Kaspa, launched in November 2021, introduces a new blockchain architecture—blockDAG, enabling parallel block processing and high transaction speed without sacrificing decentralization.
Token Supply and Distribution
Kaspa's total KAS supply is capped at 28.7 billion, creating a deflationary model. Key features include zero pre-mining, tokens are generated only through mining, and decisions are entirely community-driven.
Emission Schedule and Halving Mechanism
Kaspa's token emission follows a gradual monthly reward reduction, providing predictability for miners. As of March 2025, 25.88 billion KAS are in circulation, with block rewards at 61.73541265 KAS.
Mining and Block Speed
Kaspa uses the kHeavyHash algorithm for optimal energy efficiency. The blockDAG architecture accelerates block generation, supporting decentralization through distributed mining.
Kaspa stands out among cryptocurrencies due to its unique approach to token distribution and emission. Its combination of technical innovation and fair tokenomics makes it a sustainable system for long-term use.
