Kaspa Project

Kaspa has gained a live connection to the broader crypto ecosystem. Through Igra Labs, Hyperlane India, and the teams building around them, $KAS now has an active pathway into major EVM networks like #ethereum What’s actually happening -> Igra runs an EVM-compatible Layer 2 anchored to Kaspa -> Hyperlane connects that environment to other EVM chains -> KaspaCom and Zealous Swap are building applications and liquidity on top -> Kaspa_KAT (X) connects Kaspa L1 and L2 for KAS and KRC-20 movement Together, this creates a working route between Kaspa and external ecosystems. Assets can now move: KAS ↔ Igra (iKAS) ↔ EVM networks Already in use Kaspa.com and Zealous Swap have launched a USDC <> KAS L2 pool #Stablecoins can bridge into Igra and be used immediately K.A.T. enables movement between L1 and L2 This is live infrastructure supporting real activity. Simply put $KAS now connects into the wider crypto economy through Igra, with applications and liquidity already in motion. So what • Stablecoin liquidity can enter and move through the Kaspa ecosystem • Builders can use familiar EVM tools while anchoring to Kaspa • Applications, trading, and asset movement are already functioning How this comes together This is ecosystem-driven development around the Kaspa base layer: • Kaspa Core advances real-time settlement at the base layer • Igra extends that capability through an EVM-compatible L2 • Hyperlane enables cross-chain connectivity Kaspa.com and Zealous bring applications and liquidity • K.A.T. keeps value moving between L1 and L2 Where this is heading? This is a working model built with today’s tools. As Kaspa evolves with #covenants++ and #KvProgs through #Toccata, builders across this ecosystem may begin moving more logic, assets, and coordination directly onto Kaspa L1. The roles of L2s, bridges, and integrations can evolve alongside that shift, as more capability becomes native to the network. The bigger picture Kaspa is becoming a system that connects, routes, and settles. This is one working example. Many teams across the Kaspa ecosystem are building in parallel, shaping how this network is used in practice.

60+ Enterprises to be Disrupted by #Kaspa tech #28 – Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Legacy Standards (NA & Global) • OpenAI, DeepMind, Anthropic, Meta AI • AWS, Azure, Google Cloud • Centralized data, APIs, and billing models • Internal, non-verifiable logging systems Platforms & Systems • Models trained and deployed in closed environments • Data provenance not publicly verifiable • Outputs lack independent auditability • Access and behavior controlled by providers What’s Broken / Innovation Gaps • Opaque training data • No verifiable model history • Limited auditability of outputs • Weak proof of contribution • Fragmented or closed logging • Dependence on few infrastructure providers Where AI Systems Can Still Innovate and Where Kaspa Could Help ❌ Data provenance unclear ✅ Anchor dataset hashes with timestamped proof ❌ Model updates not verifiable ✅ Track version hashes and changes over time ❌ Inference lacks auditability ✅ Anchor outputs to a globally ordered record ❌ Contribution is hard to prove ✅ Enable verifiable contribution logic ❌ Decisions are hard to audit ✅ Create consistent, cross-system event ordering ❌ External data is hard to trust ✅ Use oracle-based timestamped commitments ❌ Execution conditions unclear ✅ Define transparent, enforceable logic Kaspa does not replace AI systems. It provides a coordination and verification layer for data, models, and decisions. Why This Matters Now AI is becoming infrastructure, for users and for systems. A growing share of interaction will be machine to machine. These systems require: • verifiable data • ordered events • global consistency • open access Kaspa is positioning as a settlement and coordination layer for this. Where This Becomes Real Finance, logistics, healthcare, energy, governance, autonomous systems. All rely on coordinated decisions across systems. All benefit from verifiable, ordered records. The Call to Builders 🛠️ Developers 🧠 Researchers 🏗️ Infrastructure teams Build: • verifiable pipelines • data commitment layers • inference anchoring • covenant-driven coordination The Shift AI will act directly within digital infrastructure. Systems will require high-frequency, globally ordered interaction. Kaspa is moving toward this capability. The opportunity is to build what makes it usable. #BuildOnKaspa → protocol layer #BuildWithKaspa → application layer #PoweredByKaspa → outcome layer HOW KASPA COULD DISRUPT ENTERPRISE MARKETS Need an idea for an app or program?

Why are KAS deposits/withdrawals paused on exchanges? Most exchanges are calling it “wallet maintenance.” What’s happening is straightforward: Kaspa is processing high volume real-time transactions, and exchanges need to track, index, and reconcile every one before crediting users. When activity increases quickly, their internal systems can lag behind. So deposits and withdrawals are paused while they catch up and ensure balances are accurate. The #Kaspa network itself continues to run normally. Blocks, transactions, and confirmations are unaffected. A simple way to picture it: Cities were once built for horses. Then cars arrived. The roads didn’t break, but the system around them had to change. Traffic lights, lanes, rules, and highways all came after the fact. Faster movement exposed the limits of what was already there. This follows that same pattern. Kaspa developers are aware of these challenges and have been in communication with exchanges, working toward better integration and infrastructure alignment over time. This isn’t new in technology When new systems increase speed or volume, surrounding infrastructure takes time to adapt. 📈Telegraphs accelerated information beyond what financial markets could process 🚘Automobiles increased movement beyond what cities were designed for Each time, the system around the technology evolved to match. Kaspa is operating at a level of throughput that exchange infrastructure is still adapting to. No indication of a Kaspa network issue. This is exchange-side infrastructure keeping pace with throughput. In summery, the sudden increase in tx volume became too heavy to process in real-time for some exchanges. The Kaspa infra support devs are on it - compiling observed metrics, establishing the bottlenecks, brainstorming "solutions" (tradeoffs to accept) and as always, will deliver and statements will follow when ready. Exchanges are in some process of upgrading and strengthening their Kaspa integration infrastructure, and we expect those they are in contact with to reopen soon. Thx @ supertypo_kas and @ IzioDev (X) and all others, for their insights in this and support in helping the CEXs to keep up. :)

#ICYMI #Kaspa $KAS is now supported on the ELLIPAL Titan series. Store KAS on an air-gapped device with no USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi. Private keys stay offline. Exactly where they belong. Thanks #KEF for making it happen. Link to the news 👉https://lnkd.in/ezyJgrdw

A Note from #KEF about the latest Integration. It’s official: ELLIPAL has gone above and beyond to fully embrace the #Kaspa ecosystem, honouring their commitment made last Christmas. The integration is now live, and more than what they promised: #Kaspa L1 supported on the Titan series; Kasplex supported across the entire product line, including the Titan series and X Card. In a market where security is everything, #ELLIPAL gives #Kaspa users a smarter way to stay in control: no cables, no Bluetooth, no unnecessary exposure. Just secure, independent, next-level self-custody designed for serious holders. We are currently crafting a special batch of #Kaspa x Kasplex co-branded wallets. We can’t wait to hand these out to our beloved #Kaspa Fam during our offline events this year. See you on the road. 🌍 https://lnkd.in/ezyJgrdw

Kaspa founder, Yonatan Sompolinsky @ hashdag (X) will speak at the University of Oxford Union Society on March 12. (He is at Oxford for a series of meetings from the 10th to the 12th) The #OxfordUnion has hosted world leaders, scientists, and major thinkers for over 200 years. An invitation to speak there signals that an idea has entered serious global debate. Sompolinsky’s work helped shape modern blockchain consensus. His early work on the GHOST protocol influenced design decisions in Ethereum, and his later work led to GHOSTDAG, the blockDAG consensus powering #Kaspa. Today that research and development continues with the incoming protocol, #DAGKnight, advancing the vision of real-time decentralized networks. Seeing Kaspa’s lead researcher on one of the world’s most historic academic stages reflects something important. Kaspa is not just another crypto project. It is the result of years of peer-reviewed research exploring how decentralized infrastructure can scale. March 12 will bring that conversation to one of the most respected academic halls in the world. Thanks to Kaspa Ecosystem Foundation for enabling this strategic alliance with the historic Oxford Union. Note: Look forward to news about an upcoming hackathon for Oxford's top student builders to dive into the ecosystem. Look forward to the recording coming to the KEF YouTube Channel

📢ANNOUNCEMENT! A major Rusty Kaspa upgrade just dropped. @ michaelsuttonil (X) shared the update on Discord, and it represents a meaningful step forward for node performance, integration tooling, and sync efficiency across the network. Rusty Kaspa v1.1.0 strengthens the production baseline with improvements to: • integration UX for developers • node efficiency and storage handling • faster IBD catch-up and pruning sync • new tools for integrators working with the virtual selected chain It also includes a ~3x improvement in header-stage IBD, RocksDB improvements for archive setups, and the first Rusty Kaspa Stratum Bridge (BETA). Equally important, this release helps prepare the codebase for what comes next. As Michael notes in the announcement, it provides a cleaner, more stable foundation ahead of upcoming Covenants++ releases. Great work by the builders pushing the infrastructure forward. Rusty Kaspa v1.1.0 is out! Announcement on Discord: https://lnkd.in/gRkN-p_8 3230659846165/844142778232864809/1478792966981288128 Github: https://lnkd.in/g4FgBVHK

60+ Enterprises that could be disrupted by #Kaspa tech. #27 Stablecoins & CBDCs Legacy Standards (NA & Global) • USDT, USDC, DAI, TUSD and other fiat backed stablecoins • Algorithmic and over collateralized stablecoin models • Central bank digital currency pilots and wholesale CBDC systems • SWIFT, Fedwire, TARGET2 and other interbank settlement rails • Commercial bank custody, correspondent banking, and clearinghouses Platforms & Systems • Stablecoins issued by private entities holding off chain reserves • Custodial redemption systems dependent on banking partners • Centralized mint and burn permissions • CBDC architectures often designed around permissioned databases • Cross border transfers routed through layered financial intermediaries What’s Broken / Innovation Gaps • Stablecoin reserves require trust in issuer disclosures • Redemption depends on regulated banking access • Freezes and blacklists can be executed centrally • Cross chain liquidity fragments stability across ecosystems • CBDC pilots often replicate centralized database models • Cross border settlement remains slow despite digital representation Where Stablecoin & CBDC Systems Can Still Innovate and Where Kaspa Could Help ❌ Stablecoins rely on issuer trust and opaque reserve management Users depend on attestations and third party audits. ✅ Kaspa could anchor reserve attestations, proof of liabilities, and supply disclosures in a globally ordered ledger, strengthening public verifiability without replacing regulatory frameworks. ❌ Minting and burning are centrally controlled Issuers retain unilateral control over supply adjustments. ✅ vProgs may support transparent, deterministic mint and burn conditions, where supply logic is enforced by publicly auditable rules rather than discretionary actions. ❌ Cross border settlement remains dependent on correspondent banking Even digital dollars often settle through traditional rails. ✅ Kaspa’s RTD model could support near real time base layer settlement between institutions, reducing reliance on multi layer reconciliation systems. ❌ Liquidity is fragmented across chains and custodians Bridging introduces counterparty risk and systemic exposure. ✅ Kaspa’s high throughput blockDAG architecture would support native stable asset issuance at scale, reducing dependency on external bridging layers. ❌ CBDC systems risk becoming centralized surveillance databases Many pilots are structured around permissioned architectures. ✅ A Kaspa anchored infrastructure could separate identity management from settlement ordering, allowing public verifiability of monetary events without exposing transactional identities by default. ❌ Interbank reconciliation is complex and delayed Wholesale settlement often involves batch processing and reconciliation windows. ✅ DagKnight strengthened consensus will provide consistent global ordering of institutional settlement events, supporting synchronized reporting and reconciliation across jurisdictions. www.kaspa.org
