Kadena is a Chainweb blockchain protocol that uses a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. Its native token is KDA, and it serves as a decentralized application platform that offers security, scalability, and speed.
● Multi-chain architecture
Kadena's multi-chain architecture benefits from the Chainweb mechanism, which enables multiple blockchains to run in parallel and generate blocks asynchronously at the same height, with each peer chain braided into a multi-chain architecture to improve throughput and scalability. The following features are associated with Kadena's multi-chain architecture:
1. Currently, the Kadena network supports 20 chains (chain 0 to chain 19) that operate in parallel.
2. Each chain is controlled by a different public key, and assets on different chains are isolated from one another. Therefore, when sending or receiving KDA, you must choose the relevant chain (identified by chain ID).
3. The upper limit of a single transaction depends on the available balance on each chain, and it is not possible for transactions to gather assets from different chains.
4. Cross-chain transfers are supported, allowing account A to transfer assets from chain 0 to the chain 1 address of account B.
5. An activation fee is required to create an account on each chain.
