Staking on BitMax Now Enabled
Additionally, staking of KAVA is now enabled on Bitmax. The team made the announcement via twitter where they explained that staked assets can be used as collateral for leveraged trades.
ChainLink is the Official Oracle Provider for KAVA
Another development worth noting is outlined in the KAVA quarterly report . In the brief document, the team announced that Kava had chosen Chainlink as the official oracle provider to power the USDX stablecoin. The team went on to elaborate on why this move will be beneficial to the Kava ecosystem.
This integration allows all Cosmos chains to use Chainlink price data. After extensive research, we at Kava identified Chainlink as the most secure and reliable oracle solution to power Kava. Chainlink has the highest quality data we’ve seen of any provider & provable decentralized security that is live and battle-tested on mainnet for hundreds of millions already.
KAVA BNB Testnet Bridge Launch
To top it all off, the team at Kava has announced a new milestone of the successful launch of the KAVA BNB Bridge testnet. Such a bridge will allow for the first-ever cross-chain transfer between two Cosmos chains. Eventually, this will allow for the creation of Kava’s USDX using BNB. The testnet was launched yesterday, April 2nd.
