Kava EVM Guide

Guide on transferring tokens to Kava EVM

Using Kava with MetaMask

Step 1: Add the Kava Network to Your MetaMask

To add the Kava Network to MetaMask, use the following details:

  • Network Name: Kava

  • New RPC URL: evm.kava-rpc.com (old RPC was: https://kava.public-rpc.com/kava_evm)

  • Chain ID: 2222

  • Currency Symbol: KAVA

  • Explorer URL: https://kavascan.com

The best place to find the endpoints for Kava is their public docs: https://docs.kava.io/docs/using-kava-endpoints/endpoints

Step 2: Connect Your MetaMask Wallet

  1. Navigate to Kava App Balances and connect your MetaMask wallet.

  2. Once connected, you will see two addresses:

First Address: This is your Kava EVM address, which is the same as on any other EVM chain like ETH Mainnet, Arbitrum, Optimism, etc.

Second Address: This is your Kava-specific address, connected to your EVM address. When you send Kava tokens to this address (starting with "kava196cd..."), they will also appear in your MetaMask wallet.

Step 3: Purchase and Withdraw KAVA from CEX

  1. Go to your favorite CEX

  2. Buy some KAVA tokens.

  3. Whitelist your Kava address on your CEX

  4. Withdraw the tokens to your wallet, making sure to leave the memo field blank.

Note: Always withdraw tokens to the address that starts with "kava"; for example, "kava196..."

Congratulations, you now have Kava tokens on the Kava EVM chain!

  2. Connect your Keplr wallet.
