What is Kusama (KSM)?
Kusama is a popular network that has been making waves in the crypto world since 2019. It was launched by the team behind Polkadot. Kusama is often referred to as a 'canary network' for Polkadot, which means that it is a test network for Polkadot's technology.
Kusama is unique in several ways. Firstly, it is designed to be a more experimental version of Polkadot. This means that developers can test new ideas and features on Kusama before implementing them on Polkadot. Secondly, Kusama has a faster development cycle than Polkadot, which means that new features can be implemented more quickly. Finally, Kusama is designed to be more community-driven than Polkadot, which means that the community has more say in the direction of the project.
How Kusama (KSM) Works
Kusama is built on a unique multi-chain architecture that allows it to support multiple blockchains simultaneously. Each blockchain on Kusama is called a 'parachain' and is designed to be interoperable with other parachains. These parachains communicate with each other through a central relay chain that is responsible for coordinating transactions and ensuring their validity.
One of the key benefits of this architecture is that it allows Kusama to support a wide range of use cases and applications. Because each parachain can be customized to meet the specific needs of a particular use case, developers have a great deal of flexibility and control over how their applications are built and deployed.
Additionally, Kusama's multi-chain architecture allows for greater scalability and throughput than traditional blockchain platforms. By supporting multiple blockchains, Kusama is able to process a much larger volume of transactions than a single-chain platform could handle. This makes it well-suited for applications that require high levels of throughput, such as financial applications or gaming platforms.
How Many Kusama (KSM) Tokens Are in Circulation?
KSM does not have a hard cap on total supply. 8,470,098 KSM tokens are in circulation.

Early June through late September make up the bulk of the dry season. Between the end of December and the beginning of February, there is a second dry season called "Pequenas Gravana." The majority of São Tomé Príncipe's terrain is mountainous. Other substantial amounts of land are covered with rainforests, the majority of which give place to cloud forests at higher altitudes.
After a period of a transitional government, São Tomé and Príncipe achieved independence on 12 July 1975, choosing as the first president the MLSTP Secretary General Manuel Pinto da Costa.
