The Kava Network announced via X on Wednesday that Kava 16 has officially launched on mainnet. Kava 16 migrates the dedicated bridge with Binance Chain, which has safely facilitated over $2.5B in cross-chain transfers, over to Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

Thanks to this launch, BSC users now have access to native $USDt and $WBTC with
