KADENA HISTORY
The project was founded by former members of the JPMorgan blockchain development team for Juno. Kadena has raised $15 million to date, with the majority of those funds secured in the form of SAFTs (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens). Not included in this total is the $150,000 grant Kadena received from the Interchain Foundation (the development team behind the Cosmos network) to build a version of Pact that is compatible with the Tendermint protocol.

HOW KADENA WORKS
Kadena is a public blockchain that aims to optimize for scalability and features a new smart contract language, dubbed Pact, which comes equipped with formal verification and upgradeable smart contracts. Kadena also uses a new Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism called Chainweb that consists of multiple individually mined chains working in parallel to execute network transactions. This design theoretically supports a high-transaction throughput at the base-layer without the need for any second-layer scalability or functionality solutions.
