Kaspa Education has recently tackled the issue of double spending in the digital currency world. Double spending is when the same digital currency is used in more than one transaction, a problem that can undermine the integrity of the entire system.
Traditional digital currencies process transactions one by one, but newer systems like Kaspa use parallel processing for speed. However, this can increase the risk of double spending, as two transactions using the same digital coin could be approved at the same time.
Kaspa’s answer to this challenge is the GHOSTDAG protocol and the Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model. These technologies ensure that each digital coin is only used once, even when transactions are processed simultaneously. GHOSTDAG creates a universal order for transactions, while UTXOs ensure that users can’t spend the same output more than once.
By combining these two methods, Kaspa offers a secure solution to prevent double spending. This innovative approach may pave the way for greater trust and acceptance of digital currencies.
