Mining Kaspa Through the Storm: How Kasrate Is Outperforming in a Downturn
New York, United States, June 5th, 2025, Chainwire
The Kaspa mining landscape has entered turbulent waters. Since Q1 2025, the KAS token has dropped more than 35%, dipping below $0.10, while the network’s emission rate continues to fall by approximately 5% every month as part of its programmed block size reduction.
For many miners, this is a double hit: lower block rewards and lower token value. Margins are evaporating. Entire farms are going offline. Even experienced operators are finding themselves running at a loss, forced to shut down asics they once considered bulletproof. In Telegram groups and Discords, the conversation has shifted from optimization to survival.
While a significant portion of miners are facing diminishing profitability and gradually leaving the network, Kasrate reports a contrasting trend amid ongoing market fluctuations.
A Pool Built for Harsh Conditions
Kasrate was designed for exactly this kind of environment, one where brute force is no longer enough, and smart infrastructure becomes a survival tool.
Kasrate, a private mining pool tailored for the Kaspa network, is engineered to optimize performance within standard hardware and environmental parameters. According to the company, Kasrate enables miners to potentially achieve up to 30% higher efficiency without requiring hardware modifications, overclocking, or non-standard tuning practices.
“We built Kasrate for moments like this,” says Oron Perahia, CTO and Founder of Kasrate. “In good markets, everyone looks like a genius. But when emissions drop and prices tank, only optimized systems keep paying. That’s where we come in.”
Why It Works
Kasrate isn’t just a smaller, leaner pool, it’s a purpose-built infrastructure layer designed for the unique demands of Kaspa’s GhostDAG protocol. Instead of relying on open-source mining pool code like most players in the space, Kasrate’s architecture is custom-coded from the ground up to:
- Optimize block job assignments
- Minimize latency and reward variance
- Ensure full asics utilization with minimal idle time
In comparative tests conducted under identical hardware, location, and power conditions, miners using Kasrate reported net profitability increases ranging from 15% to 30% relative to leading public mining pools.
Growing Fast, Against the Trend
The pool currently supports almost 3% of the global Kaspa network hashrate, making it the 8th largest Kaspa pool worldwide. Based on current growth, Kasrate is on track to reach 15–25% of the network share by the end of 2025.
Lowering the Barrier to Entry
In response to growing demand, Kasrate recently lowered its entry threshold to 500 TH/s, opening access to a broader segment of professional miners while keeping the pool private and high-performance.
At the same time, the company launched a new real-time management dashboard, providing miners with full visibility into:
- Individual asics performance
- Hashrate stability
- Reward tracking
- Automated payout management
Additional features, including conversion tools and integrated alerts, are already in development.
What Clients Are Saying
“Your mining pool definitely hashes faster than Whale Pool or 2miners. Thanks for everything. When I get more miners, I’ll patch them through as well.” US-based Kaspa miner, operating over 700 TH/s, Kasrate’s client.
Looking Ahead
As Kaspa continues to evolve, Kasrate is positioning itself not just as a mining pool but as a foundational infrastructure layer for efficient, long-term mining. In a market where efficiency isn’t optional, Kasrate is delivering measurable performance and consistent profitability even under pressure.
Miners operating 500 TH/s and above can now apply to join the pool.
