Kulupu (KLP)

Kulupu claims to be a proof of work blockchain with on-chain governance and online upgrade. Kulupu is built with the Substrate framework. It claims to combine proof-of-work consensus engine with forkless upgrades. It claims to have no pre-mine, be ASIC-resistant, censorship-resistant, accessible to everyone, peer-to-peer, and permission-less.

In addition, it further claims that it has on-chain governance and forkless upgrade including an on-chain democracy system where users and a democratically elected council can submit referendum proposals, which are voted by coin holders. It is claimed that this user-driven governance system allows Kulupu to enact runtime upgrade much more easily, and with a reduced risk of a network split, compared with hard-fork-based governance systems.
