Kusama is a scalable multi-chain network launched for radical innovations and early-stage Polkadot deployments. As stated on the official website, It offers “unprecedented interoperability and scalability” for blockchain developers who look for innovations and their own blockchain deployment. 

The Kusama network was built with a special development kit called Substrate, which was developed by Parity Technologies — the same company that launched Polkadot. As their codebase is very similar, Kusama also calls itself “the cousin of Polkadot”, but defines itself as a canary network. It can be used by developers as a testnet before launching on Polkadot. Though many projects after all decided to stay on Kusama. 

The platform was funded by grants from the Web3 Foundation which is interested in helping the projects that benefit the development of technologies in any way related to decentralized web software protocols. The Web 3 Foundation also helps Kusama with community development and research. 

The advantages of the network include low barrier entry for deploying the parachains and low bond requirements for the validators. It’s mainly preferred by developers who love to experiment and start-ups. 

Kusama is built on the multichain heterogeneously-sharded design. It uses a nominated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism that allows upgrading the chain in no time without forking it. It uses the network of nominators (stakers of the KMS coin), who elect nodes to participate in the validations of the transactions. Moreover, all the messages can be passed between the parachains so they can work together. 

Kusama offers a decentralized and permissionless on-chain governance, so every token holder is able to vote on possible governance proposals, for example, upcoming upgrades, requests, or changes in the protocol. The governance on Kusama is much faster than Polkadot offers, for instance, the voting and enactment period is only 15 days, which allows the projects on Kusama to develop much faster. 

KSM is a native token of the Kusama blockchain that also provides governance rights. It has a total supply of 10 million coins, but its max amount is undefined. Each year the team plans to release 10% of the new tokens to cope with the inflation.
