4 hours ago


Kaspa launched in November 2021 with its unique blockDAG architecture, enabling parallel block processing without sacrificing decentralization, making it one of the fastest mineable cryptocurrencies.

Tokenomics and Distribution

Kaspa's total supply is capped at 28.7 billion KAS, fostering a deflationary model. Key tokenomics features are no pre-mine, ICOs, or developer allocations, making it one of the most equitably distributed cryptocurrencies.

Emission and Halving Mechanism

The emission follows a unique schedule with smooth monthly reward reductions. This gradual approach halves rewards annually, allowing for a predictable emission curve and reducing market volatility.

Mining and Block Speed

Kaspa's mining evolved from CPU to ASIC, implementing the energy-efficient kHeavyHash algorithm. The blockDAG architecture allows rapid block production, promoting even reward distribution among miners.

Kaspa provides a compelling example of sustainable tokenomics through its blockDAG architecture, fair distribution, and gradual emission reduction. These attributes create a more stable and secure ecosystem, appealing to cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
