Kusama

Kusama is a multi-chain network that facilitates early-stage deployment and experimentation for projects intended for the ecosystem. Developed with Substrate, a framework by Parity Technologies, Kusama closely mirrors the Polkadot codebase while offering a more adaptable environment for testing and iteration.[5][6][1]

Overview

Kusama functions as a testing ground for developers, providing an environment with lower entry barriers for deploying parachains and reduced bond requirements for . The network operates on a heterogeneously-sharded, multichain architecture using a nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS) system.

This system allows for energy-efficient operations compared to traditional models and supports on-chain upgrades without the need for . Additionally, Kusama enables cross-chain communication through its cross-chain message passing (XCMP) protocol, facilitating interaction between various parachains.

The network’s governance model is decentralized and permissionless, allowing token holders to participate in decision-making processes. This governance is quicker than Polkadot’s, with a combined voting and enactment period of 15 days, making it suitable for projects that require rapid development cycles. [1][2]

History

Kusama was introduced in 2019 by Parity Technologies, the creators of , under the direction of Dr. , a co-founder of . It was designed as a "canary network," offering a real-world environment for testing new features and upgrades before their deployment on Polkadot.

The Web3 Foundation, which supports decentralized web technologies, has played a significant role in Kusama’s development by providing grants and resources for research and community initiatives. [7][8][9][10][11][12]

Tokenomics

KSM, the native token of Kusama, was initially distributed through an to participants in the token sale on a 1:1 basis. It was also available through a frictional faucet, which has since been discontinued. Unlike , Kusama has not undergone redenomination, maintaining a stable .

KSM tokens are utilized for governance, , and rewarding . The economic model supports early-stage projects with low and a flexible framework, allowing for cost-effective deployment and testing. Validator rewards are distributed in KSM tokens, and the network's inflation rate is managed to ensure a balanced token supply.[3][4]

Funding

Kusama’s growth has been supported by funding from the Web3 Foundation and other -focused organizations. These funds have been used to advance research, foster community development, and enhance technical capabilities.

One notable project conducted within the Kusama ecosystem is the groundbreaking research of , , Tomer Jordi Chaffer, and other researchers for the first academic case study on Digital Inheritance, where the researchers used the Social Recovery Pallet as a use case. This study went on to be pubished at Harvard University ADS - The ADS is operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory under NASA Cooperative Agreement 80NSSC21M0056 [13] - and at UC Berkeley [14].

The Kusama Treasury is also instrumental in financing innovative projects within the ecosystem, providing resources for initiatives that contribute to the network’s ongoing development.[8]
