What is Kusama?

Kusama is a public blockchain network built from the same codebase as Polkadot. It is designed as a canary network: an experimental and development environment where new features can be introduced before they are deployed to Polkadot. Its purpose is to support early functionality and projects preparing to develop and deploy on Polkadot, while providing a setting with real economic conditions for experimentation. Kusama emphasizes rapid development and operates as an early, highly experimental version of Polkadot. The profile describes the network as community-owned, without a central kill switch, and intended to continue as long as its community maintains it. Kusama is associated with smart contract platforms, the Polkadot ecosystem, proof-of-stake networks, and the Hydration ecosystem. It is also listed in categories referring to Pantera Capital, Made in USA, and the Coinbase 50 Index.
