The Kaspa network reached its fifth year of operation on November 7, having launched in 2021. The proof-of-work blockchain has processed 2.443 billion transactions across 587 million blocks and registered 569,000 wallet addresses since going live. The project had no premine or insider sales at launch.
Kaspa uses a blockDAG architecture with a GHOSTDAG consensus mechanism that processes parallel blocks rather than discarding them. Following a May 2025 hard fork called Crescendo, the network now produces ten blocks per second, up from one at launch. Recent activity includes a November block reward reduction to 1.945 KAS and development of a native stablecoin oracle system.
