Kaspa Statistics 2026: Supply, Hashrate and Network Data

Kaspa has mined 27,681,518,554 KAS of a maximum of 28,704,035,605 KAS, according to the network’s official REST API, leaving roughly 3.6% of the coin still unissued. Those Kaspa statistics come from the project’s own endpoint rather than a third-party tracker. The network settles blocks at 10 blocks per second, a rate set by the Crescendo hardfork when it cut the target time per block from 1,000 milliseconds to 100, and pays 2.18267645 KAS per block on a schedule that steps down every month.

The Kaspa statistics below come from live reads of the Kaspa project’s own API, its improvement-proposal repository, and its node documentation on September 4, 2026, alongside market data for the same day. Where the project publishes more than one official number, both appear.

Key Takeaways

• Kaspa has issued 27,681,518,554 KAS of the maximum supply, according to its own API reports, or 96.4% of the cap.
• Three official maximum-supply figures circulate, and the two precise ones differ by 9,004 KAS.
• Block reward falls 5.61% every chromatic month, with the next step due October 5, 2026.
• Crescendo raised block production from 1 to 10 per second while keeping the emission schedule precisely intact by transferring the reward per block to a reward per second of equal value.
• Toccata lifted the minimum fee rate from 1 sompi per gram to 100 sompi per gram, a 100x increase.
• CoinGecko tracks KAS on 38 spot venues, and that list excludes Coinbase, Binance, OKX, Upbit, and Bithumb.
• Igra and Kasplex together hold $1,339,802 in total value locked.

About This Data

Figures come from 37 primary-tier entries plus 2 market-data endpoints, published between January 2025 and September 2026: the Kaspa REST API and its OpenAPI schema, the Kaspa project wiki, the Kaspa Improvement Proposals repository, the rusty-kaspa node documentation, the GitHub REST API and the Bitcoin project FAQ, with market and TVL readings from CoinGecko and DefiLlama. Only official project surfaces and documented public APIs qualified. Figures are updated when the underlying sources publish new readings.

The wiki names four causes for the spread: a random-reward subphase during the first two weeks of mainnet, DAA-score rounding that differs node by node, parallel-block antichains bounded by the 2,641-block DAA window, and DAA-score jumps at reward-phase boundaries. The two precise figures differ by 9,004 KAS, which is a rounding artefact at the scale of a network this size, and considerably more transparency than most mid-cap ledgers offer about their own supply accounting.

Worth noting: The Kaspa wiki states plainly that total emission “is guaranteed to never reach 29 billion” and gives 28,704,026,601 KAS as the most accurate value available for evaluation, over a period of 36 years from the November 7, 2021 mainnet start. The API’s 28,704,035,605 is the consensus-derived figure. Both are official.

Kaspa Emission and Block Reward Statistics

• Current reward is 2.18267645 KAS per block, a unit the API’s own schema defines as KAS per block.
• The next chromatic step lands on October 5, 2026 at 03:26:30 UTC, cutting the reward to 2.06017223 KAS.
• The chromatic phase opened on May 8, 2022, with an initial reward of 440 KAS.
• Each month multiplies the reward by (1/2)^(1/12), so the annual result is a smooth halving.
• Kaspa’s monetary policy fixes coins minted per second, not per block.
• Emission reached about 53.3% of maximum supply by January 1, 2023.
• The wiki projects about 95% of all KAS mined by July 10, 2026.
• Reward falls below one sompi about 36 years after the mainnet start, an estimate the wiki states holds while the network stays at 1 block per second.

Source: Kaspa REST API, September 4, 2026

The ratio between consecutive rewards is 0.94387, which reproduces the twelfth root of one half to five decimal places. That is the practical value of publishing the schedule as code rather than as a marketing chart: anyone can check next month’s issuance against this month’s without trusting a foundation to report it accurately.

KIP-14 kept the schedule intact through that change by transferring the reward per block to a reward per second of equal value, then dividing by blocks per second to get the per-block figure.

Recent Developments

• June 30, 2026: the Toccata hard fork activated on mainnet at DAA score 474,165,565, timed for 16:15 UTC.
• June 15, 2026: the rusty-kaspa team published v2.0.1, the Mainnet Toccata Release, adding RPC support for Toccata sequence-commit state and lane proofs.
• June 17, 2026: Igra, the newer of the two Kaspa Layer 2 networks, peaked at $2,279,195 in total value locked.
• June 2026: Toccata raised the minimum fee rate from 1 sompi per gram to 100 sompi per gram, a node policy rather than a consensus rule.
• September 4, 2026: The reference node serving the public API reported software version 2.0.1, a synced state, and an empty mempool.

Kaspa Network Performance Statistics

• The DAG held 23,930,398 blocks at the time of measurement.
• Network difficulty stood at 16.4139757628314 quadrillion.
• Virtual DAA score reached 531,290,817 against a selected-chain blue score of 529,356,653.
• The virtual view carried 8 parallel DAG tips, a structural feature that separates a blockDAG from a single chain.
• The reported hashrate was 327,955.78 TH/s, a unit the API schema states explicitly.
• The reference node was fully synced with a UTXO index and zero transactions queued in the mempool.
• Kaspa remains a Proof-of-Work network, so every one of those blocks carries mining work rather than a stake weight.

Source: Kaspa REST API, September 4, 2026

The DAA score sits 1,934,164 ahead of the blue score, a gap that exists because the two counters measure different things. On the DAA side, KIP-14 revisits the sparse DAA window introduced in KIP-4, so it stays efficient at the increased block rate the Crescendo hardfork set. Readers used to single-chain explorers should treat block count and chain height as separate quantities here, because on a DAG they genuinely are.

Crescendo Hardfork Consensus Parameter Statistics

• Crescendo raised throughput from 1 block per second to 10 by cutting the target time per block from 1,000 milliseconds to 100.
• The difficulty adjustment algorithm absorbed the change by reducing difficulty tenfold.
• GHOSTDAG’s K parameter was recalculated to 124 using a delay bound of 5 and a Poisson tail cutoff of 0.01.
• Finality depth moved from 86,400 blocks, a 24-hour window at the old rate, to 432,000 blocks, a 12-hour window at the new rate.
• The merge depth bound scaled from 3,600 blocks to 36,000.
• Maximum block parents rose from 10 to 16, and the mergeset size limit from 180 to 248.
• Coinbase maturity went from about 100 blocks to 1,000.
• The pruning-depth formula produced a lower bound of 627,258 blocks, roughly 17.4238 hours, which the specification rounded up to 30 hours.
• Testnet TN11 ran the 10-blocks-per-second configuration stably for over a year before mainnet activation.

The full parameter set is published as KIP-14, the Crescendo consensus specification authored by Michael Sutton, and mirrored in the project’s Kaspa programmability documentation, created on January 21, 2025, and last updated on March 4, 2025.

Can Kaspa Be the Next Bitcoin?

On consensus parameters, the two networks are not comparable. Kaspa targets 100 milliseconds between blocks against the ten-minute average in Bitcoin’s own FAQ documents, orders its parallel blocks rather than discarding them, and finalises at a 12-hour depth. Both share a fair launch with no premine, no insider allocation, and no pre-sales, which is the design lineage rather than a performance claim.

Toccata Hardfork Statistics

• Toccata activated at DAA score 474,165,565, scheduled for June 30, 2026 at 16:15 UTC.
• The upgrade shipped four Kaspa Improvement Proposals at once: KIP-16, KIP-17, KIP-20, and KIP-21.
• The minimum standard fee became 100 sompi multiplied by the greater of compute grams or twice the transaction byte count.
• The minimum fee rate rose from 1 sompi per gram to 100 sompi per gram on activation.
• KIP-16 introduced OpZkPrecompile, the first opcode enabling verifiable computation on Kaspa.
• KIP-20 added consensus-tracked 32-byte covenant identifiers carried by unspent outputs.
• The node database upgrade is one-way, so operators who need an earlier version must resync.
• A new GetBlockRewardInfo RPC returns a block colour of blue, red, or unknown, with the reward amount populated only for blue blocks.

Source: Kaspa Improvement Proposals repository, 2026

The network has advanced 57,125,252 DAA score since Toccata activated. Operators running the upgrade follow the Toccata node setup guide in the rusty-kaspa repository, summarised in the Toccata upgrade documentation, which also renames the transaction mass field to storage_mass, separating it from compute mass and transient mass.

Why it matters: Toccata lifted Kaspa’s minimum fee rate 100-fold in the same year its block reward fell below 2.2 KAS. Base-layer subsidy and base-layer fee policy moved in opposite directions inside a single twelve-month window, which is the transition every fixed-supply proof-of-work network eventually has to price.

Kaspa Market Capitalization and Price Statistics

• KAS held a market capitalisation of $810,222,398 on the project’s own market endpoint.
• CoinGecko ranked the asset 82nd by market capitalisation on the same day.
• Spot price read $0.02926944 on the Kaspa API and $0.02928024 on CoinGecko within the same hour.
• The all-time high of $0.207411 was set on July 31, 2024.
• The all-time low of $0.00017105 dates to May 26, 2022, weeks after the chromatic phase began.
• Price fell 64.06% over the trailing year.
• Reported 24-hour volume was $12,272,836.
• Kaspa sits well below the largest cryptocurrencies by capitalisation while carrying a nearly complete supply.

Source: Kaspa REST API and CoinGecko, September 4, 2026

The asset trades 85.88% below its all-time high. A drawdown of that size on a supply that is already 96% issued means the remaining emission has very little left to say about price; what happens next is a demand question, not a scarcity one.

Kaspa Statistics by Exchange: Listings and Trading Volume

• CoinGecko tracked 57 KAS spot pairs across 38 exchanges.
• Combined converted volume across those pairs reached $12,474,751 in 24 hours.
• Bybit led all venues at $1,427,909.
• KuCoin followed at $1,360,484 and MEXC at $1,235,581.
• Gate carried $1,020,715 and HTX $967,388.
• Kraken recorded $929,891.
• Bitget handled $430,888.
• The tracked venue list contains no Coinbase, Binance, OKX, Upbit, or Bithumb spot entry.

The five largest venues account for 48.2% of tracked volume. Concentration at that level is unremarkable for a mid-cap asset; the absence of the five largest brand-name venues from the list entirely is the more consequential fact, because it caps the pool of buyers who can reach the asset through a regulated domestic account.

By the numbers: KAS clears $12,474,751 across 57 spot pairs on 38 exchanges, with Bybit, KuCoin, MEXC, Gate and HTX taking 48.2% between them. Not one of Coinbase, Binance, OKX, Upbit or Bithumb quotes a KAS spot pair in CoinGecko’s book, leaving distribution concentrated on offshore-tier venues.

Kaspa Layer 2 Statistics

• DefiLlama recorded $988,454 in total value locked on Igra.
• Kasplex, the older of the two networks, held $351,348.
• Igra’s series begins on April 7, 2026, from zero and peaked at $2,279,195 on June 17, 2026.
• Kasplex data starts on October 20, 2025, and peaked at $664,262 a week later.
• Igra’s TVL is tracked alongside an IGRA token symbol; Kasplex carries none in the same dataset.
• Neither network appears in the DEX rankings at a scale comparable to established Layer 2 ecosystems.

The two networks together hold $1,339,802, and that total equals 0.165% of the token’s market capitalisation. Igra has given back 56.6% of its June peak while Kasplex sits 47.1% below its own.

Kaspa Node Hardware Requirements

• The published minimum is 8 CPU cores, 16 GB of RAM, a 640 GB SSD and 10 MB/s of bandwidth.
• The preferred configuration runs 12 to 16 cores, 32 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB SSD.
• The specification changed partly because the transient mass limit doubled to accommodate ZK-STARK proofs.
• Pool operators are advised to run closer to the preferred specification rather than the minimum.
• A larger node speeds initial block download for the peers syncing from it, per the Kaspa node integration guide.

Kaspa Development Activity Statistics

• The rusty-kaspa reference implementation carries 841 stars and 295 forks on GitHub.
• The repository has 215 open issues and 73 watchers.
• It was created on July 17, 2022, and last received a push on September 4, 2026.
• The codebase is written in Rust and occupies about 28,252 KB in the API’s size field.
• The rewrite that produced it was backed by a 100 million KAS community grant.
• The research line runs from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem through Harvard, by way of the GHOST, SPECTRE, and PHANTOM protocols.

The parameters behind all of the above are published in the open, and the Kaspa project wiki documents the monetary policy in the same place it documents its own uncertainty about the final supply figure.

Can Kaspa Reach $1?

Circulating supply stands at 27,681,518,554 KAS and market capitalisation at $810,222,398. A price of $1 per coin therefore implies a market capitalisation 34.2 times today’s. That is arithmetic rather than a forecast: it describes the capital that would have to enter the market, not the likelihood of it doing so. With the supply already almost fully issued, none of a move that size could come from scarcity.

How Much Will Kaspa Be Worth in 2030?

No credible answer exists to the price half of that question, and CoinLaw does not publish price targets. What the protocol does fix is issuance.

The chromatic phase halves block rewards once per year, applied smoothly as a monthly factor of (1/2)^(1/12). As of September 2026, the reward stood at 2.18267645 KAS per block, and four annual halvings later the network issues about 1.36 KAS per second if block production is unchanged.

The project wiki projects about 95% of all KAS mined by July 10, 2026.

By the end of the decade, the network is fee-supported in all but name.

Conclusion

Kaspa enters late 2026 with 96.4% of its maximum supply already mined, against a cap of 28,704,035,605 KAS, a block reward of 2.18267645 KAS stepping down every month, and a network running at 10 blocks per second across 8 parallel DAG tips. Of all the Kaspa statistics that draw search traffic, the supply question draws the most, and it has a precise answer plus a documented uncertainty band.

The harder numbers sit on the demand side: a market capitalisation of $810,222,398 ranked 82nd, $12,474,751 of daily spot volume, and $1,339,802 locked across two Layer 2 networks, against only 3.6% of supply left to issue. Toccata gave the base layer covenants and zero-knowledge verification in June 2026. Whether the fee revenue those capabilities target arrives before the subsidy decays is the measurable question for the next four years.
