The Kaspa network has hit another significant milestone, surpassing 2.1 billion cumulative on-chain transactions, according to data shared by <a href="https://x.com/kaspaunchained" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@kaspaunchained</a>. The figure comes just a short time after the network crossed the 2 billion mark, reflecting the rapid pace at which activity is compounding on the chain.
The data, sourced from Kaspa Explorer, paints a picture of a network in consistent, accelerating use. <cite>Kaspa operates at 10 blocks per second, enabling high throughput without congestion.</cite> That architecture has clearly played a role in driving cumulative transaction counts higher at pace.

Beyond the transaction count, the on-chain data offers several other telling metrics. According to Kaspa Explorer, 95.55% of <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24KAS&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$KAS</a> has already been mined, the network now hosts 539,977 wallet addresses, and the current block reward stands at 2.75 <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24KAS&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$KAS</a>.
The near-complete mining of the circulating supply is consistent with Kaspa's emission schedule. <cite>The official Kaspa tokenomics page projected that around 95% of all KAS would be mined by approximately July 10th, 2026,</cite> putting the current figure broadly in line with that trajectory. <cite>The total supply is fixed at approximately 28.7 billion KAS, with no plans to increase it.</cite>
The declining block reward is also by design. <cite>During what Kaspa calls its Chromatic Phase, block rewards decrease geometrically over time, halving once per year but reduced smoothly each month by a fixed factor.</cite> This approach is intended to create a more gradual deflationary curve than the sudden halvings seen in Bitcoin.
The wallet address count of 539,977 also aligns with broader growth trends. <cite>Multiple sources have noted that over 530,000 addresses hold KAS, reflecting steady and wide distribution across the network.</cite>
Looking ahead, Kaspa is preparing for a material upgrade. <cite>A Toccata hard fork has entered its final phase, with a June 2026 activation window targeted for introducing native tokens and smart contracts.</cite> If successful, the upgrade would mark a significant shift for the network, moving it beyond its current payments-focused identity.
