# Concepts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## EVM Gas Denom
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to use the EVM and be compatible with existing clients, the gas denom used by the EVM must be in 18 decimals. Since `ukava` has 6 decimals of precision, it cannot be used as the EVM gas denom directly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to use the Kava token on the EVM, the `evmutil` module provides an `EvmBankKeeper` that is responsible for the conversion of `ukava` and `akava`. A user's `akava` balance is stored in the `evmutil` store, while it's `ukava` balance remains stored in the cosmos-sdk `bank` module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## `EvmBankKeeper` Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `EvmBankKeeper` provides access to an account's **total** `akava` balance and the ability to transfer, mint, and burn `akava`. If anything other than the `akava` denom is requested, the `EvmBankKeeper` will panic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go
|
||
|
|
type BankKeeper interface {
|
||
|
|
evmtypes.BankKeeper
|
||
|
|
SpendableCoins(ctx sdk.Context, addr sdk.AccAddress) sdk.Coins
|
||
|
|
SendCoins(ctx sdk.Context, fromAddr sdk.AccAddress, toAddr sdk.AccAddress, amt sdk.Coins) error
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The keeper implements the `x/evm` module's `BankKeeper` interface to enable the usage of `akava` denom on the EVM.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `x/evm` Parameter
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since the EVM denom `akava` is required to use the `EvmBankKeeper`, it is necessary to set the `EVMDenom` param of the `x/evm` module to `akava`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `akava` Balance Calculation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `akava` balance of an account is derived from an account's **spendable** `ukava` balance times 10^12 (to derive its `akava` equivalent), plus the account's excess `akava` balance that can be accessed by the module `Keeper`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Conversions Between `akava` & `ukava`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When an account does not have sufficient `akava` to cover a transfer or burn, the `EvmBankKeeper` will try to swap 1 `ukava` to its equivalent `akava` amount. It does this by transferring 1 `ukava` from the sender to the `evmutil` module account, then adding the equivalent `akava` amount to the sender's balance via the keeper's `AddBalance`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In reverse, if an account has enough `akava` balance for one or more `ukava`, the excess `akava` balance will be converted to `ukava`. This is done by removing the excess `akava` balance tracked by `evmutil` module store, then transferring the equivalent `ukava` coins from the `evmutil` module account to the target account.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The swap logic ensures that all `akava` is backed by the equivalent `ukava` balance stored in the module account.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Module Keeper
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The module Keeper provides access to an account's excess `akava` balance and the ability to update the balance.
