- Kaspa KRC-20 tokens launch on the mainnet sparks significant on-chain activity, increasing miner revenue drastically.
- KRC-20 token creation mimics Ethereum’s ERC-20 standards, allowing for versatile dApp and digital asset development.
Mining Kaspa has become essential for maximizing miner profits. Following the launch of KRC-20 tokens on its mainnet, the activity on-chain increased significantly, leading to higher earnings for miners within 24 hours. This surge in mining income was highlighted in a report by Kasplex, the first DeFi protocol on the Kaspa network.
The increase in miner revenue can be attributed to the new capabilities that KRC-20 tokens bring to Kaspa. Users can create and manage their tokens similarly to ERC-20 standards on Ethereum. This allows for seamless interaction between tokens, applications, and smart contracts on the chain. With KRC-20 tokens, developers and users can create digital assets, decentralized applications (dApps), and tokenized representations of goods.
