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 Kaspa 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

FASTEST TRANSACTIONS

Kaspa’s blockDAG network generates multiple blocks every second for posting
transactions to the ledger. Combined with fully confirmed transactions in 10
seconds, this 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 visible to the network in one 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 to 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.
