KAVA (Kava) Token Analysis 26/03/2022
Fundamental Analysis:
Kava is a cross-chain DeFi lending platform that allows users to borrow USDX stablecoins and deposit a variety of cryptocurrencies to begin earning a yield.
The Kava DeFi hub operates like a decentralized bank for digital assets, allowing users to access a range of decentralized financial services, including its native USD-pegged stablecoin USDX, as well as synthetics and derivatives. Through Kava, users are able to borrow USDX tokens by depositing collateral, effectively leveraging their exposure to crypto assets.
Built on the Cosmos blockchain, Kava makes use of a collateralized debt position (CDP) system to ensure stablecoin loans are always sufficiently collateralized. If a borrower fails to maintain their collateral above a required threshold, the Kava liquidator module will seize collateral from failing CDPs and send it to the auction module for sale.
In addition to Kava's USDX stablecoin, the Kava blockchain also includes the native KAVA token. This is a utility token used for voting on governance proposals and also functions as a reserve currency for when the system is undercollateralized.
Kava differentiates itself from other similar decentralized lending platforms thanks to its support for cross-chain assets.
Thanks to Cosmos’ zones technology, Kava users will be able to deposit a wide array of native assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, Binance Coin (BNB) and Binance USD (BUSD). But for now, cross-chain assets must be wrapped as Binance Chain (BEP2) assets.
Likewise, Kava also allows users to earn a yield by minting its USDX stablecoins. Once minted, these USDX tokens can be contributed to Kava's money market, known as HARD Protocol, earning the user a variable APY while their collateral remains secured by Kava.
Kava users can run their own staking node to earn KAVA rewards directly from the protocol. However, only the top 100 Kava nodes (also known as validators) are eligible to receive these rewards. Beyond this, KAVA holders can stake their tokens on a variety of compatible exchange platforms, like Binance and Huobi Pool.
Beyond this, users can earn regular KAVA rewards by minting USDX on the platform. The system also employs several mechanisms to burn KAVA tokens, helping to reduce the circulating supply.
Kava is built on Cosmos, and uses a Tendermint-based proof-of-stake (POS) consensus mechanism to ensure the integrity of the network.
This uses a network of validator nodes for confirming transactions. These validator nodes must put up collateral to take up the duty of validating transactions. If validators misbehave or fail to meet rigorous minimum requirements, their stake will be penalized — thereby incentivizing validators to remain honest and efficient.
Kava's smart contracts have been audited by multiple independent blockchain and crypto security firms, including CertiK, B-Harvest and Quantstamp. To date, no vulnerabilities have been found.
Kava Labs, Inc., the parent company behind Kava, was co-founded by Brian Kerr, Ruaridh O'Donnell and Scott Stuart.
Brian Kerr is the current CEO of the platform and previously worked as an advisor for several blockchain and crypto platforms, including Snowball and DMarket. Kerr has had a varied and successful career and was educated in business administration.
Ruaridh O'Donnell, an MSc Physics graduate, is listed as Kava's second co-founder and is a former engineer and data analyst at Levelworks. The final Kava co-founder is Scott Stuart, a former professional poker player who currently works as a product manager at Kava Labs.
Kava Labs also lists a dozen other employees and contractors, arguably the most prominent of which is Denali Marsh — an experienced smart contract developer and auditor who occupies the role of blockchain engineer at Kava.
The KAVA token first launched in 2019 following several private sales and a Binance Launchpad initial exchange offering (IEO). In total, 40% of KAVA tokens were sold to private sale investors, whereas 6.52% of the total supply was sold on Binance Launchpad — raising ~$3 million.
Of the remaining KAVA token supply, 25% was allocated to Kava Labs shareholders, whereas the final 28.48% is assigned to the Kava Treasury — to be used for growing the Kava ecosystem.
As of November 2020, almost 47 million KAVA tokens are in circulation, out of the current maximum supply of 111.5 million tokens. However, since KAVA is inflationary, this maximum supply increases over time — by between 3% to 20% per year, depending on the proportion of KAVA tokens that are staked. The maximum supply can also increase if KAVA needs to be minted to ensure the market remains sufficiently collateralized.
As per projections made by Binance, the KAVA token should reach 100% dilution by October 2022.
The current CoinMarketCap ranking is #113, with a live market cap of $618,478,209 USD. It has a circulating supply of 164,914,018 KAVA coins and the max supply is not available.
Technical Analysis:
There exist a Bullish Divergence of Price and MACD which is the sign of Bearish trend reversal and Start of the new bullish wave and new Cycle.
The Price has fallen below the 61.8% of the Fibonacci level which is a very important area for the correctional zones and Reaccumulating.
We have total of 3 Targets Defined using Fibonacci Trend Base Extension levels which are very accurate to find the Hight of the new cycle using the Past Impulsive cycles.
The 3 TP gets its confirmation as the Price Triggers the 2 TP which is located at the extension zone of the Fibonacci Trend Based Extension and once the price touches this area it means the 3 TP is mostly to be achieved on the same cycle.
