Kaspa is a Proof of Work network built on a BlockDAG, a structure that allows several blocks to be produced in parallel. Since 2025, it has produced 10 blocks per second, making it one of the fastest PoW networks.
Kaspa network parameters
| Parameter | Value |
| Algorithm | kHeavyHash |
| Structure | BlockDAG (GHOSTDAG protocol) |
| Blocks | 10 per second |
| Emission | Gradually reduced every month |
| Maximum supply | About 28.7 billion KAS |
How the reward changes
Instead of halvings every few years, Kaspa lowers its reward a little every month, so it halves roughly once a year. That's why it's worth rechecking profitability often in the pool calculator.
What hardware you need
A kHeavyHash ASIC. GPU mining is no longer competitive on Kaspa. If you're looking for other coins with dedicated ASICs, EMCD also runs pools for Zcash and Ethereum Classic.
Why mine Kaspa with EMCD
- Fees from 1.5% and daily payouts.
- Dashboard with hashrate, miner status, and rewards.
- Watcher links and API.
- 24/7 support.
The payout model and minimum payout are listed in the table on this page.
Mining Kaspa efficiently
Because Kaspa's emission falls a little every month, the reward per unit of hashrate declines steadily even when network difficulty stays flat. Energy efficiency is therefore the key factor in Kaspa mining, and new ASIC generations appear quickly. When choosing hardware, compare not just hashrate but also power consumption per terahash.
With 10 blocks per second, Kaspa miners submit shares very frequently, so a stable, low-latency connection to the pool matters. Use the server closest to your location and monitor rejected shares in your dashboard. GPU mining is no longer profitable on Kaspa: the network is dominated by kHeavyHash ASICs.
