Our take
Blockchain technology is here to stay, and its popularity is on the rise, with companies moving to build the infrastructure that will propel web 3.0 into the future. Kadena is an open-source public blockchain network that boasts high transaction speeds and no reliance on layer 2 scaling. The company is also responsible for the smart contract language Pact, that has automated auditing built-in.
Founded in 2016, Kadena aims to enable the advent of blockchain by delivering scalability and safety, enabling other innovators in the space to focus on accelerating their work. Its Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain is the first scalable layer-1 blockchain, allowing the company to uniquely deliver infrastructure-grade performance. Pact, meanwhile, is readable for non-developers, and automatically detects bugs, meaning it has high employability across a range of projects.
Kadena prides itself on innovation, and as such has continued updating and adding new features to its system. Aligning with its dedication to advance the adoption of the blockchain, the company launched a $100 million grant program as part of its “Kadena Eco” initiative, that will give top industry thinkers and tech talent the funds to contribute to the growth of the Kadena ecosystem.
