It does this by transferring 1 `ukava` from the sender to the `x/evmutil` module account, then adding the equivalent `akava` amount to the sender's balance in the module state. - -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 in the module store, then transferring the equivalent `ukava` coins from the `x/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. - ## ERC20 token <> sdk.Coin Conversion `x/evmutil` facilitates moving assets between Kava's EVM and Cosmos co-chains.
