About Kadena

What Is Kadena?

Kadena (KDA) is a hybrid blockchain platform that combines public and private blockchains for high scalability, security, and efficiency. It uses the Pact smart contract language for secure transactions.

Who Are the Founders of Kadena?

Kadena was created by Stuart Popejoy and Will Martino, both former JPMorgan engineers, who sought to build a compliant, high-throughput platform for enterprise and DeFi applications.

What Makes Kadena Unique?

Kadena is highly scalable due to its multi-chain Proof-of-Work (PoW) model, which allows for fast transactions and low fees.

How Is the Kadena Network Secured?

Security combines parallel PoW chains that collectively validate the ledger with a PoS layer that governs protocol upgrades. KDA stakers vote on Kadena Improvement Proposals (KIPs) to introduce new features without forks.

What Is Kadena’s Role in the Crypto Ecosystem?

In the ecosystem, Kadena underpins enterprise smart contracts, DeFi primitives, and permissioned applications that require auditable, high-throughput processing and formal correctness.

How Is Kadena’s Technology Upgraded?

Follows the KIP process with upgrades activated on-chain after staker approval.

Who Are the Largest Corporate Holders of Kadena?

Institutional partners, such as Chainlink for oracle integrations, enterprise consortia, and the Kadena Foundation treasury hold sizable Kadena reserves for governance and development.
