Layer 1

Kaspa

Kaspa is a proof-of-work Layer 1 focused on fast block production and a different consensus architecture than traditional blockchain designs. It is useful for beginners because it offers a strong contrast to both smart-contract-heavy chains and slower proof-of-work systems like Bitcoin.
