Kusama KSM
Report IssueKusama is an early, unaudited and unrefined release of Polkadot. Kusama will serve as a test bed, allowing teams and developers to build and deploy a parachain or try out Polkadot's governance, staking, nomination, and verification features in a live environment. Kusama describes itself as a canary network: an early experimental version of Polkadot that represents real-world economic conditions. It is not economically centralized and there will be no central kill switch. Kusama will exist as long as the community supports it, and the team is committed to serving new, early-stage, risky features and projects that are being prepared for development and deployment on Polkadot.

Kusama is a cryptocurrency of Swiss origin, as well as a cryptocurrency Polkadot. These two projects have approximately the same goals and team of creators. The Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NpoS) algorithm is used to confirm transactions. In practice, this means that users can deposit their coins to trusted nodes (validators) who have the right to confirm transactions. Thus, users receive a part of the validators’ income, and ownership of the Kusama cryptocurrency brings them an income of 7 to 20% per annum. This type of earnings on cryptocurrencies is called staking. The main advantage of the Kusama cryptocurrency is its good scalability and the ability to combine several blockchains within one platform. It is also convenient to create various decentralized applications based on Kusama (DeFi) . The application can use parallel blockchains (parachains), which reduces the load on the main blockchain and allows you to safely perform operations. There are already many Kusama-based software libraries that are used to create various applications: decentralized oracle, stablecoins, payment gateways, IoT firmware. Owners of KSM tokens have the right to vote in choosing the further development of the Kusama project.
History of the Kusama (KSM) project

Kusama's main goal is to become a testing ground for technological innovations, the most successful of which will be implemented in cryptocurrencies like Kusama Polkadot.
