Catenaa, Saturday, June 14, 2025-While plummeting Kaspa token prices and declining block rewards, miners across the globe are shutting down rigs, Kasrate, a private mining pool optimized for Kaspa’s GhostDAG protocol, is gaining ground and defying broader industry setbacks with custom-coded infrastructure and a focus on performance under pressure.
Since the beginning of 2025, the KAS token has lost more than 35% of its value, falling below $0.10. Simultaneously, Kaspa’s built-in emission reduction, dropping rewards by 5% each month, has pushed many miners into the red. Industry forums have shifted focus from expansion to survival, as once-profitable setups are now operating at a loss.
Kasrate, however, reports profitability gains of up to 30% compared to public mining pools. Built from scratch rather than relying on open-source code, Kasrate optimizes block job assignments, minimizes latency, and ensures full ASIC utilization. These features are helping miners maintain revenue despite collapsing margins.
Currently commanding nearly 3% of Kaspa’s global hashrate, Kasrate is the network’s eighth-largest pool and is projected to capture up to 25% by year’s end. The company recently lowered its entry threshold to 500 TH/s, allowing broader participation while maintaining high performance.
A new dashboard offering real-time ASIC performance tracking and automated payout management is part of Kasrate’s drive to redefine mining infrastructure amid market turbulence.
