Kadena Halts Business Operations, But Miners Keep the Network Alive
Corporate doors close, blockchain heartbeat continues—miners defy the odds as Kadena's foundation crumbles.
The Unstoppable Network
While executives pack their desks, mining rigs hum louder than ever. Hash rates surge as decentralized operators double down, proving some networks can't be killed by boardroom decisions alone.
Protocol Over Paperwork
The chain keeps producing blocks, validators keep securing transactions, and the native token keeps finding liquidity. Turns out when you build something truly decentralized, it doesn't need corporate babysitters to function.
Another reminder that in crypto, the suits might write the checks but the machines write the history. Wall Street would call this chaos—we call it working as designed.

Founded in 2019 by ex-JPMorgan and SEC professionals Stuart Popejoy and William Martino, Kadena aimed to combine institutional-grade standards with scalable, secure smart contracts. The project raised nearly $15 million and at its peak saw KDA trading above $27. However, despite its technical strengths, Kadena struggled to maintain market relevance amid growing competition and falling investor interest.
In a farewell message on X, the team thanked supporters but acknowledged that the platform could no longer be sustained. Kadena’s closure highlights the challenges even well-funded, technically advanced blockchains face in volatile markets, emphasizing the need for consistent adoption and investor confidence to achieve long-term success.
