About KYVE

‍

KYVE Network is the leading Web3 decentralized data hub, making blockchain data a public good, streamlining historical data storage, validation, and accessibility for scaling blockchains and their ecosystems.
‍

Or more simply: KYVE is building the decentralized source of truth for all of Web3. 
‍

KYVE is its own Layer 1 blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK, with a validator set. It also has a protocol layer with its own set of protocol validators, all running with the Delegated Proof of Stake mechanism incentivized by the native coin $KYVE. 
‍

Discover the chain and protocol layers, along with specialized data tooling and how to take part in the network as a delegator or in governance via KYVE’s documentation here.

Embracing the power of decentralization, we are thrilled to partner with KYVE Network. This new data pool provides a trustless backup of our chain, enabling secure and flexible data sourcing for our ecosystem. We look forward to supporting KYVE as they continue to build out a fast, secure, and scalable ecosystem where trustless data flows seamlessly, revolutionizing the way we access and utilize information on the blockchain. - Max McKendry, Head of BD at Phi Labs, Archway

As blockchains finally scale through a modular approach, it becomes extremely important to verify the validity of the stored data. KYVE Network is uniquely positioned to solve that and has been executing relentlessly on that vision in the past 3 years. We’re more than excited to see their efforts come to fruition and proud to be their early supporters. - Gökhan ER, Managing Director at IOSG Ventures
