With KYVE being a one-of-a-kind Layer 1 blockchain that provides innovative, decentralized data tooling to the public, building it required an entirely new thought process for data in Web3.
After gaining support from the top L1s off of just the idea, then over 100k lines of code written across three different repositories, extensive testing by over 43,000 distinct users, and customization of certain Cosmos SDK features, what began as a simple bounty script has evolved into a complete network aimed at revolutionizing the data industry for the better.
And now, with KYVE mainnet live, we’d like to shed light on our learnings and unique development journey these past two years in getting KYVE to where it’s at today.
