1. What is Kaspa?
Kaspa is a fast Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrency that uses a blockDAG instead of a traditional blockchain.
2. What makes Kaspa different from Bitcoin?
Bitcoin adds one block at a time; Kaspa can add many blocks in parallel, making it much faster.
3. What is a blockDAG?
A Directed Acyclic Graph of blocks — like a blockchain but with multiple blocks created at once.
4. What is GHOSTDAG?
Kaspa’s consensus algorithm that accepts parallel blocks and orders them without discarding them.
5. Is Kaspa Proof-of-Work?
Yes. Kaspa is 100% PoW — no staking, no validators.
6. How fast is Kaspa?
Kaspa creates blocks every second and confirms transactions within a few seconds.
7. What is the max supply of Kaspa?
Approximately 28.7 billion KAS.
8. How does Kaspa handle block rewards?
Kaspa uses monthly micro-halvings, gradually reducing the emission over time.
9. Does Kaspa have smart contracts?
Not yet — but future plans include support for more advanced features.
10. What wallets support Kaspa?
Kaspa mobile wallet, Kaspa desktop wallet, Kaspa web wallet, and certain hardware wallets like Ledger (via integrations).
11. How do I create a Kaspa wallet?
Download a Kaspa wallet app, choose Create Wallet, write down your seed phrase, and you’re set.
12. What is a seed phrase?
A list of 12–24 words that unlock your wallet. If you lose it, you lose access forever.
13. Is Kaspa decentralized?
Yes. Anyone can run a node or mine KAS; there is no central authority.
14. Is Kaspa energy-efficient?
Kaspa uses PoW, but its fast propagation and blockDAG structure reduce wasted energy (lower orphan rate).
15. What is a blue block?
A block that fits neatly into Kaspa’s main structure — used to determine final ordering.
16. What is a red block?
A valid block that arrived slightly late. Still included, but not part of the main ordering.
17. What is blue score?
A number showing how “deep” a block is in the main DAG — like chain height in Bitcoin.
18. What is Kaspa’s orphan rate?
Extremely low. Kaspa rarely discards blocks because the DAG accepts nearly all of them.
19. How do I send Kaspa?
Open your wallet, choose Send, enter the recipient’s address, amount, and confirm.
20. How do I receive Kaspa?
Copy your wallet’s KAS address and share it with the sender.
21. Can I mine Kaspa?
Yes — Kaspa is mined using GPUs and some specialized hardware.
22. Is Kaspa a good long-term project?
Kaspa’s technology is advanced and innovative, but like all crypto, it carries market risks.
23. How fast does Kaspa finalize transactions?
Usually within a few seconds, thanks to the blockDAG.
24. What is Kaspa’s main use case?
Fast, decentralized digital payments secured by Proof-of-Work.
25. Where can I buy Kaspa?
Kaspa is listed on many major exchanges; simply deposit funds and trade for KAS.
