What is Kusama?

Kusama functions as a pre-production environment for Polkadot, and enables the testing and experimentation of blockchains before they are released on a network.

Kusama offers greater flexibility while developers finalise their Polkadot projects. You can think of them as an incubator of new projects!

How Does The Kusama Network Work?

What makes the Kusama network special is that it allows for the creation of two types of blockchains - the relay chain and parachains.

Transactions are finalised on the main Kusama blockchain, the relay chain splits up new transactions from the act of validating those transactions to process them faster.

The Parachains, on the other hand, help to confirm that transactions are accurate by tapping on the relay chains computing resources.

Kusama is also extremely efficient, and runs on a nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS) consensus algorithm, which allows them to perform rapid on-chain upgrades.

Users who own or stake KSM can participate in the maintenance and governance of the network. They earn newly minted KSM as rewards, in proportion to the KSM they stake.

Anyone who owns and/or stakes KSM, the native token of the Kusama network in a special contract, can participate in the governance of the network.

Participants can contribute as either validators or nominators. As their name suggests, validators help to verify and validate data in parachain blocks and vote for proposed changes to the network.

On the other hand, nominators help to ensure security of the relay chain by picking trustworthy validators.

The Kusama network is governed by three main bodies - The Referendum Chamber, The Council, and The Technical committee - all made up of KSM users who either own KSM tokens or are part of teams who build the Kusama network.
