Built to scale beyond blocks
Fast. Secure.
Decentralized.
Kaspa is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain based on Proof of Work.
It stays truly decentralized while processing many blocks in parallel.

What Makes Kaspa Different
BlockDAG, Not a Blockchain
Kaspa is a Proof-of-Work Layer 1 blockchain implementing the GHOSTDAG consensus protocol. Unlike traditional blockchains, GHOSTDAG does not discard blocks created in parallel. Instead, all blocks coexist and are ordered within consensus, forming a BlockDAG.

Kaspa at a Glance
Kaspa is a community project – completely open source with no central governance – following in the ethos of coins like Bitcoin. The coin was fair-launched without pre-mining or any other pre-allocation of coins.

Kaspa Features
Built to scale without compromise
Fast transactions
Kaspa generates multiple blocks every second. Fully confirmed transactions arrive in about 10 seconds, making it practical for everyday payments.
Instant visibility
Transactions propagate across the network in about one second, providing near-instant feedback before full confirmation.
Massive scalability
By processing blocks in parallel, Kaspa scales without sacrificing decentralization or security, unlike many Proof-of-Stake systems.
Efficient Proof of Work
Kaspa uses the kHeavyHash algorithm optimized for high throughput and zero wasted blocks, reducing energy cost per transaction.
Strong security
Pure Proof of Work combined with the GHOSTDAG consensus delivers strong security without relying on stake or central validators.
BlockDAG architecture
Instead of discarding blocks, Kaspa links them all together into a BlockDAG, unlocking parallelism and dramatic performance gains.
