Kusama blockchain is the pre-production ecosystem for Polkadot. It allows the developers to test and experiment with the latest blockchain technologies or applications before introducing them to the network. The coding structure of the Kusama blockchain is similar to the Polkadot coding structure. Kusama blockchain is more of a testing unit for Polkadot where all fresh features are tested on this platform before implementing them to the Polkadot unit. You can create your own Kusama Blockchain by availing of our Kusama Blockchain Development services to assist your Polkadot platform.
The Kusama blockchain consists of two blockchains.
The relay chain is the network where transactions are finalized. In order to achieve high speed, the relay chain separates the addition of fresh transactions from the act of validation of transactions.
Parachains are custom blockchains that use the functionality of the relay chain’s computing resources to validate the transactions whether they are accurate or not.
Speed is the primary difference between Polkadot and Kusama is that Kusama is equipped with modified governance mechanisms that allow faster upgrades. Kusama is 4 times faster than Polkadot. Kusama blockchain is faster than Polkadot in terms of block speed. There is a shorter period of time between governance events. Thus, it allows Kusama to adapt and evolve faster than Polkadot.
Polkadot will always remain as the primary network for the deployment of enterprise-level applications. The main use of Kusama is to test the features of the new concepts before deploying them on the Polkadot network. Kusama provides the perfect environment for experiments of new innovations and ideas in fields like governance, monetary policies, and incentives.Then Polkadot finalizes the output from Kusama and initiates them.
The projects that want to run a parachain require to bond tokens as security. The bonding process of Kusama is found to be lower than Polkadot.
Kusama enables flexibility to the platform while they finalize the design of the Polkadot projects.
Parachains receive the customization ability for any use and leverage of the main relay chain for security.
Kusama blockchain allows the Polkadot projects to create a user base and gain traction in the community before the estimated launch.
Kusama and Polkadot will continue as independent networks with their governance and their complementary use cases. They will maintain a stable relationship with several teams for deploying applications to both networks. In near future, we are planning to bridge Kusama with Polkadot completely for cross-chain interoperability and we at Blockchain App Factory provide one of the best Kusama Blockchain Development services to the client and we are well-versed in this domain. As a leading Kusama blockchain developer, we have provided extensive guidance and support to our clients who want to excel in this ecosystem.
