Kaspa guide

What is Kaspa?

Kaspa is a live Proof of Work blockDAG network. It keeps Bitcoin-style mining and UTXO ownership, and uses GHOSTDAG to order parallel blocks into one payment history.

This site tracks what Kaspa does today, what upgrades are being worked on, and which public claims need checking.

BlockDAG model

Compare the chain and the graph.

A simplified model of one selected chain versus a graph that can include parallel blocks before ordering them.

Network readout

Current network snapshot.

Live API readout for orientation. Use a node, explorer, source, or proof path for stronger verification.

If the live readout stalls, treat the cards below as temporarily unavailable and use Status and Sources for durable claims.

Status

Live, testnet, roadmap, research.

Check whether the claim is live mainnet, testnet evidence, roadmap, or research before repeating it.

Build path

What can be built now?

Money movement is live. Receipts and source-verifiable reads can be built today. Covenant rules and richer proof-based apps need more activation evidence.

Now Move and inspect money

Wallets, payments, receipts, exchange flows, mining/node visibility, and better confirmation-risk UX.

Now Verify receipts

Apps can show txid, amount, address, accepted status, source, timestamp, and fallback verification links.

Toccata work Enforce spending rules

Vault limits, delays, escrow, assurance contracts, asset rules, and bounded UTXO state machines need activation evidence.

Later Prove richer app logic

Markets, lending, funding rules, attestations, and shared commitments need stronger app-state, custody, oracle, and proof paths.

Transaction path

Wallet to confirmation.

A transaction is created, broadcast, mined, ordered, then gains confirmation confidence.

1Create

Wallet prepares inputs, outputs, amount, and fee.

2Broadcast

The transaction reaches nodes and miners.

3Mine

A miner includes it in a proof-of-work block.

4Order

The block joins the DAG and GHOSTDAG orders history.

5Confirm

Confidence increases. It is fast, not instantly irreversible.
