Kale is a direct fork of the Chia™ Network codebase built by space farmers as a fully decentralized alternative green cryptocurrency that can be secured alongside Chia™ while consuming negligible additional power. We aim to be a community-driven fork reflecting the will of our users, while promoting and recognizing excellent contributions to the Chia and Kale user communities. Kale is not affiliated with Chia Network, Inc., but builds on their great open-source work.
You should first read Chia’s repository FAQ, check out the wealth of information on the repository wiki and join us on Discord in the #general channels. You also can read a good summary of the basics of creating plots from Chia.

Cryptocurrency has no intrinsic value. Its value doesn’t come from any person or corporate entity but from broad community support as well as supply and demand. We aim to build a great community by users for users. The value of XKA is currently unknown without an exchange listing, and you should treat it as worthless internet brownie points in the most probable case.
We’re green money! The team wanted a name that would be short and impactful. Kale is also healthy. Kale Network was born.
