Kaspa (KAS): A High-Speed Blockchain Powered by BlockDAG
Kaspa is a Layer 1 blockchain designed to achieve fast transaction confirmations without sacrificing decentralization or security. Unlike traditional blockchains that produce one block at a time, Kaspa uses a unique BlockDAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) architecture that allows multiple blocks to be created and confirmed simultaneously.
