Introducing Kawa
A decentralized cross-chain lending protocol
Decentralized finance has witnessed an exponential growth and a massive increase in use throughout the last few years by enabling everyone to connect and manage their assets regardless of their status or location.
The DeFi scene aims to provide users with an open-source and permission-less financial service environment by utilizing smart contracts as a solid and secure foundation layer.
One of the main and most evolutionary concepts in DeFi that gained immense adoption amongst the masses are lending protocols which offer innovation in efficiency, flexible accessibility and transparency.
Over the last few months, behind the scenes, we have been developing the Kawa Protocol — a new blockchain-based fintech product with unique architecture and design that empowers cross-chain borrow and lending capabilities.
Innovative Design
Kawa is a cross-chain decentralized lending protocol which algorithmically determines rates based on supply and demand.
At its core, Kawa is a ledger that allows users to supply or borrow assets across different blockchains, while computing interest.
Most importantly, Kawa protocol’s architecture minimizes the security risks of wrapped assets that usually exist in different protocols.
Kawa aims to empower users who are seeking more ways to utilize their assets in a seamless, secure, and sufficient way.
(Full details about the architecture will follow in a later post)
Sui
Kawa will initially launch on the Sui Network.
Sui offers the latest innovations in blockchain technology with optimal solutions on scalability and programmability.
With features like parallel agreements, horizontal scaling and one of the strongest programming languages (Move), deploying on Sui came naturally.

The team behind Kawa
Our international team consists of multiple members, including engineers, security experts and designers. With deep experience in the financial sector and in DeFi, we are confident in taking our next big step with the launch of Kawa.
Kawa Origins
Inspired by Sui (Water element in Japanese), we took a similar approach with Kawa (River in Japanese). With a seamless stream of liquidity across lenders, borrowers and chains, Kawa is a perfect fit.
