About
Kusama (KSM)

Kusama (KSM) is a public pre-production environment and "canary network" for Polkadot, offering a live, multichain network for radical innovation. Built with the Substrate framework, it shares a similar codebase to Polkadot but with faster governance and more lenient parameters, creating a perfect proving ground for new blockchain technology. Developers can test decentralized applications, forkless upgrades, and novel on-chain governance models under real economic conditions before deploying to Polkadot. Unlike a testnet, Kusama is an independent, decentralized network with its own native utility token, KSM, making it a key platform for early-stage Web3 infrastructure projects seeking to iterate quickly and experiment with bleeding-edge features in a high-stakes environment.

The network's architecture features a central Relay Chain providing shared security and interoperability to connected, application-specific blockchains called parachains. This heterogeneous sharding design is secured by a Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus mechanism, allowing KSM holders to participate as validators or nominators. The KSM token is central to the ecosystem's tokenomics. Its primary utility lies in bonding for parachain slot auctions, where projects lock up KSM to secure a spot on the network. It's also used for staking to secure the digital ledger and as a governance token, giving holders voting rights on network referenda, thereby shaping the protocol’s evolution.

Frequently asked questions

  • What does the SGD/KSM trading pair represent in the digital asset market?

    The SGD/KSM pair shows the exchange rate between the Singapore Dollar (SGD) and Kusama (KSM). It allows you to purchase KSM, the native token of Kusama, directly using SGD. Kusama functions as a 'canary network' for Polkadot, providing a live, experimental environment for developers to test new features, parachains, and on-chain governance before deploying on the mainnet.
  • What are the common methods to buy KSM with Singapore Dollar (SGD)?

    To purchase KSM with SGD, you typically need to use a cryptocurrency exchange that is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and offers a direct fiat on-ramp. Common deposit methods include FAST transfers or PayNow from a Singaporean bank account. After funding your account with SGD, you can place an order on the SGD/KSM order book. Always ensure the platform requires KYC/AML compliance for secure transactions.
  • Why might I choose to participate in Kusama parachain auctions after buying KSM?

    Participating in parachain auctions via crowdloans is a primary utility of the KSM token. By locking your KSM to support a project aiming to win a parachain slot, you can earn that project's native tokens as a reward. This allows you to gain early exposure to new projects launching on Kusama's experimental, multi-chain network, which is built on the innovative Substrate framework.
  • What is Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) and how does it relate to my KSM holdings?

    Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) is the consensus mechanism used by the Kusama network. As a KSM holder, you can participate in securing the network by staking your tokens. This involves 'nominating' up to 16 trusted validators who are responsible for producing new blocks. By doing so, you contribute to the network's security and can earn staking rewards, which is a common way to generate yield on your digital asset.
  • What kind of fees should I expect when executing a SGD to KSM transaction?

    There are typically two types of fees. First, the cryptocurrency exchange may charge a fee for depositing SGD via a local bank transfer and a trading fee for executing the buy order on its platform. Second, once you own the KSM and wish to move it to a private digital wallet or use it on-chain, you will pay a small network transaction fee in KSM. These network fees are dynamic and are used to support the validators who secure the blockchain.
