Kava is a proof-of-stake layer 1 blockchain that pairs a Cosmos SDK chain with an Ethereum-compatible (EVM) chain. KAVA is its native token, used to pay transaction fees, stake to secure the network and vote on governance.
| Detail | |
|---|---|
| Mainnet launch | November 2019 |
| Architecture | Two co-chains: Cosmos (IBC, CometBFT consensus) and EVM |
| Supply | Fixed at about 1.08 billion KAVA since January 1, 2024 |
| Inflation | Zero, after the Kava 15 upgrade |
| Token uses | Gas fees, staking, governance |
The zero-inflation switch matters if you plan to hold. Before 2024, staking rewards came from newly minted KAVA. Since the Kava 15 upgrade, no new KAVA can be created, and supply can only shrink through burns.
Kava’s 2026 roadmap focuses on deeper USDT liquidity, tokenised financial products and AI infrastructure. Roadmaps are plans, not guarantees, so treat them as context rather than a reason to buy.

The safest place for buying Kava in India is an exchange registered with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) that supports a KAVA/INR route. Crypto is not banned in India but is not legal tender, and FIU registration means the platform follows anti-money-laundering rules.
Before you buy Kava online with rupees, check these six things:
| What to check | Why it matters for a KAVA purchase |
|---|---|
| FIU-IND registration | Confirms the platform follows PMLA rules on KYC, monitoring and reporting |
| KAVA INR support | Lets you fund in rupees and buy KAVA directly, with no P2P middleman |
| KYC process | PAN and Aadhaar-based verification is standard; skipping KYC is a red flag |
| Fees shown upfront | You should see the trading fee before you confirm, and the 1% TDS when you sell |
| Liquidity | KAVA is a smaller-cap token, so a deeper order book helps your order fill near the quoted price |
| KAVA withdrawals | Needed if you plan to move coins to your own Kava wallet; check which network is supported |
Here is the full flow, with the payment option that fits your situation.
Profits from selling or transferring KAVA are taxed at a flat 30%, plus applicable surcharge and cess. Union Budget 2026 left this unchanged.
Budget 2026 also added penalties, from April 1, 2026, for platforms that fail to file or misreport crypto transaction statements. Your trades are reported, so keep your own records.
This is general information, not tax advice. Speak to a chartered accountant about your situation.
