About

$KDEM & Kademlia Marketplace

A Kadena-native NFT marketplace with composable policies, curated launchpads, and a 75M fixed-supply utility token.

Why Kademlia?

Kademlia is a next-generation NFT marketplace built specifically for Kadena's braided proof-of-work chain. The UI you are reading ships with native support for the KademliaMarketplace-NG contract stack, mirrors Marmalade v2 standards, and exposes marketplace, auction, and launchpad surfaces from a single codebase.

The ecosystem token, $KDEM, is not released yet. Its total supply is permanently capped at 75,000,000 tokens. Distribution will occur alongside the Phase 2 rollout, unlocking protocol fee rebates, staking multipliers, and governance power. Until then, all marketplace activity settles purely in KDA with transparent fee accounting.

Everything here is open-source: the Pact contracts live inside contracts/KademliaMarketplace-NG, deployment scripts live in KademliaToken, and this interface runs on Next.js 15 with Tailwind CSS.

Marketplace Pillars
  • Non-custodial NFT trading powered by Marmalade v2 on Kadena
  • Composable policies for auctions, royalties, whitelists, and payments
  • Launchpad orchestration with transparent whitelist + mint phases
  • Unified dashboards for listings, live auctions, and creator analytics
  • Native $KDEM utility token (75M fixed supply) for fee rebates and staking once launched
  • Security-first architecture, open-sourced in contracts/KademliaMarketplace-NG
  • Planned Chainweb oracle feeds for dynamic pricing events
  • Progressive decentralization: governance activates after $KDEM distribution

Roadmap to Mainnet
How the rollout unfolds

Phase 0 — Testnet Validation

  • Full suite of Marmalade policy contracts deployed to local Chainweb nodes
  • Marketplace + launchpad UI running against mock data for rapid prototyping
  • Wallet flows exercised with devnet keys and replay protection

Phase 1 — Beta Launch

  • Enable curated creators with custodial minting (no $KDEM emission yet)
  • Activate basic fee sharing in KDA while token contracts finish audits
  • Gather metrics on auctions, liquidity depth, and drop throughput

Phase 2 — $KDEM Utility Rollout

  • Distribute initial 75M fixed-supply $KDEM via guarded launches
  • Switch marketplace fee rebates + staking multipliers to $KDEM
  • Open governance proposals for new policy templates and integrations
Risk Controls & Audits
Defensive engineering before $KDEM launches

All policy modules undergo peer review plus fuzz testing with Pact property checks. A dedicated audit window is scheduled before $KDEM touches mainnet liquidity.

Key guardrails:

  • Royalties, launchpad mints, and auctions all route through separate guard-managed multisigs.
  • Whitelist enrollments are replay-protected and reference on-chain commitment hashes.
  • Upgrade hooks require timelocked governance approval once $KDEM governance DAO activates.
