Kusama · KSM
Kusama price prediction
Kusama is Polkadot's canary network, the place where parachains and upgrades ship first and break loudly before they reach the main chain. That experimental streak keeps KSM high-variance, so reading it right is a real feather in the cap.
What is Kusama (KSM)?
Kusama is a sharded, multichain network built with the Substrate framework and sharing nearly the same codebase as Polkadot. It uses a central relay chain to provide shared security and interoperability for connected parachains, and functions as a "canary network" where new features and runtime upgrades are tested under real economic conditions before deployment on Polkadot. The KSM token is used for staking, governance, and bonding parachain slots. It was created by Gavin Wood and the teams behind Polkadot, including Parity Technologies and the Web3 Foundation.
