How KISS Compares
Side-by-side with 11 major chains and tokens. Real numbers, no marketing.
Why KISS Wins
- Flat fees forever — no gas wars, no surge pricing, no surprises
- Instant finality — 1 block, done; no waiting 10–60 minutes for confirmation
- Zero SDKs needed — integrate with curl in hours, not weeks with complex libraries
- $5/mo nodes — anyone can validate; no $1,000/mo hardware requirements
- 100% fee burn — every transaction is deflationary; no fees siphoned to insiders
- 1 transaction type — send money, that's it; no smart contract attack surface
- On-chain founder vesting — 10% with 2-year vest, publicly auditable; not 40% with no disclosure
- Human-readable amounts — buy coffee for 400,000 KISS, not 0.00004 BTC

Data reflects mainnet values as of early 2026. Fee estimates in USD are approximate and vary with network conditions and token prices.
KISS Chain values reflect the target specification. Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin token, not an independent blockchain — included for market context.
Founder allocations are approximate and sourced from public disclosures, whitepapers, and on-chain analysis.
