What is Kusama (KSM) crypto?
Kusama is an experimental blockchain project offering developers interoperable and scalable services. It considers itself a "cousin" network of Polkadot, one of the popular interoperable blockchains. Kusama’s codebase is similar to Polkadot.
The protocol allows cross-chain transfers for any asset or data besides offering high scalability and security features. The protocol is built on Substrate, a blockchain building kit developed by Parity Technologies, the same team that created Polkadot.
