Kaspa

Introduction

The is a high-performance, proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrency designed for scalability and fast transaction processing. It utilizes a unique data structure called a blockDAG (Directed Acyclic Graph), which allows multiple blocks to be created and processed in parallel rather than a traditional linear chain. This architecture makes Kaspa capable of handling high transaction throughput while maintaining robust security.

Key features of Kaspa include:

  • Fast Block Times: Blocks are generated every second, enabling rapid transaction confirmation.

  • Scalability: The blockDAG structure improves scalability compared to traditional blockchains.

  • Decentralization: Maintains a high level of decentralization through PoW consensus.

  • Fair Launch: No premine or ICO; it was launched fairly through mining.

Kaspa is designed to provide an efficient, decentralized solution for payments and value transfer while addressing the scalability issues faced by many first-generation blockchains.

How to Interact

  1. Test the query as follow:

echo '{"id": "1", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "getBlockDagInfoRequest", "params": {}}' | \
websocat -H="apikey: {apikey}" wss://ws-mainnet-kaspa-fullnode.forbole.com

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. Command not found

    • Verify the binary is in your system PATH

    • Try running with full path to the executable

  2. Permission denied

    • Ensure the binary is executable (chmod +x on Unix-like systems)

    • Try running with elevated privileges for system directories

  3. Cargo installation fails

    • Ensure Rust is properly installed

    • Update Rust: rustup update

  4. Connection issues with Kaspa nodes

    • When connecting to Kaspa nodes, you may need to use the borsh protocol for proper message serialization

    • Ensure your client implementation supports borsh serialization/deserialization

    • If using custom clients, implement borsh protocol handling for Kaspa-specific message formats
