Bitcoin-Inspired Altcoin Project Skyrockets 115% This Month Amid Series of Updates
An altcoin project inspired by Bitcoin’s (BTC) ethos is blowing up this month as its ecosystem undergoes a major series of updates.
The 199th-ranked crypto by market cap Kaspa (KAS) is worth $0.0121 at time of writing, up 23% in the last 24 hours, 58% in the last week, 86% in the last two weeks, and 115% in the last 30 days.
According to the altcoin project’s website:
“Kaspa is the fastest and most scalable instant confirmation transaction layer ever built on a proof-of-work engine. Transactions sent to miners can be included immediately in the ledger, which is structured as a revolutionary blockDAG.
BlockDAG is Kaspa’s version of the GhostDAG/PHANTOM protocol, and aims to deliver high block creation and transaction speed without the loss of security and decentralization that many higher-speed chains suffer from.
Says Kaspa,
“Its design is faithful to the principles Satoshi embedded into Bitcoin — proof-of-work mining, UTXO [unspent transaction output]-formed isolated state, deflationary monetary policy, no pre-mine, and no central governance. Kaspa is unique in its ability to support high block rates while maintaining the level of security offered by the most secure proof-of-work environments.”
Kaspa currently has a crowdfunding campaign to get KAS onto a top 10 crypto exchange by trading volume.

Over 1/4 of the way there! ?? Let’s finalize this before the deadline of March 4th.

Last week, the project also announced they are in the development stages of several new hardware wallets.
