About Kaspa
Kaspa (KAS) is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency that implements the GHOSTDAG protocol — a revolutionary blockDAG technology that allows multiple blocks to coexist in parallel, achieving confirmation speeds of roughly one block per second while maintaining full PoW security. Unlike traditional blockchains where parallel blocks are orphaned, Kaspa's GHOSTDAG orders them all, dramatically increasing throughput without sacrificing decentralization. Kaspa launched fairly with no pre-mine, ICO, or VC funding in 2021, attracting a passionate community drawn to its technical innovation and commitment to Nakamoto-style consensus.
Before you swap KAS: what to check
- •Receiving address format: kaspa:… (Kaspa address). Custodial services may show a Public key — enter it in the form; self-custody wallets don't need one.
- •Network: Kaspa. KAS exists on one network here; make sure your wallet sends on it.
- •Deposit confirmations: 10 on Kaspa (block time ~1 second). The rate is locked when the deposit confirms, not when you broadcast.
- •Limits: minimum and maximum are shown in the form for each pair and change with fees and liquidity.
- •Tracking: the status page shows each stage; deposits and payouts can be checked on explorer.kaspa.org.
