Komodo

Komodo is a blockchain platform with Zero-knowledge proofs founded in 2016. Komodo is a fork of Zcash with all the privacy features of Zcash retained. It’s history goes back to 2014 when it's inventor James “jl777c” Lee wanted to address the problem of blockchain interoperability. In 2016, he developed a multi-blockchain architecture that allows projects to create their own blockchains with their tokens. These ‘own blockchains’ were called Smart Chains in Komodo’s ecosystem and were able to communicate with each other without any communication with Komodo’s main chain. These smart chains are future proof and they receive constant updates when released.

Komodo’s mainnet was launched in 2017. Komodo also offers an AtomicDEX which is a non--custodial decentralized exchange. Komodo’s Atomic Swap DEX is considered one of the most advanced mobile-first atomic swap protocol where you can trade BTC, ETH, and many more altcoins.

KMD is the native token of Komodo with the maximum supply limit of 200 million. Out of these 100 million were pre-mined and distributed during their ICO. The remaining 100 million KMDs are decomposed by Komodo using the proof-of-work algorithm. Any Komodo token holder holding more than 10 KMD is rewarded once in a month with APY approximately equal to 5.1%.
