Kadena

What is Kadena ?

Kadena is a blockchain platform that was founded by Stuart Popejoy and William Martino, who played significant roles in creating JP Morgan's first blockchain and leading the SEC's Crypto Committee. The platform focuses on solving the challenges associated with scalability, security, and decentralization in blockchain networks. One of Kadena's standout features is its layer-1 Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain architecture called Chainweb. This architecture demonstrates how PoW can be effectively scaled without compromising security or network composability. In addition to its advanced blockchain architecture, Kadena offers a smart contract language called Pact. This language is specifically designed to prioritize security and user-friendliness. Developers can utilize Pact to create smart contracts that are auditable, secure, and easily verifiable. It includes features such as a human-readable syntax and the ability to define complex business logic.
