KAS (Kaspa) Mining Tutorial

Created:2024-03-12    Updated:2024-03-15

What is KAS?

Kaspa is a decentralized and fully scalable Layer-1 based on the GHOSTDAG protocol. Unlike traditional blockchains, GHOSTDAG does not orphan blocks created in parallel; instead, it allows them to coexist and orders them in consensus. The Kaspa blockchain is, in fact, a blockDAG.

  • KAS block explorer: Kaspa Explorer
  • Algorithm: kHeavyHash
  • Supply: 28,700,000,000 KAS

Mining device

KAS can be efficiently mined with ASIC miners, e.g, KA BOX.

Preparation Before Mining

Register a wallet before starting mining KAS.

Download KAS wallet - Resources - Kaspa (exchange address may also be used as your withdrawal address but be careful with the minimum deposit amount of the exchange you are using to avoid any potential risk of losing your funds).

Check the miner, network, and electricity situation.

Configure Your Mining Device

Your miner must be connected to the DxPool server listed below for your hashrate and revenue to be recorded and monitored.

You’ll need to enter the following information in your mining device:

Pool/URL:kas.ss.dxpool.com:5566

User/Worker:KAS_wallet_address.worker_name (recommended)

Password: (Your choice) 

Please note

Worker name is optional, but we recommend connecting each mining device with a separate worker name for efficient monitoring.
