Canxium’s Cross-Mining with Kaspa: Sustaining Mining Rewards Beyond 2037
Introduction
As the blockchain industry evolves, mining rewards are a crucial factor in maintaining network security. Kaspa, a high-performance Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain, is set to fully distribute its KAS supply by 2037. After that, there will be no more KAS block rewards for miners (except transaction fees). However, Canxium introduces an innovative cross-mining mechanism that ensures Kaspa miners continue earning rewards even beyond 2037, contributing to Kaspa’s long-term security.
Canxium’s Cross-Mining Model
Canxium employs a unique Retained Proof of Work (RdPoW) system, which allows miners to use computational power efficiently across multiple blockchains. By cross-mining with Kaspa, Canxium recognizes the PoW work done on Kaspa’s network and rewards miners with CAU tokens.
Unlike traditional merged mining, where miners earn dual rewards for securing two networks simultaneously, Canxium’s approach retains and repurposes Kaspa’s Proof of Work, ensuring miners continue receiving incentives even when KAS block rewards run out.
How It Works
- Kaspa Miners Include Their Canxium Address — When mining Kaspa blocks, miners attach a Canxium-compatible address to their block submissions.
- Mining Transactions Are Created — A special mining transaction (Type 0x7E) is submitted to Canxium’s blockchain, crediting miners with CAU based on the difficulty of their mined Kaspa blocks.
- Canxium Validates the Work — Validators verify the Kaspa block difficulty and proof of work.
- Canxium Rewards the Miner — Validators reward the miner with CAU.
- Long-Term Sustainability — Even after Kaspa’s KAS issuance stops in 2037, Canxium will continue rewarding miners, ensuring that mining remains profitable.
Strengthening Kaspa’s Security Post-2037
One major concern for Proof-of-Work blockchains is maintaining adequate security after block rewards diminish. With Canxium’s cross-mining model:
- Kaspa miners remain incentivized to continue securing the network even without KAS rewards.
- Kaspa’s hash rate stays high, reducing risks of 51% attacks.
- Miners get additional value for their work, making mining more sustainable in the long run.
Conclusion
Canxium’s cross-mining integration with Kaspa represents a game-changing innovation for the PoW ecosystem. By offering sustained mining rewards tied to Kaspa’s difficulty, Canxium not only ensures continuous incentives for miners but also enhances Kaspa’s long-term security at zero cost to the Kaspa network. This synergy between blockchains proves that Proof of Work can be retained, transferred, and repurposed for sustainable mining economies.
Kaspa miners can start benefiting from Canxium rewards today, ensuring their profitability extends well into the future. Join Canxium’s mining revolution and be part of the next generation of blockchain security.
