Polkadot
In the words of Dr. Gavin Wood ... "Bitcoin pioneered resilience. Ethereum generalised it. Polkadot took it one step further with scale." Here's how Polkadot rollups are pioneering Web3 for the world. The Internet was first created for the public, but built in private. Centralized architectures enabled the monetisation of personal data. Powerful organisations emerged and built the internet that everyone depends on today. Single points of failure. No privacy. No transparency. The Fix: Create a resilient system accessible to everyone and not controlled by small groups- Enter Polkadot and its ecosystem of rollups (parachains). Natively integrated. Flexible. No compromise on decentralisation or security. Polkadot Rollup Key Features: Shared security. Cut costs, boost security, and enable features e.g. cross-chain functionality. Native interop. Seamless integration into the Polkadot eco. Perfect for app chains and network effects between projects. Customization (Polkadot SDK). Builders can quickly deploy apps, maintain autonomy over their chain, and tap into modularity to meet requirements. Performance. Fast blocktimes/finality and huge throughput from Polkadot's architecture and upgrades such as Async Backing, Agile Coretime, + more. And it's all decentralised (resilient) thanks to finality & OpenGov on the Polkadot Relay Chain. Compare that to alternative stacks ... Performance stats (so far): → 143K TPS (Polkadot SDK on Kusama) → 173 Nakamoto coefficient → 100% on-chain governance → 0 Relay Chain downtime since 2020 launch But Polkadot today is not the end goal. Not even close. Builders are iterating, pushing on-chain performance to the limits, then setting new limits, incorporating compatibility with other Web3 tech stacks, and more.

Kusama is an open-source and experimental version of the Polkadot blockchain, built using the Substrate network. It offers a relatively lenient governance system, thus allowing developers to build and upgrade new blockchain projects quickly. KSM is the name and ticker of the project's native token.

Kusama utilizes a multi-chain network with a relay chain, parachains, and bridges. While Polkadot focuses on maintaining high levels of security, Kusama is designed to absorb the risks of early experimentation by acting as a testnet. It is also cheaper to deploy projects on Kusama than on Polkadot, making it attractive for early-stage projects. The minimum requirement for staking as a validator is also lower, increasing its accessibility to users. However, Kusama supports a limited number of parachains, currently 100, booked through slots and allocated through an open auction for high-value bidders.

The three main ecosystem governance participants are the KSM token holders, the council, and the technical committee based on the Nominated Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus. The on-chain governance model uses simple, stake-based voting schemes to make any required changes to the network. As a result, Kusama is four times faster than Polkadot, with the voting and enactment process executed within 15 days.

KSM price and tokenomics

KSM has a total supply of 10 million and is subject to an annual inflation rate of 10%. Therefore, the token allocation of newly minted tokens depends on the proportion of KSM staked by network participants. If upheld, the ideal staking ratio is set at 50%, giving KSM validators new tokens. The excess goes to the treasury if this ratio has a positive deviation. However, validators will receive fewer tokens with a negative deviation, affecting the KSM price.

The quicker governance structure and rapidly expanding Polkadot ecosystem drive demand for KSM tokens. Polkadot price fluctuations also affect KSM's price. KSM was initially released through an airdrop and distributed to accounts that participated in the sale of DOT, Polkadot's token, at a ratio of 1:1. It also had a sale option for those who did not hold any DOT tokens at the time.

About the founders

Backed by strong players in the crypto ecosystem, Kasuma shares the same founders as Polkadot - Gavin Wood, Peter Czaban, and Robert Habermeier. Wood, the co-founder and former CTO of Ethereum, invented several fundamental elements of blockchain development, including Solidity, Whisper, and Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus. He also currently serves as the president and founder of the Web3 Foundation.

Czaban, an Oxford alumnus, is the chief technology officer at the Web3 Foundation, while Habermeier, a fellow at Thiel, is a longtime member of the Rust community. KSM also has a team of over 100 blockchain engineers and strategic advisors helping shape the project's future. Kusama is funded by the Web3 Foundation and private investors such as Master Ventures, who funded the entire Polkadot ecosystem.
