In an annoucnement, the Tether (USDT) team stressed that Kava (KAVA) merges the most impressive benefits of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with the speed, low transaction fees and interoperability of Cosmos SDK.

Paolo Ardoino, CTO at Tether, is excited by the new release and claims it will play a crucial role in USDT’s progress and adoption for various liquidity solutions:

We’re thrilled to be launching USD₮ on Kava, offering its strong community access to the world’s first, most stable, most trusted, and most widely used stablecoin. The Kava network is a unique and widely followed blockchain with a robust track record of four years with zero security issues, which is essential to protecting USD₮ users. Together, we aim to reshape the future of decentralized finance, fostering a robust and inclusive ecosystem that benefits users worldwide.

Previously, versions of USDT were launched on Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Algorand (ALGO), Eos (EOS), Tron (TRX), Near Protocol (NEAR) and Avalanche (AVAX) blockchains as well as on Liquid Network and Omni solutions.
