Start with the mental model

One chain waits.
A DAG keeps moving.

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.

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.

A network of agreement

Blocks reference multiple parents. GHOSTDAG classifies and orders them, preserving proof-of-work security while allowing rapid block creation.

01
Plain-English takeaway

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

Not a roadmap promise.
A live network.

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.

Question 1 of 4

Primary sources first

Keep exploring.

Every technical claim should lead somewhere verifiable. These are the best doors into the network.

The non-negotiable rule

No legitimate helper needs your recovery phrase.

Never paste seed words into a website, support chat, message, or “sync” tool. Verify wallet downloads at their original source and send a small test amount first.
