Kava
Crypto Overview
Purpose and Utility
Kava is a layer-1 blockchain platform that aims to provide a developer-optimized network supporting both Ethereum and Cosmos ecosystems. The KAVA token serves multiple purposes: network security through staking, governance participation, and gas fees for transactions.

While the core technology is halal-compliant, it's important to note that some protocols built on Kava include lending and borrowing services which would need to be evaluated separately.

Development Activity
The project maintains active development with regular updates and improvements. The GitHub repository shows consistent commits, and the team regularly publishes technical updates and roadmap progress.
