Kava (KAVA)
What is Kava?
The Kava Network stands as a robust and speedy Layer-1 blockchain, distinguished by its co-chain architecture that cleverly combines the efficiency of the Cosmos SDK with the versatility of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Within its realm, a suite of native DeFi offerings thrives, encompassing decentralized swap pools and collateralized lending and borrowing. This dynamic ecosystem also fosters the growth of third-party EVM and Cosmos SDK-based protocols.

Active set
There are 81 active validators ranked by the stake they manage. To enter the active set, a validator must hold more stake than the current 81st.
Slashing
Downtime:
If a validator signs less than 5% of blocks within a window of 10,000 blocks, it will be jailed for 10 minutes and incur a 0.01% slashing penalty. No rewards are earned during the jail period.
Double Signing: If a validator attests to two different blocks, it will be slashed by 5% and permanently banned from earning rewards. Delegators staking with that validator will also incur the 5% slashing penalty.
To continue earning, delegators must redelegate to another active validator.
If your validator has been slashed or jailed, consider redelegating to Everstake — a trusted validator with a proven zero-slashing record
