What is Kaspa
Unlike traditional blockchains that discard competing blocks as orphans, Kaspa incorporates all mined blocks into a DAG. The consensus layer orders them into a canonical sequence, preserving Bitcoin's security model while achieving throughput impossible on a linear chain.
BlockDAG
All mined blocks are incorporated — no orphans, no wasted PoW. Miners work in parallel, contributing to security simultaneously.
GHOSTDAG
A scalable generalization of Nakamoto Consensus. Same 51% Byzantine fault tolerance, but without the throughput ceiling of linear chains.
Fair Launch
November 2021. Zero pre-mine, zero pre-sale, zero VC allocations. Fully community-maintained with no central authority.
Hard Money
28.7B max supply with chromatic halvings — smooth monthly emission decay. Fixed monetary policy secured by ASIC PoW.
