The operational story

Mining Operations

From a small cluster of entry-level ASIC miners in 2023 to an active hardware transition today, our operations are built around disciplined engineering and predictable performance.

2023: origins

Started as Kas-Hman Xact

Kasper Transactions began in 2023 with a small cluster of IceRiver KS1 miners, under the original project name Kas-Hman Xact. The goal from day one was straightforward: test whether clean, solar-aligned compute could reliably support Kaspa's blockDAG settlement flow.

That early groundwork validated the model, and the company has been strategically leapfrogging to KS7-class hardware in 2025 and 2026 to unlock major gains in efficiency, throughput, and long-term reward stability.

The IceRiver KS1 is Kaspa's original 2023-era cluster hardware, an entry-level kHeavyHash ASIC miner. It was the right tool for the job at that stage: proving the concept before committing to larger-scale, more efficient hardware.

That validation period mattered. It confirmed that solar-aligned compute could reliably support the demands of Kaspa's fast blockDAG settlement flow before Kasper Transactions committed to scaling up.

2025 to 2026: the leapfrog

Moving to KS7-class hardware

Kasper Transactions is strategically leapfrogging to KS7-class hardware in 2025 and 2026. This is an active transition, not a completed changeover. The move is meant to unlock major gains in efficiency, throughput, and long-term reward stability compared with the original KS1 cluster.

Details on the specific hardware, including the IceRiver KS7's real specifications, are covered on the Hardware page.

What we do today

An energy-integrity-driven infrastructure provider

01

Facilitating KAS transactions

Today, Kasper Transactions operates as a focused, energy-integrity-driven infrastructure provider facilitating high-speed KAS transactions for network rewards. This is mining and settlement infrastructure work, not a trading platform or exchange.

02

Solar-aligned power

Operations run on solar power, keeping the company's energy sourcing aligned with the same clean-compute principle that shaped the original 2023 test cluster.

03

Scaling with discipline

The company's mission is to scale renewable-powered settlement capacity while maintaining disciplined engineering, predictable performance, and a commitment to clean, future-ready compute.

Leadership

Led as a contract CTO role since February 2023, with a clear focus on engineering discipline.
