There is less Kaspa left to mine, and getting a share of it increasingly requires specialized hardware.

More than 27.4 billion KAS is already circulating, representing roughly 96% of Kaspa's estimated maximum supply of 28.7 billion tokens. That leaves only around 1.1 billion KAS still to enter circulation under the network's emission schedule.

KuCoin now wants to make that remaining mining opportunity accessible without requiring users to own the machines doing the work.

The exchange's cloud mining platform, [KuMining](http://kucoin.com/kumining?utm_source=KuMining_PR), has launched [KAS Cloud Mining,](https://www.kucoin.com/campaigns/mining_lego_KAS) allowing eligible users to purchase Kaspa hashrate and receive daily KAS output without buying, hosting or maintaining specialized mining equipment.

The addition expands KuMining's multi-asset mining business and gives users another way to accumulate KAS beyond purchasing the cryptocurrency directly on an exchange.

## Kaspa Mining Is Becoming More Competitive

Kaspa launched in November 2021 as a fair-launch Proof-of-Work network with no premine, presale or allocation to insiders. Every KAS entering circulation has been produced through mining.

The network takes a different approach from Bitcoin. Rather than organizing transactions through a conventional single-chain architecture, Kaspa uses a blockDAG that allows parallel blocks to be ordered instead of discarded. The network currently operates at 10 blocks per second.

That speed also means a considerable number of mining rewards are distributed every day.

> Current estimates put Kaspa's daily mining emission at roughly 2.1 million KAS. At a KAS price of around $0.028, that represents close to $60,000 in newly mined KAS being distributed across the network every day.

Getting a meaningful share of those rewards has become increasingly difficult for smaller miners.

Competitive KAS mining now relies heavily on ASIC machines designed specifically for its KHeavyHash algorithm. Running those machines means paying for hardware, electricity and hosting while managing cooling, maintenance, mining pools and downtime.

KuMining effectively separates access to that computing power from ownership of the equipment itself.

Eligible users can purchase cloud mining contracts ranging from seven to 360 days, with variable KAS output distributed according to the amount of hashrate purchased and the applicable product rules.

### How Much Could KAS Mining Earn?

The important distinction is between **mining output and mining profit**.

Based on current network estimates of approximately 2.1 million KAS distributed per day and roughly 273,500 TH/s of network hashrate, each 1 TH/s would theoretically correspond to around **7.7 KAS per day** before pool adjustments, platform costs, electricity and other expenses.

At a KAS price near $0.028, that works out to roughly **$0.22 in gross KAS output per TH/s per day** at current conditions. A hypothetical 100 TH/s allocation would therefore correspond to around 770 KAS, or approximately $22 in gross daily mining output.

Those numbers are only a snapshot. Actual KuMining returns will depend on the price paid for hashrate, electricity charges, network hashrate, mining difficulty, KAS price and changes to Kaspa's block rewards. KuMining itself warns that theoretical mining earnings are not fixed and can change with cryptocurrency prices, network difficulty and electricity costs.

That makes the economics different from simply buying KAS. A spot buyer knows exactly how many tokens a purchase provides. A miner is effectively paying today for a stream of future KAS whose quantity and dollar value can change throughout the contract.

## Kaspa's Mining Rewards Keep Getting Smaller

Kaspa also has one of the more unusual emission schedules among major Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin cuts its block subsidy roughly in half every four years. Kaspa spreads that reduction across smaller monthly cuts.

Under what the project calls its "chromatic" emission schedule, mining rewards decline each month by a factor designed to produce an effective halving approximately once per year.

The latest reduction in August brought the reward to approximately 2.45 KAS per block at Kaspa's current 10-block-per-second rate. Another reduction is scheduled to bring that figure down to roughly 2.31 KAS.

The result is a steadily shrinking supply of new KAS available to miners.

> Kaspa's annual inflation rate is currently estimated at around 3%, down from more than 6% previously, while approximately 95% of the eventual supply had already been mined by July 2026 under the project's original emission projections.

For miners, that creates a straightforward tradeoff: each unit of hashrate competes for an increasingly scarce stream of newly issued KAS.

## KuMining Changes the Upfront Cost

KuMining is also changing when users have to pay one of mining's largest expenses.

Under its "mine first, pay electricity later" model, users initially pay the hashrate fee while electricity expenses are paid over the mining period rather than entirely upfront.

KuMining's current system deducts electricity charges from users' dedicated Mining Accounts, with records and balances visible through the platform.

That does not make electricity cheaper or guarantee mining will be profitable. It reduces the amount of capital that needs to be committed at the beginning of a contract and spreads some of the operating expense across the mining period.

> "Mining should be accessible to anyone who wants to participate, not limited to those with the resources to purchase and operate specialized equipment," said Jolie Du, Chief Operating Officer of KuMining.

"By introducing KAS Cloud Mining, we are giving more users a simpler path into professional Proof-of-Work mining while taking another step in the expansion of KuMining's multi-asset ecosystem. Our goal is to connect professional infrastructure with everyday users through a transparent and integrated experience."

## From Buying KAS to Producing It

KuMining brings the mining process into the KuCoin ecosystem, allowing users to receive, track and trade their KAS without managing separate hardware, pools or wallets.

With roughly 96% of KAS supply already circulating and mining rewards declining each month, KuMining offers users a simpler way to compete for the remaining supply without owning ASIC hardware.
