Reference implementation of Kava, a blockchain for cross-chain DeFi. Built using the cosmos-sdk.

Mainnet

The current recommended version of the software for mainnet is v0.26.2 The master branch of this repository often contains considerable development work since the last mainnet release and is not runnable on mainnet.

Installation and Setup

For detailed instructions see the Kava docs.

git checkout v0.26.2
make install

End-to-end tests of Kava use a tool for generating networks with different configurations: kvtool. This is included as a git submodule at tests/e2e/kvtool. When first cloning the repository, if you intend to run the e2e integration tests, you must also clone the submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kava.git

Or, if you have already cloned the repo: git submodule update --init

Testnet
