Description
Kusama, launched in 2019, is a scalable and highly interoperable multichain network designed for radical innovation and early-stage Polkadot deployments. As Polkadot's canary network, it serves as a testbed for developers to experiment with new blockchains or dApps under real economic conditions. The platform supports cutting-edge blockchain innovations like parachains, parathreads, and bridges, enhancing cross-network interoperability. Kusama uses a unique governance model with on-chain voting, offering a decentralized and dynamic management system that prioritizes speed and flexibility over Polkadot. The native token, KSM, is pivotal for governance, staking, and transactions, following a Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus mechanism. Kusama has a current supply of 15,376,504.43268713 KSM, a trading volume of $13,446,838.97, and is priced at approximately 21.78 USD, with active trading in 234 markets. This sandbox environment is essential for exploring and adopting new blockchain technologies in the web3 space.
