PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Aug. 25, 2026 (PRNewswire) — As Proof-of-Work mining grows increasingly dependent on specialized hardware, energy resources and professional-grade operations, direct participation remains out of reach for many individual users. KuMining, the cloud mining platform powered by global cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin, today announced the launch of KAS Cloud Mining, further expanding its multi-asset mining ecosystem and giving eligible users a simpler route into professional KAS mining infrastructure.

KAS is the native asset of Kaspa, a Proof-of-Work blockDAG network. Where conventional Proof-of-Work blockchains process blocks sequentially on a single chain, Kaspa's blockDAG architecture allows multiple blocks to be added in parallel, a structural difference that is central to the network's design. Because new KAS enters circulation through mining, access to hashrate lets users take part in the network's block production and security process — an alternative to purchasing the asset directly on the secondary market.

KAS mining today relies primarily on specialized ASIC hardware. Without a cloud option, users would need to purchase and transport equipment, secure suitable power and hosting, configure mining pools, and manage ongoing maintenance. That burden reflects a broader trend across Proof-of-Work markets, where mining capacity has shifted over time toward industrial-scale operators with access to bulk hardware procurement and low-cost power, a shift that has in turn driven demand for hashrate-rental services as a category. KuMining consolidates these operational requirements into a streamlined cloud mining experience, creating an accessible middle path between buying KAS outright and operating a physical mining setup.

Eligible users can select contracts ranging from 7 to 360 days and receive variable daily KAS mining output based on their purchased hashrate and applicable product rules. The pool-based model offers a more continuous and observable experience than probability-based solo mining, while removing the need to own or operate mining equipment.

KAS Cloud Mining also adopts KuMining's "mine first, pay electricity later" model. Users pay the applicable hashrate fee upfront, while electricity charges are settled over time. Electricity is one of the largest recurring cost lines in professional mining operations, which is what makes the timing of its settlement a meaningful variable for participants' cash flow. This reduces initial cash requirements and provides greater cash-flow flexibility, without implying lower total mining costs.

"Mining should be accessible to anyone who wants to participate, not limited to those with the resources to purchase and operate specialized equipment," said Jolie Du, Chief Operating Officer of KuMining. "By introducing KAS Cloud Mining, we are giving more users a simpler path into professional Proof-of-Work mining while taking another step in the expansion of KuMining's multi-asset ecosystem. Our goal is to connect professional infrastructure with everyday users through a transparent and integrated experience."

Because it is integrated with KuCoin, KuMining enables users to receive and manage mining output without navigating separate mining pools, wallets and exchanges. The launch further extends KuMining's Trade → Earn → Mine journey and reinforces its role as an accessible gateway to professional mining infrastructure.

KAS Cloud Mining is now available to eligible users on the KuMining platform.
