What is Kusama (KSM)?
Kusama is a network of sharded blockchains called parachains, built using Substrate and nearly the same codebase as Polkadot. The network is an experimental development environment (testnet) for Polkadot.
Developers can use Kusama to bridge parachains to other networks, create smart contract dApps, independent token economies, governance, and more. Specific use cases include DeFi, supply chain, gaming, NFTs, DAOs, IoT. Additionally, parachains are connected to Kusama by leasing a parachain slot, purchased through auction, with an annual lease.
The KSM token is used to fulfill the following functions:
- Nominating and Validator Functionality: Voting and Staking
- Kusama Governance for KSM Holders
- KSM Functions as Kusama’s Main Network’s Utility Token to cover transactions and fees
- To bond to the network to launch Parachain and Parathread and to cover costs associated with their Slot Auctions and Payments
