A single-file line
When honest miners find blocks at nearly the same time, only one branch usually survives. Higher block rates can increase this wasted work.

The guided way to understand a live 10 BPS proof-of-work blockDAG—without the hype, hand-waving, or hundred-tab rabbit hole.

Start with the mental model
Most explanations make Kaspa sound harder than it is. Start with the one design choice that changes everything: useful parallel blocks are merged instead of routinely discarded.
When honest miners find blocks at nearly the same time, only one branch usually survives. Higher block rates can increase this wasted work.
Blocks reference multiple parents. GHOSTDAG classifies and orders them, preserving proof-of-work security while allowing rapid block creation.
Kaspa does not make mining easier or skip consensus. It changes how proof-of-work blocks are structured and ordered.

Since Crescendo · May 5, 2025
Kaspa’s mainnet moved from 1 to 10 blocks per second at the Crescendo hard fork. That is a target interval of roughly 100 milliseconds per block.
