    Congratulations to @kasplex for the upcoming launch tomorrow! I wanted to share my two cents: 1) Kasplex still didn't open source their project. 2) Until vProgs proposal (or something similar) is implemented, any L1-L2 bridge will be centralized. These two points mean that when

    We're nearly done writing the consensus component on Rust and are finally able to start benchmarking the codebase as a whole. The results are amazing! Validating 10K blocks with a total of 1.6M transactions took 48 seconds, while the same benchmark took 23 MINUTES on the existing

    I wanted to make some clarifications about the below image that is spread in $KAS circles in recent days. I'll attach here a response I made to some user in the Kaspa Q&A website that quoted this figure: Although @tty's answer is technically correct, it represents a peak TPS due

    72 hours to a big crescendo moment in permissionless distributed systems, showing that a multi-leader consensus real-world system can achieve block times shorter than global internet round-trip time (RTT) without artificially suppressing the P2P network size or assuming proximity

    $kas users, I'm reminding you that the Crescendo hardfork will happen in less than 48 hours. If you're running a node and don’t upgrade, your wallet may show incorrect balances and your transactions might fail. See upgrade links in the following post

    Kaspa is going to have OP_CAT and covenants, which covers the "simple SC functionality" while preserving the simple parallizeable utxo model

    Hi $kas, here's a statement of intentions and some other thoughts about my current efforts. 1. In my excitement about the prospects of community funding, I rushed to announce and discuss it with the community without really thinking about the optics. In what I now consider my
