Kaspa Network Hashrate
Network Data
What is the Kaspa network hashrate?
The network hashrate is the combined computing power of all miners securing the Kaspa network. Kaspa uses the kHeavyHash algorithm and is mined exclusively with specialised ASICs. A rising hashrate means more competition for the same emission - earnings per terahash decline; a falling hashrate works the other way round. Next to the coin price, the hashrate is therefore the most important network metric for miners. It is also a measure of chain security: the more independent computing power, the more expensive any attack becomes.
One Kaspa speciality is its block rate: since the Crescendo upgrade in May 2025 the network produces ten blocks per second - more than any other proof-of-work network. This does not change the miner's maths fundamentally; it simply spreads the emission across many very small blocks.
Difficulty: the control mechanism
Difficulty defines how hard it is to find a valid block. It continuously adjusts to the network hashrate to keep the block rate constant, which is why hashrate and difficulty move in lockstep - switch between both metrics in the chart above to see the relationship.
Does Kaspa have a halving?
Kaspa has no classic halving like Bitcoin. Instead, the block reward decreases every month by a fixed factor - the so-called chromatic emission phase. Over twelve months this adds up to a halving of the emission, just spread out smoothly instead of one single step. For miners this means no cliff-edge date like Bitcoin's halvings, but a predictably declining KAS output that any investment calculation should account for from day one. You can model the effect in the Kaspa mining calculator.
History: from GPU era to ASIC network
Our records go back to September 2022. The most visible feature is the jump from 2023 onwards, when the first kHeavyHash ASICs hit the market and multiplied the network hashrate within months. Since then the dataset grows by one data point per day from our monitoring - the charts above show the full history with a freely selectable time range.
