Kaspa

Kaspa (KAS)

Kaspa is a Proof of Work blockchain that uses the GHOSTDAG protocol and blockDAG architecture for fast block times and high throughput. It aims to be a scalable, decentralized payment network that improves on Bitcoin’s throughput limitations while maintaining PoW security and decentralization.

Unlike traditional blockchains, Kaspa’s blockDAG allows parallel block confirmations, achieving block times of about one second. The network has gained traction among miners and investors seeking a next-generation PoW alternative. A major hard fork scheduled for May 2026 will introduce programmable smart contracts (KRC-20), positioning Kaspa for DeFi adoption.
