Kusama is a “sister chain” or parallel network for the Polkadot, a largest cross-chain ecosystem in Web3. The idea of this blockchain was proposed by Polkadot founder and former Ethereum CTO Dr. Gavin Wood.
The network supports Polkadot-like smart contracts; as such, it can host all types of decentralized applications including DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, on-chain wallets, crypto games, etc.
The blockchain is developed with Polkadot’s framework Substrate. Compared to the main blockchain, its nodes on-board dApps faster, which makes the process of crypto apps development more streamlined.
Kusama’s mission is to allow Polkadot-centric developers to stress-test their protocols before rolling them out in Polkadot’s mainnet. At the same time, it is a separate blockchain, not testnet: native KSM tokens can’t be obtained via faucets and have their own economical value.
Initially, the network started as Proof-of-Authority (PoA) blockchain. In October, 2019, it migrated to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus to become a reliable testing environment for Polkadot-based dApps.
As long as you work with GetBlock’s KSM nodes, you don’t need to spend resources on servers, DevOps teams and so on: we offer ready-made blockchain nodes solutions that can be activated in minutes.
Our users can customize their KSM RPC nodes endpoints regardless of their previous experience with GetBlock’s intuitive interface and premium-level customer support.
