Bridge $BTC and more directly to and from Kava

We are excited to announce that Ren now supports direct bridging to and from Kava for every asset that Ren supports, such as $BTC, $ETH and $USDC!

Start bridging here: https://bridge.renproject.io

What is Kava?

Kava is a lightning-fast Layer-1 blockchain featuring a developer-optimized co-chain architecture that combines the two most used permissionless ecosystems — Ethereum and Cosmos — into a single, scalable, network. With Ren supporting it, you can now bridge $BTC, $DOGE, $ZEC as well as tokens and assets from the 8+ other smart contract chains Ren supports directly to Kava and back.

You can now build Cross-Chain dApps on Kava with the RenJS SDK. Get started below 👇

Verify the token contracts on this page, by selecting ‘Kava’ in the dropdown menu in the Gateway contracts section: https://renproject.github.io/ren-client-docs/contracts/deployments

Looking forward

We are excited to have Kava integrated with the Ren ecosystem, as it opens up not just a direct Bitcoin bridge to Kava, but 8+ chain bridges from the largest EVM chains and L2s, as well as Solana, directly to Kava, and as a result the Cosmos ecosystem at large! This massively expands interoperability for the whole crypto-finance ecosystem, as assets and liquidity can now move fluidly from almost anywhere to everywhere, without needing to interact with centralized exchanges. Powered by Ren, this poises Kava to become a major DeFi hub between the EVM and Cosmos ecosystems. Make sure to follow Ren on Twitter for any relevant updates.

Onwards and upwards,

— Ren Team
