Karura (KAR) Is a decentralized financial hub of Kusama, which is a scalable, multichain network for early-Polkadot deployments.
This is an all-in-one decentralized finance (DeFi) platform intended to help users swap, borrow, lend, and earn while only paying micro gas fees.
Karura offers multiple solutions, including a trustless taking derivative liquid KSM, a multi-collateralized stablecoin which is fully backed by cross-chain assets (kUSD), and an automated market maker (AMM) decentralized exchange (DEX).
Additionally, Karura also launched as a sustainable token economic model, on-chain treasury, and the Decentralized Sovereign Wealth Fund (dSWF) with the goal of promoting the sustainable development of communities and networks.
Karura has a solid technical infrastructure as well and adopts the new Acala EVM, which is compatible with Ethereum whilst losing none of the functionality behind Substrate.
The KAR Token Explained
KAR is the native cryptocurrency utility token that powers the decentralized finance (DeFi) hub of Kusama. It powers the micro gas fees and smart contract execution. It is also used as an incentive to network nodes with the goal of getting them to monitor and relay messages to Kusama.
In terms of governance, KAR empowers the community to vote, elect council members and drive the development of Kurara further.
Then you have algorithmic risk adjustment, which auto-adjusts risk parameters such as interest rates or collateral ratios.
KAR is also used for smart contract deployment, which enables teams to employ new decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts on Karura’s platform after staking KAR. Additionally, KAR is a utility token with a fixed supply of 100,000,000, all of which is minted at the genesis block in its launch.
Features of Karura
Kusama has been described as a quicker version of Polkadot. This is due to the fact that Kusama and Polkadot are both independent of one another and are standalone networks built in the exact same way. Kusama has faster governance parameters as well as a higher level of risk tolerance.
Through launching on Kusama, Karura delivers decentralized financial products as well as stable assets on Kusama’s entire ecosystem of networks.
You can essentially stake your KSM for LKSM, which will give you the opportunity to earn rewards without sacrificing any liquidity. You can essentially stake any amount of KSM and unstake without waiting.
Then you have the Karura Dollar, which is the aforementioned stablecoin backed by cross-chain assets. It is stable with a value that is relative to the US Dollar.
