Kujira is a layer-1 blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK, so it is a Cosmos-style chain rather than an EVM one. Like other chains in that family, it relies on proof-of-stake, where holders stake the native token to help validate blocks, and it connects to other Cosmos networks via IBC. Its stated aim is to offer approachable DeFi tools, and its docs describe a wider ecosystem of hosted third-party projects.
The native token is KUJI. It is staked to secure the network and to vote in governance, and it is used to pay transaction fees. Fees are generally small compared with busy EVM chains, but they can change over time, so check your wallet before confirming. DeFi TVL for the chain shows as $0 in our data at the time of writing, so treat the TVL figures on individual dApps with care.
The ecosystem is best known for its stablecoin and cross-chain tools. USK is the overcollateralised, dollar-pegged stablecoin minted through collateralised debt positions. Maya Protocol, a THORChain fork, lets users swap native assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Zcash without wrapping. Eris Protocol offers liquid staking across many Cosmos chains.

Kujira FAQs
What is Kujira?
Kujira is a layer-1 blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK and focused on DeFi. It connects to other Cosmos chains through IBC and has its own native token, KUJI. Its stablecoin USK is one of the better-known products on the chain.
What is the KUJI token used for?
KUJI is the native token of the chain. Holders can stake it to help secure the network and take part in governance votes, which shape the direction of the network. Fees on the chain are also paid in the native token, though exact amounts vary.
Is Kujira an EVM chain?
No. Kujira is built on the Cosmos SDK rather than as an EVM chain, so it uses Cosmos-style wallets and tooling instead of Ethereum-style ones. Its own docs mention integrating with EVM money markets, but the base chain itself is not EVM.
What is USK?
USK is Kujira's dollar-pegged stablecoin. Users mint it by locking collateral in collateralised debt positions, and it is overcollateralised, meaning more value is locked than USK issued. Like any stablecoin, it carries risks, including the possibility of losing its peg.
