The user with the highest number of votes will win up to $2,000. In addition, those who participate in the voting will have the opportunity to share a $5,000 prize pool.

Finally, the crypto exchange said the KuCoin Community Chain (KCC) would jointly hold KCC Beowulf – the first major Web3 event, together with KuCoin Wallet and Windvane. 

It explained that KCC Beowulf is a 7-week interacting activity with more than 20 projects deployed on KCC, including decentralized exchanges (DEX), lending protocols, wallets, cross-chain bridges, and Web-3.0 protocols, participating.

KuCoin is one of the leading crypto exchanges in the world and has been around since 2017. The Seychelles-based exchange has a user-oriented platform focused on inclusiveness and community action reach and allows users to trade over 700 digital assets.

The low KuCoin fees make it one of the most attractive cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. Is KuCoin available in the US? At the moment, KuCoin isn’t licensed to operate in the United States. However, with the exchange’s globalization plan currently in motion, KuCoin could be expanding into the North American country soon.
