Who funded Kaspa's research and development?

PolyChain paid $8,000,000 to fund the team that researched and built Kaspa over more than three years. That scale of investment — a single backer committing eight million dollars and three-plus years of dedicated research time — is rare in the cryptocurrency space. For a beginner, this matters because it signals that Kaspa's protocol was not assembled quickly or cheaply: it is the product of sustained, professional-grade research funded specifically to bring its technology into existence.
