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.
