Kusama ksm

Kusama network is a public pre-production environment for Polkadot. It is described as a "canary network." By deploying on Kusama, fast-paced projects gain access to a highly scalable, interoperable sharded network, with features not yet available on Polkadot. Kusama has a native token called KSM, to give holders the ability to participate in securing the network and voting on upgrade proposals

Kusama was built by a company known as Parity Technologies. Gavin Wood is the co-founder, and he is also a computer scientist and programmer who also co-founded Ethereum The Web3 foundation also supports Kusama with research and community development, thanks to its growing team

The main reasons to invest in Kusama include: - Kusama is a unique blockchain platform with a fast-evolving pace of development. - It uses a nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS) consensus system — an alternative consensus mechanism to the energy-intensive proof-of-work (POW) - This system enables rapid on-chain upgrades without a fork and supports cross-chain message passing (XCMP) to communicate with other parachains on the Kusama network. - Kusama features on-chain governance capabilities which is faster than Polkadot
