What makes Kaspa different from Bitcoin?

Kaspa uses the GHOSTDAG blockDAG protocol instead of a traditional blockchain, allowing parallel blocks at roughly 1 block per second while maintaining full proof-of-work security — far faster than Bitcoin's 10-minute blocks.

Can I swap Kaspa without KYC on SyntheticSwap?

Yes. SyntheticSwap is fully non-custodial and requires no registration, email, or identity verification to swap KAS.

No. Kaspa had a completely fair launch with zero pre-mine, no ICO, and no allocation to investors or the team.

What wallet should I use for KAS?

The official Kaspa Web Wallet at wallet.kaspa.org is the easiest option. KDX Desktop Wallet offers more features for power users.

Is Kaspa a good store of value?

Kaspa uses a declining emission schedule similar to Bitcoin, with block rewards halving roughly every year, creating scarcity over time. Its PoW security model makes it resistant to censorship and control.

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.
