Precise measurements of semileptonic kaon decay rates at KLOE provide the measurement of the CKM mixing matrix element \vus and information about lepton universality. Leptonic kaon decays provide an independent measurement of \abs\vus2/\abs\vud2, through the ratio Γ(K→μν)/Γ(π→μν). These measurements, together with the result of |\vud| from nuclear β transitions, provide the most precise test of CKM unitarity, allowing the universality of lepton and quark weak couplings to be tested. After the completion of the KLOE data taking, the proposal of a new run with an upgraded KLOE detector, KLOE-2, at an upgraded Dafne machine has been accepted by INFN and it is now starting. Present results from KLOE and future perspectives from KLOE-2 are reported.
