What Is Kaspa (KAS)?
Kaspa is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency launched in 2021 with a fair launch, meaning there was no pre-mine or pre-sale. It is designed to combine the security of proof-of-work with very fast block times.
KAS is the native coin of the network. It pays transaction fees and rewards the miners who secure the chain.
How Does Kaspa Work?
Instead of a single chain, Kaspa uses a blockDAG built on the GHOSTDAG protocol. Blocks created in parallel are all included and ordered, which allows the network to produce several blocks per second without wasting work.
Key Features of KAS
- Proof-of-work security with very fast block times.
- BlockDAG design that includes parallel blocks.
- Fair launch with no pre-mine.
- Low fees and fast confirmations.
What Is KAS Used For?
KAS is used for payments, transfers and as a store of value by people who prefer a fast proof-of-work network.

Why Kaspa Gets Attention
Kaspa solves a long-standing proof-of-work problem: fast blocks usually create orphaned blocks and wasted work. Its blockDAG lets parallel blocks coexist and orders them afterwards, so it can confirm transactions in about a second while staying proof of work.
It had a fair launch with no premine or investor allocation, and its emission falls a little every month toward a cap of about 28.7 billion KAS.
Where to Store KAS

Before You Swap KAS: Mistakes to Avoid
