KAS — Kaspa
Digital money modeled on Bitcoin, but with much faster confirmations.
What it is for
- Set out to
- A proof-of-work payment network with a parallel block structure and ten blocks per second.
- Today in addition
- Smart contracts through separate layer-2 networks.
- Notable
- GHOSTDAG consensus, which orders competing blocks instead of discarding them; a launch without a premine.
- Strength
- A narrow base layer limited to payments.
- Weakness
- Applications sit outside the base chain.
Contract address
Kaspa — its own chain, no contract.
The asset is the currency of its own chain and does not sit as a token on someone else’s. An empty field here would stand for a missing figure — but nothing is missing.

Where the price stands today between its two endpoints — logarithmic, because orders of magnitude lie in between.
The four cycles
Measured on daily closing prices, never on daily highs or lows. The cycle boundaries are Bitcoin’s own highest and lowest daily closes: January 14, 2015, December 16, 2017, December 15, 2018, November 8, 2021, November 21, 2022, October 6, 2025 and the current low on June 30, 2026. A day counts only if at least ten thousand dollars were traded on it. The price against Bitcoin is given in satoshi — one satoshi is one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.

Finding
Gas required and priced in units, but around $80 a day
Investors and partners: Fair launch — no presale, no capital backers disclosed — awards no points, because projects with large backers did not perform better.
Nexo: Carried by Nexo — purchase page documented on September 1, 2026.
No investment advice, no price forecast, no buy or sell recommendation. A high score does not mean “will rise”. It means the asset scores better on these questions than the others.
