Does Kaspa ASIC mining lead to centralization?

ASIC mining is not inherently centralizing — whether it concentrates power depends on market dynamics, not the hardware type alone. Kaspa currently has ASICs from multiple competing manufacturers, including IceRiver, Bitmain, and others, available globally at various price points starting from small home-friendly units. This means entry into Kaspa mining is not gated behind a single supplier or industrial-scale investment. For a beginner, this matters because a multi-manufacturer, globally accessible mining market distributes hardware more broadly, which works against the kind of centralization that a single-supplier monopoly would produce.
