Kaspa continues to captivate the blockchain sphere with its interesting nature as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based proof-of-work (PoW) platform. Emerging onto the scene precisely when the blockchain realm was searching for an Ethereum (ETH) alternative, Kaspaโs protocol arrived as a timely solution. This came after Ethereumโs transition from proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake (PoS) framework the previous year.
A DAG-based PoW is a variation of the traditional proof-of-work consensus mechanism used in blockchain systems. In a typical blockchain PoW system, miners compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles in order to add new blocks to the blockchain. This process requires significant computational power and energy consumption.
The native coin of the Kaspa ecosystem, KAS, has recently generated significant attention. Its performance has been notably impressive, even in a challenging bear market.
Currently priced at $0.04792611, according toย CoinGecko data, KAS has exhibited a 17.3% surge in the last 24 hours. Over the past seven days, KAS has demonstrated an impressive climb of 23.3%.

The crowdfund, which reached its conclusion on Aug. 2, aimed to amass a substantial sum of $30,000, drawing contributions in USDT and KAS tokens.
Insights into this crowdfund achievement, provided through an update via reliable sources, promise to be unveiled shortly. The anticipation surrounding these forthcoming details suggests a direct correlation between this significant milestone and the recent surge in KASโs valuation.ย
An astuteย Twitter user even pointed outย an intriguing phenomenon: many traders appear to be divesting their Bitcoin holdings to acquire KAS tokens.
Folks are literally selling $BTC to buy $KAS. Mission achieved.

Diverse Investor Engagement Fuels Kaspaโs Rise
Aย July Medium blog postย by Kaspa shines a light on the purposeful allocation of funds raised through this ambitious campaign. The primary objective of the amassed funds is to fulfill the listing fee requirements established by a centralized exchange (CEX) set to list the KAS token. The CEX will judiciously utilize this substantial capital to orchestrate an extensive and impactful advertising campaign.

While the loyal native community has undeniably been a cornerstone of Kaspaโs growth, the entry of investors from diverse protocols, including Ethereum, has significantly fortified the projectโs standing on a broader spectrum. As noted in a recentย report, this influx of interest has magnified Kaspaโs allure, establishing it as an attractive proposition for a wider audience.
In a distinct departure from its competitors, Kaspa has distinguished itself through its remarkable capacity to process an impressive 100 blocks per second. This exceptional throughput rate introduces a level of efficiency that renders it exceptionally suited for enterprise adoption. This technical prowess demonstrates Kaspaโs commitment to scalability and opens doors to a myriad of real-world applications.
