• Kava Lend is a decentralized money market built on Kava, enabling the lending and borrowing of cross-chain assets.

  • Initially, Kava Lend supports supply-side deposits for BTC, XRP, BNB, BUSD, and USDX. Going forward, the platform will allow overcollateralized borrowing for supported assets.

  • The HARD token is the native governance token of the platform and has the following current and planned use cases:

    • Liquidity mining rewards: the HARD token is rewarded to users who deposit and/or borrow supported assets.

    • Governance voting: HARD token holders can participate in platform governance voting and earn HARD rewards.

  • All HARD tokens distributed as rewards are locked by a smart contract. Users that claim HARD tokens with longer vesting schedules will receive more tokens. The exact options for token redemptions are subject to governance voting.

Kava Lend is a cross-chain money market for digital assets that aims to provide the ability to lend, borrow, and earn with a wide variety of assets including BTC, XRP, BNB, BUSD, KAVA, USDX, and others.

The platform is built on the interoperable Kava blockchain that provides cross-chain bridges, Chainlink oracles, security from the Tendermint consensus mechanism, and other infrastructure designed as a foundation for DeFi applications and services.
