Kusama
Kusama is a public blockchain network that runs the same codebase as Polkadot exactly. It is designed to serve as the canary version of the Polkadot network, providing an experimental and development environment for new features that will ultimately be deployed to Polkadot. Due to its Kusama experimental nature, its development proceeds much faster and it has gained significant attention since its launch in 2019.Kusama is an early, highly experimental version of Polkadot that operates under real economic conditions. The network will be community-owned—there will be no central kill switch. As long as the community maintains Kusama, it will continue to exist; we envision it serving new early-stage features and projects preparing to develop and deploy on Polkadot.
