What Kadena is
Kadena (KDA) is a proof-of-stake Layer-1 blockchain, currently ranked 552nd by market capitalization among the assets we track. As a proof-of-stake Layer-1, Kadena hosts applications, settles their transactions, and lets KDA holders earn yield by helping validate. Capital at stake — not electricity — is what keeps the chain honest.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Staking ties the token's value to network security: more KDA bonded means a costlier attack, and stakers are paid for taking that role. Unstaking queues and slashing parameters shape how liquid that capital really is.
Where Kadena sits in the market
With KDA near $0.0375, Kadena carries a market capitalization of $12.43M. Around $51.01K changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 0.41% of the float — on the quieter side, which can mean thinner liquidity for large orders.
What the price history shows
Recent moves read 24-hour +1.35%, 7-day +476.51%.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Kadena in the Extreme-volatility band — it is in a high-volatility regime — these are the conditions where outsized gains and losses both become more likely.
How to evaluate Kadena
The honest checklist for KDA is short:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of KDA staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Kadena over competing Layer-1s.
