Kava 15: KAVA Zero Inflation

Kava is set to be the first widely adopted Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain to have zero inflation. 

Kava 15 mainnet launch goes live December 7th enabling one of the most anticipated features of the year, permanently reducing KAVA inflation to zero on exactly midnight Dec 31st.

The circulating KAVA supply is set to the Max Supply KAVA supply. No new KAVA coins can be created. KAVA coins can only be destroyed (burned). All KAVA inflation mechanisms are zero’d or removed from the chain protocol, reinforcing Kava’s commitment to a stable and predictable ecosystem.

Post-December 31st, Kava chain’s operations will migrate to a sustainable model, driven by transaction fees, emissions from native projects, and interim allocations from the Kava Foundation. This model aims to not only maintain but also generate a net surplus of KAVA through on-chain activities. The Kava community will have the discretion to either burn this surplus or reinvest it to foster further adoption, enhance security, and promote decentralization within the network.

The community-backed Proposition 141, passed in May, laid the groundwork for this transformative change. It necessitated comprehensive modifications to the Kava reward structure, shifting from an inflation-based system to one sustained by accumulated fees, native project emissions, and temporary Foundation support.

Join the upcoming Kava 15 AMA session on Telegram this Thursday, November 16th at 3:00PM EST for an in-depth discussion on the implications and opportunities of this shift to zero inflation. Stay updated with the zero inflation countdown and latest developments by following @KAVA_CHAIN on Twitter.
