all the rage when Bitcoin was established. The flagship cryptocurrency set the standard for security and other projects that followed suit in various attempts to offer a strong, scalable network. However, as many globally began to concern the climatic impact of mining PoW based cryptocurrency, several protocols shifted to Proof-of-Stake.

KDA has joined the DeFi brigade

Indeed, the network will soon add cross-chain support for other blockchain networks like Terra, Polkadot, Celo, and Cosmos.
