The success of the Kaspa project can be attributed to the hard work and dedication of its founding contributors. The core team behind Kaspa includes Yonatan Sompolinsky, who co-founded DAGLabs and played a crucial role in Kaspa’s creation, Michael Sutton, a skilled distributed systems researcher and developer, Shai Wyborski, a Ph.D. candidate in classical and quantum cryptography, Elichai Turkel, an applied cryptographer and high-performance systems developer, Ori Newman and Mike Zak, both cryptocurrency and distributed systems developers.
Kaspa is unique in that it operates without a central authority or foundation, relying instead on an extensive community of developers, researchers, and enthusiasts to drive decision-making. This decentralized approach aligns with the principles of a truly decentralized network.
The project received initial funding from Polychain Capital and has made a commitment to transparency and fairness by forgoing allocations or premine. The community developers play a significant role in the success of Kaspa, offering new feature suggestions, fixing technical errors, integrating platforms, and promoting the network through education and informative materials.
The collective expertise and commitment of both core and community developers have created a culture of cooperation, allowing Kaspa to dynamically respond and grow in the rapidly evolving crypto sphere. Their unwavering dedication is essential for turning the project’s vision into reality and ensuring its sustained success.
Kaspa’s online presence includes a wiki, Medium articles, Teletype posts, Discord server, Telegram channel, Twitter account, Reddit community, GitHub repository, and an Explorer for tracking transactions. The project continues to move forward thanks to the incredible efforts of its community developers.
