What does Kusama do?
Kusama (CRYPTO:KSM), a scalable blockchain built on the Substrate framework like Polkadot, serves as a canary network for testing new features. Developed by the Kusama Foundation, it uses grants and community donations for progress. Projects focus on expanding the ecosystem through applications, user-friendliness, and new staking providers. Kusama prioritizes education, providing extensive resources.
Kusama's core goals involve enabling innovative, cost-effective blockchain applications, constructing an open and decentralized financial system, and fostering blockchain innovation. As a pioneer for Polkadot, Kusama significantly influences the future of blockchain technology, allowing developers to rigorously test new features before deployment on Polkadot, advancing the field toward a more open and inclusive financial system.
