Coinbase’ What is Kusama (KSM) listed in?
Kusama is built on Substrate, a Blockchain building kit developed by Parity Technologies. Kusama has almost the same code base as Polkadot, which has been cited as one of the most successful of interoperable Blockchain networks.
Speedy projects still gain access to Polkadot features if they work on Kusama. With these features, the altcoin is described as a “canary network” for testing innovations.
The platform is designed to provide a testing environment for developers who want to update or roll out their Blockchain networks. Kusama claims it has eliminated the hurdles for using para-chain and reduced validator requirements. Usually this platform is used for early stage projects and experiments.
