What is Kava AI?

Kava AI offers open-source intelligence that competes with leading AI models while maintaining decentralization on par with OpenAI O1 and Owen3, all without sacrificing privacy. This powerful tool enables natural language prompts and incorporates advanced blockchain reasoning. It allows users to interact with on-chain data, analyze smart contracts, and execute transactions within a single, intuitive chat interface.

In January 2025, Kava announced the launch of its first AI component, Oros, which serves as the DeAI Agent for Kava Chain. This launch marks a turning point as Kava Chain begins to expand into an AI-supported decentralized network. This new direction represents a significant upgrade to the product and technology, paving the way for Kava to thrive in the world of AI.

Integrating AI into Kava Chain is essential for simplifying DeFi by making complex blockchain tasks more accessible. For example, an AI-powered chatbot helps users manage cross-chain bridging using natural language commands. The AI autonomously handles transactions and asset routing, enabling people to focus on their goals instead of dealing with tedious, error-prone operations. Currently, users can view wallet balances, sign transactions, and switch EVM-compatible chains by interacting with Oros. Try it here: https://oros.kava.io

It doesn’t stop there. The Kava Labs engineering team is actively scaling Kava AI’s decentralized and open-source model infrastructure. Additional models and features, such as initiating swaps and identifying the best yield products, are on the roadmap for Kava AI.
