Overview
Kaspa is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency which implements the GHOSTDAG protocol.It is a community project, completely open source with no central governance. The mainnet was openly launched without premining or any other preallocation of coins.
Hashing algorithm
Kaspa uses a modified version of HeavyHash. HeavyHash uses a matrix multiplication step between two "standard" hashes (e.g. keccak). The matrix multiplication phase is designed such that it would be efficient to calculate on specially designed photonic based devices in the future. The hash was chosen by the community in an open discussion a day before the mainnet has launched.
