Why I believe $1
$KAS is entirely achievable. ๐
Forget price for a second. Look at the technology AND the valuation required.
โก Kaspa is already a 10 BPS Proof-of-Work network.
Instead of throwing away competing blocks like a traditional blockchain, Kaspaโs GHOSTDAG protocol allows parallel blocks to coexist and orders them into consensus.
That gives Kaspa something extremely unusual:
Nakamoto-style PoW + BlockDAG scalability + extremely fast block production.
๐ฅ And the story has evolved beyond simply being โfast PoW.โ
Toccata brought new programmability infrastructure to Kaspa, while development continues toward things like vProgs and DAGKnight.
โ๏ธ Then thereโs the monetary side:
โข Fair launched
โข No premine
โข No ICO
โข No founder allocation
โข Fixed projected supply of ~28.7B KAS
โข Issuance continually declines
Now letโs talk about $1 KAS.
At roughly 28.7B maximum supply:
$1 KAS โ $28.7B fully diluted valuation. (Kaspa Wiki)
Sounds huge?
Crypto history says otherwise.
During the 2021 cycle:
๐บ Avalanche reached $146.22. Based on its circulating supply around that period, its valuation climbed into the tens of billions of dollars. (CoinMarketCap)
๐ Dogecoin reached $0.7376 โ implying a valuation around $90B+ at its 2021 peak.
Yes. A meme coin reached roughly THREE TIMES the valuation Kaspa would require for $1. (CoinMarketCap)
๐ Shiba Inu reached $0.00008845 with hundreds of trillions of tokens outstanding, putting its peak valuation around the $40B+ range. (CoinMarketCap)
๐ต Cardano reached $3.10 in September 2021. With tens of billions of ADA circulating, its valuation climbed to roughly $90B+ territory. (CoinMarketCap)
Put that into perspective:
KAS at $1 โ ~$29B
Historical crypto valuations have already shown:
AVAX โ tens of billions
SHIB โ ~$40B+
DOGE โ ~$90B+
ADA โ ~$90B+
And those happened in the 2021 crypto market.
So weโre supposed to believe ~$29B is an impossible valuation for a fair-launched Proof-of-Work BlockDAG that can produce 10 blocks per second and is actively expanding its programmability?
Thatโs the part I donโt buy.
Kaspa doesnโt need to become Ethereum.
It doesnโt need to flip Bitcoin.
It doesnโt need a $500B valuation.
It needs the market to eventually value the network at roughly $29B.
And if Kaspa actually succeeds in becoming a major programmable Proof-of-Work ecosystem?
$1 starts looking less like an outrageous target and more like a valuation milestone.
The risk is execution: technology alone doesnโt guarantee adoption, liquidity or demand.
But the historical market-cap argument?
Crypto has crossed the ~$29B threshold many times before.
Now give a technically differentiated PoW network a full bull cycle and let the market decide what itโs worth.
