About Kaspa (KAS): The Fastest Proof-of-Work Blockchain
Kaspa is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built to deliver fast, secure, and scalable transactions using a unique blockDAG architecture. Unlike traditional blockchains, Kaspa processes multiple blocks in parallel — enabling extremely high throughput without sacrificing decentralization.
The KAS token is used for peer-to-peer payments, network security, and future dApp interactions.
What Is Kaspa?
Kaspa is a proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain designed to:
- Provide near-instant confirmations and high scalability
- Maintain decentralization while processing thousands of transactions per second
- Offer a simple, lightweight, and fair mining experience
Launched in 2021, Kaspa is community-driven, with no pre-mine, no ICO, and open-source development.
Key Features of Kaspa
-
blockDAG Architecture: Unlike linear chains, Kaspa uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of blocks, allowing parallel block creation.
-
High Throughput: Processes 1 block per second (with plans to scale to 10+), enabling thousands of transactions per second with finality in seconds.
-
Proof-of-Work Security: Uses the kHeavyHash algorithm, designed to be energy-efficient and mineable with consumer hardware.
-
Fair Launch: No pre-mine or early investor advantage — 100% mined and distributed fairly to the community.
-
KAS Token Utility:
- Used for transaction fees and payments
- Will be used in future Layer 2 smart contract applications
- Secures the network via mining incentives
Kaspa offers the speed and efficiency of next-gen blockchains — with the time-tested security of proof-of-work and a community-first ethos.
