Completed milestones
January 2021
Chainweb 2.4 is out with support for Ethereum SPV, opening the way to full two-way bridges to Ethereum, Celo, Terra, and other EVM platforms!
With the help of our amazing community, we’re committed to making Kadena the best platform to take crypto and KDA into the new decade with an updated token economics document.
February 2021
After a successful and productive run in testnet, Kadenaswap is deployed on mainnet to start “Bountyswap”!
Kadena updated the circulation supply on the block explorer (Link: https://explorer.chainweb.com/mainnet ) to reflect the total coins on the network.
Kadena decreased the total emission rate of its platform token significantly with the intention of striking a balance between aggressively developing the platform while still supporting a healthy economy.
Kadena announced its first ambassador program, which incentivizes community members with KDA to spread Kadena’s brand via creating informative content, guiding new members in our community, and leading community channels.
Partnership with Tokensoft Wrapped to bring Wrapped tokens for BTC and ETH to Kadena’s DeFi infrastructure.
March 2021
Kadena collaborated with Zelcore to build a signing API to connect ZelCore’s wallet to dapps, allowing easier usability when using any dapps on the Kadena network.
Kadena’s Chain Relay program will involve our partners at ZelCore and CoinMetro to secure our decentralized bridges to Ethereum, Celo, and Terra, and other EVM chains.
Kadena collaborates with Flux, creating a new native token on KDA.
Kadena collaborated with Coinmetro to allow users who held KDA on Coinmetro to automatically stake their tokens for a percentage in XCM.
April 2021
Kadenaswap was rebranded by a community member through our technical grants program to give it a new look and feel. [UI project discontinued in favor of 3rd party development]

Colorblock is the first-ever NFT project built on the Kadena platform that uses gas stations to allow users to design, mint, display, and sell pixel art for free on the blockchain.
Pact 4.0 brings features such as new primitive operations, cross-chain event improvements, and code coverage for debugging, making coding in Pact more safe and secure.
Kadena enhanced its chainweb-data node to support events and further facilitate integration with our ecosystem for partners such as wallets, exchanges, and dapps.
July 2021
Kadena announced the launch of its Chain Relay Bonding Program, to secure its decentralized bridges to Ethereum, Celo, Terra, and other EVM chains.

We partnered with Coinmetro to provide our community with an easy and non-interactive manner of staking in Kadena’s Chain Relay Bonds
