Launched in November 2021, Kaspa comes with a novel approach to cryptocurrency using blockDAG to allow parallel block processing, maintaining high speed alongside decentralization.
Token Supply and Distribution
With a total supply cap of 28.7 billion KAS, Kaspa establishes a deflationary model. Its tokenomics feature no pre-mine, no ICO, and equal mining opportunity, positioning it as one of the most equitably distributed cryptocurrencies.
Emission Schedule and Halving Mechanism
Kaspa's emission schedule is unique; rewards decrease smoothly each month instead of sudden halvings, making it predictable. In March 2025, rewards are at 61.73541265 KAS per second.
Mining and Block Speed
Kaspa mining has evolved through CPU to GPU, then FPGA, and ASIC stages. ASIC introduction in 2023 increased efficiency. The kHeavyHash algorithm is optimized for energy efficiency, while blockDAG allows faster block generation.
Kaspa's economic model offers fair distribution and sustainability in the crypto space. With 25.88 billion KAS in circulation, it stands as a significant digital currency.
