KuCoin is now an established cryptocurrency exchange that many crypto investors will have used or at least heard of. Less well known is the KuCoin Community Chain but, for intrepid yield farming enthusiasts, these sorts of new opportunities are often the most exciting.
KuCoin Community Chain was built by fans of KuCoin as an alternative to poor performance and expensive public chains. It launched its mainnet in 2021 and has been growing its ecosystem of projects, wallets and bridges ever since.
In this guide, you’ll find all you need to know about these areas and more, including the features, benefits and architecture of KuCoin Community Chain, as well as the staking and yield farming opportunities that exist.
KuCoin Community Chain (KCC) claims to be a decentralized public chain with high performance.
KCC was built by fans of KuCoin, a centralized cryptocurrency exchange with a long-term goal of full decentralization, and its token, KCS. It was designed to solve the low performance and high cost issues that the fan community saw in other public chains, so they could access a faster, more convenient and lower-cost alternative.
KCC has the following key features:
The mission of KCC is to accelerate the flow of value around the world without boundaries.
“KCC represents a key step towards decentralization beyond the integration of open-source blockchain communities.” — Johnny Lyu, CEO at KuCoin Global
KCC has introduced a PoSA consensus mechanism in order to achieve low transaction costs, low transaction delay and high transaction concurrency.
As the name suggests, PoSA is a combination of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Authority (PoA). KCC claims this consensus algorithm is more efficient, secure and robust.
It supports up to 29 validators. To become a validator, you must submit a proposal and wait for other active validators to vote on it. If more than half the active validators have voted, you will be eligible to become a validator. Any address can stake to a validator address and, once the validator’s staking volume ranks in the top 29, it becomes an active validator in the next epoch.
Active validators take turns to mine blocks. If a validator fails to mine a block on time during their round, other active validators who have not been involved in recent blocks will randomly perform the block-out.
Blocks are produced every three seconds in order to accelerate transaction confirmation and increase chain performance.
The KCS token is the native token for KCC. It can be used to pay gas fees.
As of 22 December 2021, KCS has a maximum supply of 166,729,977, a price of $21.49 and a current market cap of $1,662,060,764 (according to CoinGecko data).
The KuCoin Community Chain ecosystem includes exchanges, wallets, community, NFT and yield generation projects, as well as much more.
According to the KCC ecosystem dashboard, there is over $47 million of value locked in the ecosystem. The top projects in the ecosystem are MojitoSwap, KuSwap, Alpha DAO, Vixen Punks and KuKitty.
There are a few wallet options available for KCC, including well-known wallets that can be configured for this purpose.
MetaMask is the most popular web and mobile cryptocurrency wallet, originally designed for using the Ethereum blockchain. It can be configured to work with KCC too.

Coin98 is a multichain non-custodial wallet that can be used to manage everything from DeFi to NFTs. It can be used to set up a KCC wallet too.
There are a couple of bridges that already exist for transferring assets from well-known EVM-based blockchains.
The KCC Bridge is the main bridge between KCC and Ethereum, which can be used to transfer a range of popular assets, such as stablecoins, between chains.
KCC Pad is an IDO launchpad for the KCC network that has also developed a bridge to Binance Smart Chain for transferring assets.
