What is Kaspa mining?

Kaspa mining is based on kHeavyHash, a modified form of the “optical-miner” ready HeavyHash algorithm. kHeavyhash utilizes matrix multiplication that is framed into 2 keccacs. kHeavyHash is energy efficient, core dominant and can be successfully mined by GPU, FPGAs and future specialized mining equipment.

Is Kaspa a proof-of-work coin?

Kaspa is currently the fastest proof-of-work, mineable coin in existence while still remaining decentralized. The blockDAG architecture with rapid block rates allows more mining decentralization and enables effective solo-mining at lower hashrates.

Where can I buy Kaspa currency?

By integrating Topper, Uphold’s fiat-to-crypto onramp on the Kaspa.org site, the Kaspa community is now able to buy $KAS, the native currency of the network, on the site! Want to explore a Web3 onramp solution?

Does Kaspa use ASIC?

Furthermore, Kaspa employs a custom-built mining algorithm called KHeavyhash, which is designed for GPU mining, allowing for dual mining of Kaspa and other cryptocurrencies relying on memory-intensive mining algorithms. However, the recent introduction of ASIC devices in the network could impact the mining landscape and centralization risks.
