🪙 What is Kusama (KSM)?
Kusama is a pre-production environment for Polkadot – that runs on an early unaudited release of the Polkadot blockchain. Kusama functions as a sandbox allowing any developer to test early versions of Polkadot projects in a live environment.
Kusama is designed to be a canary network for Polkadot. This means that Kusama will often try out new features or implementations before they are deployed on Polkadot. This allows for a more rapid rate of innovation and experimentation than would be possible on the mainnet. Learn more
