Kava's primary use cases include decentralized lending and borrowing, stablecoin creation, and cross-border payments and remittances. It offers a versatile platform for various financial activities in the crypto sphere.

### What is the history of Kava?
Kava was developed in 2018 by Kava Labs, founded by Ruaridh O'Donnell, Brian Kerr, and Scott Stuart. The platform officially launched its lending protocol on the Cosmos platform in August 2020, allowing BNB as collateral for loans in USDX. Significant technological evolutions include the introduction of EVM compatibility and integration with the Cosmos IBC for cross-chain operability.
