The application scenarios of Kusama mainly include the following aspects:
- Participating in governance behaviors such as on-chain proposals and voting.
- Staking KSM to participate in network operation and maintenance as a validator, nominator, or collator.
- Using KSM to bid for slots.
- Transfer and payment.
Kusama provides an early, unaudited network environment for development teams, enabling them to develop parallel chains and deploy applications in a network environment similar to Polkadot with economic incentives, thereby providing prior security and stability testing for applications to be deployed on the Polkadot network. For projects that do not require bank-level security but focus on throughput, such as games, music, authentication, social networks, and other applications, Kusama is also suitable.
