# Kaspa L1-Based

KRC-20 is built on **Kaspa** as its Layer-1 base network, fully inheriting Kaspa’s decentralization and high-performance characteristics. Kaspa is a Proof-of-Work public blockchain that strictly adheres to **Nakamoto Consensus**. By combining an advanced **DAG-based architecture**, Kaspa achieves strong decentralization and censorship resistance while delivering exceptional scalability and network throughput.

KRC-20 transaction data is embedded directly into Layer-1 transactions via **P2SH/Payload mechanism**, thereby inheriting Kaspa’s capabilities as a Data Availability (DA) layer — including transaction ordering guarantees and data verifiability. Benefiting from Kaspa’s extremely high block rate (10+ BPS) and DAG parallel block processing, KRC-20 natively exhibits strong MEV resistance and real-time responsiveness.

KRC-20 nodes integrate the **Simple Contract** engine **Lyncs**, which performs real-time computation over **KRC-20 transaction (OP)** data and maintains the corresponding state. This advanced architecture — featuring separated computation and parallelized execution — ensures high TPS and low-latency, real-time on-chain operations.

* **High Decentralization:** Full adherence to Nakamoto Consensus, ultra-high block rate, low-cost node hardware requirements, and strong resistance to hashpower-based attacks.
* **High-Speed, Fair Trading Network:** The advanced GhostDAG/DAGKnight consensus algorithms provide robust MEV resistance, delivering 3,000+ TPS and an average 0.1-second block interval for near-instant transaction confirmation.
* **Real-Time Computation:** A blockless architecture in which each KRC-20 OP is directly bound to a Layer-1 block/transaction; deeply optimized computation enables strong real-time processing capacity (achieving 12,000+ OPS on 16Core/16GB hardware).
