# Kaspa Network Hashrate & Difficulty Telemetry

> Kaspa Network Hashrate & Difficulty Telemetry is a paid API for AI agents from api.carbon-cashmere.de, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns Kaspa network hashrate (H/s and PH/s) and difficulty trend measured directly from a Toccata RPC node, providing post-fork mining-security telemetry.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.carbon-cashmere.de/v1/kaspa-derivatives/network-hashrate
- Price: $0.05/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability kaspa-network-hashrate-difficulty-telemetry-8170b8a1
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the current Kaspa network hashrate and mining difficulty from the carbon-cashmere node — I want the raw H/s figure, the PH/s equivalent, and the difficulty trend from their direct Toccata RPC measurement?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need direct node-sourced Kaspa network hashrate and difficulty data rather than aggregated or exchange-derived metrics — especially for post-fork accuracy. Prefer over generic crypto data APIs when Kaspa-specific, RPC-level mining telemetry is required for research or security analysis.

## Known failure modes

- RPC node unavailability causes 503 or empty response
- Payment failure (x402 unpaid) returns 402 Payment Required
- Stale data if node is behind the chain tip
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without payment
- Malformed response if Kaspa node returns unexpected format

## How this service works

Kaspa network hashrate (H/s) + difficulty trend from direct node measurement (Toccata RPC). Post-fork mining-security telemetry. Informational research data — not investment advice.

## Output

Returns an object containing the Kaspa network hashrate in both H/s and PH/s, the current mining difficulty value, and window-based statistics in PH/s — all sourced from a direct Toccata RPC node measurement for post-fork accuracy.
