Looking for an easy guide to how you can wrap and unwrap your Kava as ERC-20 tokens using MetaMask then follow the instructions below or in the video.

Wrapped KAVA (wKAVA) is the initial token used on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) for transacting with dApps, while KAVA will be the base (gas) token for interacting with the EVM. Kava Network users and developers gain access to billions of dollars in value with the Ethereum network’s functionality.

The Ethereum network will soon allow users to transact with wKAVA across other dApps..

KAVA can be easily wrapped and unwrapped as ERC-20 tokens using MetaMask.
