Kadena is a Layer 1 blockchain that combines proof-of-work security with smart contract capabilities through its novel Chainweb architecture. Chainweb braids together multiple parallel chains (currently 20) that share hash power for security, theoretically enabling unlimited scalability by adding more chains while maintaining proof-of-work's proven security model. Kadena uses the Pact smart contract language, a human-readable language with formal verification that is designed to be accessible to non-developers and prevent common smart contract bugs. The platform was founded by Stuart Popejoy and Will Martino, both former JPMorgan blockchain engineers who built JPMorgan's first blockchain. Kadena also offers Kadena SpireKey for gasless onboarding and has pursued enterprise adoption alongside its public chain development. The ecosystem includes DEXes, lending protocols, and NFT platforms.
