Karlsen (KLS) introduced a GPU-centric fork aimed at empowering small-scale miners and increasing decentralization. This strategic shift towards GPU mining made it easier for users to participate, by reducing the efficiency advantage of ASICs. This approach flattens the mining landscape, encourages broad participation and ensures a more decentralized network. This not only promotes inclusivity and sustainability, but also enhances network security, in line with the core principles of decentralization inherent in blockchain technology.
