A Proof-of-Work UTXO blockDAG network for lower-latency shared state.
Kaspa in one screen
Proof of Work redesigned around parallel blocks.
Kaspa keeps mined security culture and a UTXO model, then uses a blockDAG and GHOSTDAG so honest blocks found in parallel can be included and ordered instead of treated as ordinary wasted side branches.
The artifact
The shortest serious version.
PoW mining, UTXO model, blockDAG structure, GHOSTDAG ordering, and the Crescendo-era 10 BPS network.
It tests whether Bitcoin-style PoW settlement can feel closer to real time without becoming a normal centralized fast database.
Toccata, vProgs, native DeFi, DAGKnight, 100 BPS, TangVM, and RTD-derived oracle or attestation flows should not be treated as shipped mainnet functionality.
Durable users, healthy mining, realistic node operation, liquidity, fees, wallets, developer tools, useful post-Toccata apps, and careful roadmap execution.
Overclaiming roadmap work, weak adoption, poor liquidity, mining or infrastructure concentration, unclear security budget, or app-layer promises outrunning shipped software.
Mental shortcut
The narrative spine.
Bitcoin-style Proof-of-Work security culture, seconds-scale user feel, blockDAG ordering, and future verification-oriented apps.
That is the compact public narrative. The important caveat is that the last part is future-facing and must stay status-labeled.
Do not confuse
Short claims that stay honest.
| Say this | Not this |
|---|---|
| Kaspa is a live PoW blockDAG using GHOSTDAG. | Kaspa has already shipped every roadmap item. |
| Kaspa improves PoW inclusion and confirmation dynamics. | Kaspa removes all finality delay or has unlimited throughput. |
| Kaspa has a future verification-oriented app roadmap. | Native DeFi and mature smart contracts are live today. |
| Kaspa is worth studying as a fast-PoW design. | Kaspa's technology alone proves valuation or adoption. |
