Karlsen Network
Building the fastest and most decentralized payment network
The Karlsen Network, derived from the Kaspa blockchain, introduces a GPU-centric fork designed to democratize mining. By focusing on GPU mining, we aim to lower barriers for individual miners and mitigate the centralization effects driven by ASIC mining farms.
Our commitment is to maintain a secure, inclusive, and decentralized network, aligning with the foundational principles of blockchain technology. This approach encourages broader participation and strengthens the network's resistance to centralization and security risks.
Phase 1: BlockDAG Development
Creating the Fastest BlockDAG with ASIC Resistance
Leveraging Kaspa's innovative blockDAG structure, Karlsen stands out as the world's fastest, open-source, decentralized, and scalable Layer-1 blockchain solution. Our technology focuses on rapid block processing and high security while being resistant to ASIC, promoting greater decentralization.
This approach ensures a balanced mining landscape, making it feasible for individual GPU miners to participate effectively.
Phase 2: DeFi Integration
Integrating Karlsen with Decentralized Finance
Karlsen is connecting its blockchain with the wider DeFi ecosystem using a smart contract layer built on the Cosmos SDK. This move enhances our network's ability to interact smoothly with other systems, increasing efficiency and creating new opportunities for users.
Phase 3: Payment Solutions
Creating the Ultimate Decentralized Payment System
Our final phase aims to fully integrate the Karlsen blockchain into the mainstream financial ecosystem. We're partnering with leading wallet providers to ensure our decentralized platform can handle transactions as smoothly and securely as traditional banks.
