Eligibility

To be eligible to receive DeFi incentives on Kava EVM chain, protocols must simply:

Register their protocol with DeFi Llama
Be deployed on the Kava Network Ethereum Co-Chain at the time of the monthly distribution
Have a minimum TVL of US$10,000 at the time of distribution

Distribution Mechanism

All Kava Rise distributions will be determined by transparent criteria, approved by Kava governance vote, and distributed on-chain to eligible protocols.

The top 100 DeFi protocols will receive pro-rata reward distributions monthly based on usage.
Usage will be calculated by the time-weighted total value locked (TVL) of the protocol as a share of the collective TVL of the top 100 protocols.
KAVA distributions are encouraged to be used as protocol incentives for users of the protocols on Kava, which should increase relative TVL and garner more KAVA rewards in the next cycle.
TVL will be calculated by official measurements from Kava ecosystem partner and leading aggregator — DeFiLlama.com

NFT & GameFi Incentives

The additional 5M KAVA set aside for NFT and GameFi incentives will be distributed in a similar programmatic, usage-based model to developers of NFT and GameFi projects on both co-chains.

How usage is calculated and the exact structure of the distributions to NFT and GameFi developers will be voted on by the Kava DAO at a later date. The amount allocated to this pool may also be adjusted by the DAO if the vertical drives significant usage for the network.

To be first in line to deploy on the Kava Network and begin earning with Kava Rise, register your project for the Pioneer Program. Deploy on the Ethereum Co-Chain alpha or beta prior to mainnet and claim a share of the 100K KAVA prize pool.
