# Kaspa Mining Economics Calculator

> Kaspa Mining Economics Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from api.carbon-cashmere.de, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status down (last checked 2026-09-15).

Calculates Kaspa mining profitability metrics including KAS yield per day, USD revenue, cost per TH/s, profit margin, and breakeven KAS price using live hashrate, difficulty, and KAS price data.

## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-carbon-cashmere-de-7ee56210
```

Example prompt: What are the current Kaspa mining economics — specifically KAS yield per day per TH/s, USD revenue, profit margin, and breakeven KAS price assuming $0.07 per kWh electricity cost?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need Kaspa-specific mining profitability analysis backed by a live Kaspa full node rather than static estimates. Ideal for agents assessing KAS mining ROI, comparing mining economics across electricity cost scenarios, or tracking how network difficulty changes affect miner margins. Prefer over generic crypto calculators when Kaspa-specific emission schedule accuracy (132 KAS block reward) and node-backed hashrate matter.

## Known failure modes

- Network hashrate or difficulty data unavailable from Kaspa node — returns 503 or error payload
- KAS price feed unavailable or stale — may return error or cached value
- Invalid or missing query parameters — returns 400 bad request
- Downstream node connectivity issues causing timeout

## How this service works

Professional crypto market intelligence. Real-time prices, signals, and market scoring.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with Kaspa mining economics including: KAS-per-day yield per TH/s, USD revenue per TH/s per day, cost per TH/s based on 40W ASIC power draw and configurable electricity rate, profit margin percentage, and breakeven KAS price. Derived from live node-backed network hashrate, current difficulty, and real-time KAS price. Block reward assumed at 132 KAS per Kaspa emission schedule.
