About KAS
Kaspa (KAS) is a high-throughput, scalable proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain that aims to deliver fast transaction speeds without sacrificing decentralization or security. Built on the GhostDAG protocol, Kaspa processes multiple blocks simultaneously, rather than sequentially, which allows it to achieve high transaction throughput while maintaining a secure, decentralized network. With its unique blockDAG structure, Kaspa is optimized for real-time transactions, offering users and developers a solid foundation for decentralized applications and peer-to-peer transfers. Kaspa is designed with miner-friendly PoW, accessible without specialized hardware, and a fair launch with no pre-mining or venture capital funding.
