About Kava

The Kava Network is a Layer-1 blockchain that combines the speed and scalability of the Cosmos SDK with the developer support of Ethereum. The Kava Network will empower developers to build for Web3 and next-gen blockchain technologies through its unique co-chain architecture. KAVA is the native governance and staking token of the Kava Network, enabling its decentralization and security.

Kava network enables seamless interoperability between the Ethereum and Cosmos Co-Chains empowering developers to build in whichever environment they want without sacrificing access to the users and assets of the other. Kava’s lightning-fast Tendermint Core consensus engine enables the free flow of users, assets, and projects between Kava and the industry’s most relevant ecosystems at scale. The Kava network also stands as the only blockchain with a native issuance of USDT that seamlessly connects to the Cosmos ecosystem.

Kava network also features an innovative and transparent on-chain incentive program, Kava Rise, to ensure that the best builders in the Ethereum and Cosmos ecosystems are properly rewarded for driving growth to the Kava Network.

The Kava Network:

  • Is EVM compatible
  • Has 6 second block time and 1 block finality
  • Has over 125 protocols deployed with a TVL of ~$220mn (src: DefiLlama)

@0xRaghu, thanks for starting a thread here!

Thanks for filling out the template nicely - it will help expedite the process. Once you have some subgraphs built, please share the source code here so we can have our Indexer community (InfraDAO, specifically) try them out as a way to validate the integration with Graph Node. cc @Slimchance

Thanks for providing all the details on which binaries are needed at which block height in Accessing Historic Kava Data | Kava This is very helpful… I wish all tendermint-based chains did this.

It does take us a bit of time to compile all those binaries, but I think we have them all now so we can sync the chain from genesis.

My assumption is that starting from Kava-10 is sufficient for The Graph. Is this correct assumption?

Hey @mdarwin
Thanks for your feedback.
If you are using the binaries, yes you can start from Kava 10.
Our archival snapshots are also available for download on Quicksync at ChainLayer QuickSync
Whatever works best for you. Thank you.
