The Kaspa API — build without running a node

Access Kaspa blockchain data through one unified REST API: transaction and address data, balances, block data, and real-time webhooks for on-chain events — with no Kaspa node to run and maintain. Start free and scale as you grow.

Blockchain data

Read Kaspa transactions, addresses, balances, UTXOs, and block data through one REST API.

Real-time webhooks

Subscribe to on-chain events — incoming and outgoing transactions, confirmations, and mined blocks.

No node to run

Skip the infrastructure — managed, always-synced access with no node to operate or maintain.

Scalable PoW blockchain with BlockDAG structure

Kaspa blockchain was developed to address scalability limitations and enhance transaction throughput by using a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure. Its design enables fast transaction confirmations, increased security, and decentralization, overcoming challenges faced by traditional blockchains.
