The Kaspa cryptocurrency is set to launch in a unique experimental mode, known as gamenet. This mode is designed for research and testing, and will serve as a platform for simulating real-world attacks and manipulations in the cryptoeconomics field. The gamenet mode will encourage strategic mining and reward-based attacks, while also allowing for the testing of solutions to common exploits.
Kaspa will initially be CPU/GPU-mineable and its token supply will be deliberately uncertain to attract hardcore communities and individuals. The platform will have low hashrate and security in its early stages, but as the community grows, a solid monetary policy will be introduced to regulate supply and allow for exchange trading.
The Kaspa team is seeking community engagement and support for further development, including the implementation of a bridge from Ethereum to simulate MEV activity. Individuals interested in contributing to the project may reach out for potential funding.
The Kaspa launch is planned for the end of October, with full gamenet activity to be determined. The block reward system will incorporate randomness to incentivize strategic mining and forking, with a formal description and requirements outlined in the proposal.
Overall, Kaspa aims to become a center for research and development in the cryptoeconomic field, providing valuable insights into real-world dynamics and solutions to common exploits. The post “Kaspa launch plan (proposal) Pt-1” provides more details on the plan and can be found on the Kaspa website.
