KAS runs Kaspa, a proof-of-work chain: 27.76B coins circulate, all unlocked, out of a 28.70B cap.

Sell pressure. Mining is the only new supply: 176.3M KAS in 90 days. The reward drops 5.6% every month, so the next 90 days bring about 148.6M.

Buy pressure. Nothing is burned, bought back or locked; every fee goes to miners.

1. Protocol inflation
~176.3M KAS

Miners are the only source of new KAS. The block reward is cut by about 5.6% every month, one full halving a year: it fell from 2.45 to 2.06 KAS per block over these 90 days, at 10 blocks a second. Adding up every block in the window gives 176.3M new KAS, about 1.96M a day. Three more cuts (Nov 4 2026, Dec 5 2026, Jan 4 2027) bring the next 90 days down to about 148.6M.

2. Vesting unlocks
0

Kaspa launched in November 2021 with no premine, no coin sale and no team or investor share, so there is nothing to vest. Every coin in circulation was mined in the open.

checked · Oct 15 2026
3. Foundation + unscheduled unlocks
0

There is no foundation treasury, only community funds paid for by donations: the DAGKnight fund (about 70.25M KAS), the Rust fund (about 46.16M), the Dev Fund (about 1.19M), the Mining Dev Fund (about 220K) and two small marketing and funding wallets (under 2,500 KAS together). None of them fell in these 90 days, and all of it was mined and is already counted as circulating, so a payout adds no new supply.

checked · Oct 15 2026
4. Long-term locked or bankruptcy
0

No bankruptcy estate, trustee or long lock holds KAS. The largest single holder seen on-chain (about 1.53B KAS, up 50.9M in these 90 days) bought its coins in the market, so they were already in the float.

checked · Oct 15 2026
Buy pressure
1. Programmatic buyback
0

Nothing buys KAS back. There is no company, token treasury or fee switch behind the coin.

checked · Oct 15 2026
2. Protocol fee burn
0

Every fee goes to the miner; the protocol destroys none. People sent 2,502 KAS to the well-known burn address in these 90 days (it now holds about 11.23M), but those coins still sit inside the supply count, so nothing leaves the float.

checked · Oct 15 2026
3. Foundation buy
0

No foundation or treasury buys KAS. The community funds only receive donations and pay developers.

checked · Oct 15 2026
4. New long-term lock
0

Kaspa is proof of work, so there is no staking and no lock that takes coins out of the float.

KAS · Coin Demand

Two sides: how much people want KAS right now, and how much buying could come later.

3 / 5Moderate

Current demand2.5 / 2.5

This part is based on social media. It shows how hot KAS is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.

KAS on social mediaIts rank among the 110 coins we follow · last 12 months · #1 = most talked about
#19 · Oct 15 2026

Today, people are talking about KAS for two reasons:

  1. 1
    A token standard for Kaspa is almost final.

    On Oct 7 2026, KCC-20, the shared format for tokens that live directly on Kaspa, entered its last review before it becomes final. It is built on covenants, rules that coins can carry, which the Toccata upgrade switched on in June, and another standard for token details was added on Oct 14. People ask whether real token apps, and the fees they pay, will follow.

  2. 2
    KAS slid with the rest of the market this week.

    KAS fell about 4.6% on Oct 13 and about 5% more on Oct 15 2026 as most altcoins dropped, and it traded near $0.036. Market reports said no Kaspa news was behind the move. Traders are watching whether the $0.034 area holds.

Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →

How does MrNasdog judge every coin, and why is +0.54% shown in red?

We look at two things, half each: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. A meme coin scores 1.5 at most on supply: its team got its coins for free, so no new supply does not make it safe. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand looks at how much people want the coin now and how much buying could come later. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss; they have no score. KAS supply grows +0.54% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more KAS reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
