 Kaspad is the reference full node Kaspa implementation written in Go (golang).
 
 ## What is kaspa
 
+Kaspa is a fork of Kaspa with an ASIC resistance implementation
 Kaspa is an attempt at a proof-of-work cryptocurrency with instant confirmations and sub-second block times. It is based on [the PHANTOM protocol](https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/104.pdf), a generalization of Nakamoto consensus.
