Based on the Cosmos SDK, the Kava blockchain specializes in providing a curated DeFi experience, leveraging the cross-chain capabilities of the Cosmos tech stack to offer assets such as Bitcoin, XRP, BNB and DOT for trading, lending and yield farming. “We’re delighted about this new partnership with Kava.io which will give millions of users worldwide a simple and convenient way to purchase KAVA” said Ari Last, VP Business Development at Simplex.

This integration with Simplex, together with the upcoming release of Kava Swap, guarantees an explosive growth for the Kava ecosystem. “Kava Labs is dedicated to reducing friction and continuously improving our users’ experience so they can purchase KAVA safely and easily around the world,” said Aaron Choi, Vice President Global Business Development at Kava. “Our partnership with Simplex provides for a simple and streamlined way to use credit or debit cards to buy KAVA and gain access to all of the assets on the Kava chain.” About Simplex Simplex is the fiat/crypto infrastructure for the entire world.
