KASPA

Kaspa Overview


BEYOND THE BLOCK

 

Kaspa is the fastest, open-source, decentralized & fully scalable Layer-1 in the
world.
The world’s first blockDAG- a digital ledger enabling parallel blocks and
instant transaction confirmation, built on a robust proof-of-work engine with
rapid
single-second block intervals.
Built by industry pioneers, led by the people.

KASPA AT A GLANCE

Welcome to the Fastest Coin in the world. Kaspa is a community project,
completely open source, with no central governance. Think Bitcoin, Litecoin,
Monero, Grin, Kaspa. The coin was fair-launched without pre-mining or any other
pre-allocation of coins.

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING

Kaspa is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency which implements the GHOSTDAG protocol.
Unlike traditional blockchains, GHOSTDAG does not orphan blocks created in
parallel, but rather allows them to coexist and orders them in consensus.
Whereby our blockchain is actually a blockDAG; you can see GHOSTDAG in action in
a real time blockDAG visualizer.

This generalization of Nakamoto consensus allows for secure operation while
maintaining very high block rates (currently one block per second, aiming for
32/sec, with visions of 100/sec) and minuscule confirmation times dominated by
internet latency (cf. chapter 6 of the research paper for some initial
benchmarks).

The Kaspa implementation includes a lot of cool features and subprotocols
including Reachability to query the DAG’s topology, Block data pruning (with
near-future plans for block header pruning), SPV proofs, and later subnetwork
support which will make future implementation of layer 2 solutions much easier.

KASPA KEY FEATURES

Although there are many great features of the project and technology, here are
our top 6 to get you started on your journey into the fastest PoW on the planet!

 

FASTEST TRANSACTIONS

Kaspa’s blockDAG network generates multiple blocks every second for posting
transactions to the ledger. Combined with 10 second confirmation times makes
Kaspa ideal for everyday transactions.

Learn More

INSTANT CONFIRMATION

Kaspa was designed to be hundreds of times faster than Bitcoin, with each Kaspa
Transaction visable to the network in 1 second, and each transaction fully
confirmed in 10 seconds on average.
Learn More

SCALABILITY

Kaspa solves the scalability problem with its ability to generate and confirm
multiple blocks per second. This comes with no trade-off of security and
decentralization as seen with Proof-of-Stake networks.
Learn More

EFFICIENT PROOF-OF-WORK

Kaspa utilizes the optical-mining-ready kHeavyHash algorithm for consensus and
security of the network. This algorithm, combined with high-throughput DAG and
no-wasted-blocks, makes it less energy intensive than other PoW networks.

Learn More

SECURITY

Kaspa harnesses an ultra secure block network with no compromise to
decentralization.  Achieved with pure stake-less, proof-of-work combined with a
revolutionary GhostDag Consensus mechanism.
Learn More

BLOCKDAG

Overcoming the problem of blockchains, Kaspa processes all blocks in parallel
linking all side-chains. This leads to a dag structure that increases the
formation of blocks per second drastically, creating a blockDAG.
