The new Antminer KA3, Bitmain overtakes all its competition and positions itself on the podium as one of the most profitable asics.

The leading chip company announced on 13 September a new mining device for the Kadena cryptocurrency with a mining power of 166Th and a power consumption of 3,200w/hour.

This machine is called the Antminer KA3, the first Kadena machine to make its way into the Bitmain family. The efficiency of this machine is so far unique and unmatched as it delivers around 19.2 Watts per TH.

It should also be noted that the miner of the Blake-2s Kadena algorithm is considered an industrial machine, not only because of its power consumption but also because of its high noise level, between 70-80db, factors that you should take into account if you want to get one of them.

Mining the Blake 2s Kadena (Antminer KA3)

Mining of the Blake2s algorithm in the Kadena network refers to the process of validating transactions and securing the network using the Blake2s algorithm.

1. Blake2s hashing algorithmBlake2s: Blake2s is a cryptographic hashing algorithm used in Kadena mining. It is a variant of the Blake2 algorithm that is used to hash blocks on the blockchain and ensure the integrity of transactions on the network.
2. Proof-of-Work (Proof-of-Work)In the Kadena network, mining is done through a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm using Blake2s. Miners compete to solve complex mathematical problems using their processing power to find a valid hash value that meets certain requirements set by the algorithm. The first miner to find the correct hash value has the opportunity to add a new block to the blockchain and receive rewards.
3. Mining hardwareBlake2s mining in Kadena can be carried out using specialised hardware known as ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) designed specifically for this algorithm. These devices are highly efficient in calculating hash operations and provide increased processing power compared to conventional GPUs or CPUs.
4. Mining poolsAs with other cryptocurrencies, Kadena miners have the option to join mining pools. Mining pools allow miners to combine their processing power and increase their chances of solving blocks and receiving rewards on a more regular basis. Rewards are distributed among pool members based on their contribution to the total hashing power of the pool.
5. Profitability and considerationsThe profitability of Blake2s mining in Kadena depends on several factors, such as the cost of electricity, the price of the mined token (KDA), the difficulty of the network and the efficiency of the hardware used. It is important to consider these factors and perform profitability calculations before embarking on mining.

Why do you think Bitmain became interested in the Kadena project?

This cryptocurrency, KDA, has a large development team that includes former engineers from Microsoft, Apple and Bitcoin, as well as good advisors that help to generate a great deal of confidence in the project.

Bitmain has joined the large number of companies cooperating with Kadena, and we should not be surprised if we see a lot of adoption and the project continues to grow exponentially.

Large ex - changes such as Binance, KUcoin, Crypto.com ... have this currency for their users to trade with.

Undoubtedly, it is a Blockchain that has a great future and the potential to reach the TOP20 level.

It should be noted that Kadena currently has a market capitalisation in excess of $1 billion and trades as of today (18/10/22) at 1.35$, source: CoinMarketCap. Its all-time high of 24$ was reached in November 2021.

If we transfer the highest peak of KADENA, to what the machine generates per day, we would be talking about this machine generating: 1250$ a DAY.

Token KDA

The KDA token, short for "Kadena", is the native cryptocurrency of the Kadena blockchain network.

1. Function and utilityKDA is used as the native currency in the Kadena network. It has several functions and utilities within the Kadena ecosystem:
   • Payment of fees: Users must pay a certain amount of KDA as a fee for sending transactions, executing smart contracts and performing operations on the Kadena network.
   • Participation in governance: KDA holders have the opportunity to participate in the governance of the Kadena network. This involves voting on improvement proposals and making decisions related to the development and evolution of the network.
   • Value storage: In addition to its usefulness within the ecosystem, users can maintain KDA as a form of value storage or long-term investment.
2. Supply and issuanceThe total supply of KDA is fixed and limited. According to the information available until September 2021, the maximum supply of KDA is 100 million tokens. No additional issuance beyond this maximum supply is foreseen.
3. Markets and exchangesKDA token: The KDA token is listed on several cryptocurrency exchanges, allowing users to buy, sell and trade it. The price of the KDA is subject to supply and demand on these exchanges, as well as other external factors that may influence its value.
4. Underlying technologyKadena is a blockchain platform that combines multiple blockchains into a single network, allowing for greater scalability and performance. It uses a hybrid consensus based on Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) called "BFT-POW". This consensus approach combines the security of PoW with the efficiency and scalability of PoS.
5. Use cases: Kadena is focused on providing blockchain solutions for enterprises and business applications. Its technology is designed to enable decentralised applications and reliable, scalable smart contracts, providing opportunities in areas such as finance, supply chain, asset registry and more.
