Cryptocurrency was built on the idea that people should not have to blindly trust a central authority. Instead, networks can use transparent rules, cryptography, and distributed consensus to let participants independently verify what is happening. Open-source software is a natural extension of that philosophy.

Blockchain is often described as a decentralized technology, but not every blockchain is decentralized to the same degree. Some networks are highly distributed across thousands of participants worldwide, while others rely on a relatively small number of organizations to validate transactions and make decisions.

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.
