KAVA ($KAVA) is now integrated into Citadel.one.

Kava is a next-gen DeFi platform for lending with a goal of market flexibility. Kava offers a variety of products, but it’s two main services are offering loans with collateral and stablecoins.

Kava was specifically developed to provide stablecoins and decentralized lending against all major crypto assets in a transparent and easily understandable manner.

How does KAVA work

Kava makes use of a stablecoin known as USDX. Users can collateralize their crypto assets in exchange for USDX. Users looking to get a loan then need to lock up their crypto assets in a smart contract on the platform. Their locked up crypto serves as a collateral for the loan they want to receive.

Users can request and get collateralized loans to create artificial leverage for any supported crypto asset in the system. To give an example, a user could choose to lock up bitcoin using the protocol. After the bitcoin is locked up, the user will receive an amount of USDX equivalent to the locked up bitcoin which they can use to purchase more bitcoin. Therefore the user gains a leveraged position in the market.

Kava supports a wide range of Dapps which adds to the platform’s overall UX. For this reason users can store their assets using a wide variety of hardware wallets and widely acknowledged institutional-grade custodians. This allows for a platform whose flexibility favours it over it’s competition.
