Founded in 2016 by Stuart Popejoy and William Martino, Kadena developed the only scalable layer 1 Proof of Work (“PoW”) blockchain along with Pact, the safest smart contract language. Kadena’s founders (previously leading JPMorgan’s Emerging Blockchain group) built a proprietary chain architecture providing the security of Bitcoin, virtually free gas (transaction fees), unparalleled throughput, as well as Pact – the most secure smart contract language with built-in automated auditing!
