Independent explainer
Kaspa, explained.
Kaspa is proof-of-workMiners spend real computing work to make blocks., the same mechanism as Bitcoin, but its miners don't compete for one slot in one chain. Every miner who finds a valid block keeps it, and GHOSTDAGKaspa's live rule for ordering the blockDAG so parallel work counts. orders every honest block those miners produce into one history the whole network agrees on. Drag the slider below and watch what a single chain throws away that a blockDAG keeps.
Watch a blockDAG keep what a chain would drop
Modeled with network delay fixed at 250 ms, inside a live-data bracket, not a direct Kaspa measurement of propagation. Walking 1,399 consecutive selected-parent chain blocks through api.kaspa.org (10,719 blocks, 24 August 2026) found a single-chain-equivalent delay between roughly 204 ms and 666 ms; 250 ms sits inside that bracket. The full demo's slider tops out at 5 s, rusty-kaspa's own one-way NETWORK_DELAY_BOUND worst case, a protocol constant, not a typical delay. The share is a running sample that drifts toward the modeled figure as more blocks accumulate, not a fixed reading.
Both panels run at the rate above. Single chain is a model of what a longest-chain rule would lose at that rate, not Bitcoin today. Losing that fight also makes a single chain less secure as the rate climbs.
