Kadena Tier 1 Support

We’re excited to share that Kadena is now live on the Dfns Wallet-as-a-Service platform as a Tier-1 blockchain. You can now create and manage KDA wallets, sign transactions, transfer assets, and broadcast directly onchain. Institutions and developers building on Kadena can use Dfns to access secure, programmable wallet infrastructure, the same foundation we provide across 100+ blockchains.

What is Kadena and why it stands out

Kadena is a Layer-1 blockchain built by former JP Morgan technologists to tackle the “blockchain trilemma” of security, scalability, and decentralization. Instead of abandoning proof-of-work (PoW), Kadena scales it with a design called Chainweb. Chainweb connects multiple parallel chains running at the same time, all secured by the same PoW. This allows Kadena to boost throughput by adding more chains, without giving up security or decentralization.

Kadena also created Pact, a smart contract language built for safety and clarity. Pact's design helps bugs and vulnerabilities be found before deployment, which is critical for financial and enterprise use.

Key features include:

• High throughput: Chainweb can scale to hundreds of thousands of transactions per second.
• Low fees: Transactions cost fractions of a cent, with a “gas station” model so businesses can cover fees for users.
• Secure PoW: Bitcoin-level security with scalability.
• Enterprise focus: Safety, efficiency, and predictable costs for critical apps.

Dfns unlocks Tier-1 support for Kadena

With Tier-1 support now live, Kadena wallets on Dfns now offer the full power of our infrastructure. Developers and institutions can:

• Access wallet data: Real-time balances, transfers, and history for KDA.
• Sign securely: Execute transactions via Dfns APIs or dashboard, with policies, quorum approvals, and governance controls.
• Transfer and broadcast: Send and receive KDA onchain with institutional safeguards.
• Automate with webhooks: Get instant balance and transfer alerts to trigger workflows.

This makes it easier to build reliable Kadena applications, whether for custody, trading, payments, or tokenization. By bringing Kadena to Tier-1, we combine its unique architecture with Dfns’ enterprise-grade wallet platform. Institutions can adopt Kadena with the same security, compliance, and scalability standards already trusted by 200+ organizations.
