Chain vs. DAG
Scroll to watch two ledgers grow side by side.
- In a classic chain, one block wins per time slot. Parallel blocks are discarded as orphans — grey on the left.
- BlockDAG keeps them. GHOSTDAG orders parallel blocks, so they stay in the ledger instead of being thrown away.
- Since the Crescendo upgrade (May 2025), Kaspa runs at 10 blocks per second.

The basics, short
Proof-of-Work and BlockDAG
Kaspa uses proof-of-work. Its BlockDAG lets parallel blocks coexist, and GHOSTDAG orders them.
Fair launch
Fair launch in November 2021. No pre-mine.
Supply
Maximum about 28.7 billion KAS. Block rewards shrink monthly and halve over one year.
Mining
Mining uses kHeavyHash. Today it is done with ASICs.
