BlockDAG vs. Blockchain
A comparative article explaining the difference between Kaspa's blockDAG architecture and a traditional blockchain. It will illustrate the scalability vs. security trade-off in regular blockchains.
GHOSTDAG Consensus Protocol
An in-depth yet accessible explanation of Kaspa's core consensus mechanism. This article describes how GHOSTDAG works: unlike regular blockchains, Kaspa's protocol does not orphan parallel blocks but allows them to all be incorporated into the ledger, achieving consensus through the blockDAG structure.
kHeavyHash Proof-of-Work Algorithm
Complete guide to Kaspa's kHeavyHash proof-of-work algorithm. Learn about its design, how it differs from Bitcoin's SHA-256, GPU/FPGA friendliness, ASIC resistance, energy efficiency, and how it maintains mining decentralization.
Security and Fast Confirmations
An article describing how Kaspa maintains security despite its fast block times. It will reassure readers that Kaspa's rapid 1-second blocks and 10-second confirmation finality do not compromise security.
Kaspa vs Other Projects
A comparative overview placing Kaspa in context with other cryptocurrencies and DAG projects. This article compares Kaspa's approach to scalability with Bitcoin, Solana, IOTA, Kadena, and other projects, highlighting Kaspa's unique advantages.
