Kusama

KSM

Kusama is a Layer Zero blockchain that unites an entire network of purpose-built blockchains into a single scalable ecosystem. It is a "canary" network for the Polkadot blockchain, allowing developers and users to experiment with new features and network upgrades before they are implemented on Polkadot. The vision of Kusama is to provide a platform for innovation and experimentation in the decentralized space, enabling developers to try out new ideas and technologies in a secure and incentivised environment.
