View ChartKomodo (KMD) is an open-source technology provider that offers all-in-one blockchain solutions for developers and enterprises. The project builds technologies that enable anyone to launch branded decentralized exchanges, cross-protocol financial applications, and independent blockchains. At its core, Komodo is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency with regular mining, enhanced by its Delayed Proof of Work (dPoW) security system that recycles Bitcoin's hashrate to ensure immutability. KMD serves as the community currency for the Komodo ecosystem, used for scalable, fast, cheap, and secure transactions. The token has a total supply of approximately 141.26M KMD, a circulating supply of about 135.95M KMD, and a maximum supply of 200M KMD. The project positions itself as a "REAL WEB3 EMPOWERMENT" platform, inviting users to join the trustless experience by eliminating the middleman and taking real control of what they own.
The driving force behind Komodo is James "JL777" Lee, described as a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency space and a gifted C programmer with a long history of innovation in the blockchain space. Lee, along with the Komodo team, played a pivotal role in the project's development. The Komodo Platform was forked from Zcash by the SuperNET team, and it is the evolution of the BitcoinDark cryptocurrency. Komodo team members initially chose not to reveal their identity, with the founder and one core developer going by the moniker JL777. The full team is now nearly 30 members spanning leadership, development, marketing, and other functions. The Komodo team consists of a select group of developers and experts in blockchain and cybersecurity, led by the developer known as jl777.
Komodo's form of providing security is called Delayed Proof of Work technology (dPoW). It builds on the most advanced form of blockchain security and is described as the industry-leading 51% attack security network. Powered by Litecoin cross-notarizations and backed by a notary node network, dPoW currently secures over 30 production blockchains. Through 64 pre-selected notary nodes that are voted on by the community, Komodo is able to notarize its blocks on the Bitcoin blockchain, ensuring that almost any attack attempt is mitigated since an attacker would also need to change the Bitcoin blockchain to tamper with Komodo. The block data from Komodo is introduced in Bitcoin via custom transactions made by the notary nodes that are connected to both blockchains. Any discrepancy on either blockchain will be detected by these nodes. This consensus mechanism can be used by basically any cryptocurrency that wishes to better its security system. Through Komodo itself, other blockchains can plug into Bitcoin, saving costs on transaction fees.
Komodo provides its own native multi-chain blockchain network that enables anyone to launch an independent blockchain called a Komodo Smart Chain (KSC), which runs separately from the KMD chain. Each KSC gets its own coin with zero gas fees and fully customizable parameters. Komodo also offers Komodo Custom Contracts (CCs) — a library of UTXO-based smart contracts for creating advanced dApps on KSCs. With roots going back to 2014, Komodo is the market leader in peer-to-peer (P2P) atomic swap technology. In 2016, Komodo first implemented Tier Nolan's idea of atomic swap technology. Since then, Komodo has continued pioneering atomic swap technology and offers the first production-ready atomic swap DEX in the industry. Composability is a design principle focused on providing a wide array of components, which can be activated as needed and used in different configurations to meet the unique demands of a specific use case. Developers use the open-source Komodo DeFi Framework to build cross-protocol DEXs, multi-coin non-custodial wallets, initial DEX offering (IDO) portals, and other decentralized applications.
KMD is the community currency for the Komodo ecosystem and is used for scalable, fast, cheap, and secure transactions. In most cases, 0.00001 KMD is sufficient for a transaction to be confirmed within a few seconds. KMD is one of the most actively traded pairs within Komodo Wallet. There is a 10% trading fee discount for taker orders when selling KMD for another cryptocurrency within Komodo Wallet. For KMD trading pairs, 25% of the DEX transaction fees goes towards automatically burning KMD. Komodo holders receive 5% annual percentage rate (APR) revenue automatically, with no settings to turn on and no modes to activate. The 5% APR will remain until the max supply of 200M KMD is reached, and only T-address balances will get the APR. Users are also able to generate KMD through the process of mining.
The project's flagship end-user application is Komodo Wallet (formerly AtomicDEX) — a non-custodial multi-coin wallet, crypto bridge, and DEX rolled into one app. Komodo Wallet is compatible with 99% of cryptocurrencies in existence and offers the widest cross-chain, cross-protocol trading support of any decentralized exchange. Komodo Wallet is the third-generation application of Komodo's atomic swap technology. Komodo Wallet is permissionless, non-custodial and decentralized and thus doesn't require any user-side KYC. It is supported on Web, Mobile, Desktop, Browser Extension and CLI. MoonFi bridges Cosmos/IBC to native BTC, ETH, DOGE, MATIC and more, offering the widest protocol support. Supported protocols via Komodo Wallet include Ethereum (ERC-20), Binance Coin (BEP-20), Avalanche (AVX-20), Polygon (Matic), Arbitrum, Ethereum (Base), KuCoin Token (KRC-20), Moonriver, Qtum (QRC-20), and IRISnet (TENDERMINTTOKEN). On Dec. 5, 2025, Gleec acquired the Komodo Ecosystem to scale native, secure cross-chain trading, bringing its cross-chain, bridge-free trading tech into a regulated ecosystem. On Dec. 20, 2025, Komodo released v0.9.2 [Draco Typhon], a mandatory daemon update.
Komodo is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency with regular mining, meaning users are able to generate KMD through the process of mining. The network utilizes the Equihash algorithm alongside its hybrid dPoW and PoW consensus mechanism. Miners participate in securing the network while earning KMD rewards. In addition to mining, Komodo holders receive 5% annual percentage rate (APR) revenue automatically, which remains until the maximum supply of 200M KMD is reached. Only T-address balances qualify for the APR. Through Komodo's dPoW system, the network recycles Bitcoin's hashrate to ensure immutability, adding an extra layer of security to the mining process. The Delayed Proof of Work system notarizes Komodo blocks on the Bitcoin blockchain via 64 community-voted notary nodes.
The safest way to store KMD is through non-custodial wallets where you control your private keys. Komodo Wallet is a fully non-custodial multi-coin wallet, crypto bridge, and DEX where seed phrases, private keys, and all other sensitive data generated by the wallet are managed on the user's own device and never leave it. The DEX is fully decentralized with no middleman, allowing users to trade P2P using atomic swaps while always maintaining 100% control of their funds. Guarda Wallet offers a secure and user-friendly platform for managing cryptocurrencies in a non-custodial manner, available on Web, Desktop, Mobile, and Browser Extension, with staking support for KMD. Ledger hardware wallets also support Komodo via the Komodo app, providing cold storage options. Always write down your seed phrase and store it securely, as it is the only recovery option. Never share your private keys with anyone, and consider using hardware wallets for large holdings.
