Kaspa-NG has an active PR here to update it to be toccata ready. github.com/aspectron/kaspa-n… Once its reviewed it will be pushed to the master branch. It is recommended to wait for the official release before using. Keep checking here for the update - github.com/aspectron/kaspa-n…
Great video. Will Kaspa-ng be usable?

The hard fork is expected to have consensus all around therefore you do not need to do anything with your $KAS. Wallets typically connect to public Kaspa nodes which will be updating.

Do I need to do anything with my coins or just leave them alone

$KAS is approaching closer to Toccata going live on mainnet. One final hardfork test is being done on testnet-10 happening today! Testnet-10 source: github.com/kaspanet/rusty-ka… CPU miner for testnet-10: github.com/kaspanet/cpuminer…
The Toccata hardfork stack is now ready, and we’re entering the final stage before mainnet activation: a full hardfork activation on Testnet-10. The scheduled activation point is: May 18, 2026, 16:00 UTC DAA Score: 467_579_632 Everyone is welcome to join and mine on testnet, so we can verify the transition works fine before mainnet activation. I wrote detailed instructions for joining as a testnet miner (Link in reply)

Kaspa.org has been refreshed. Kaspa has a lot going on, but the main site does not need to put it all at the front door. Its first job is simple: help someone arrive, understand what Kaspa is, and know where to go next. The previous site accumulated more over time. Pages, explanations, resources, and audiences were added. This version starts smaller, so it can grow with Kaspa from here. The refresh is not just visual. The wording, structure, and narrative direction all needed attention IMO. The content traces back to @hashdag’s writing, simplified for a first read. Kaspa is already deep enough. The first read should not make people work harder than necessary. There are many true ways to talk about Kaspa, but Kaspa.org cannot carry twenty narratives at once. For this version, the strongest one to unify around is real-time decentralisation. Part of the refresh was also about making the builder path easier to follow. Kaspa.org gives people the overview of what exists, why it matters, and where to go next. Docs.kaspa.org gives builders the deeper material, with room for examples, detail, and ongoing improvement. Docs.kaspa.org starts with @IzioDev's work and has the broader goal of bringing important Kaspa L1 builder documentation into one place. Both repos are public. Pages will be added, wording will change, gaps will be filled, and the work can happen in the open. Big shoutout to @kasmediadotcom for their support in helping bring this refresh together. Have a look around. If you see something that can be better, please open an issue or PR.

Feature freeze is here for Toccata! This means that no further consensus rule changes will be made as preparations are being made for the Toccata hard fork. Toccata is going to bring loads of features to Kaspa such as ZK proofs, Programmable UTXOs, and more!
Toccata consensus feature freeze is finally here after a heroic last-mile push by kas core devs. Aiming to reset TN12 tonight, or tomorrow at the latest. Genesis update: 0x6b617370612d746573746e6574 // kaspa-testnet - 12, 2 // TN12, Launch 2 0x544f4343415441 // TOCCATA 12, 3 // TN12, Launch 3

Michael Sutton from Kaspa Core delivered an article giving an outlook for the upcoming "Toccata" hard fork which includes covenants, based zk apps, and why the start date was moved. "Kaspa Covenants “Toccata” Hard-Fork Outlook" medium.com/@michaelsuttonil/…

Kaspa stays true to Nakamoto's vision: pure decentralized scaling through blockDAG innovation, not hype or shortcuts.
I’m following #Kaspa because it truly follows the Nakamoto path. Its blend of visionary research and solid engineering is a rare find in the crypto space. Godspeed.

Keystone has announced their efforts to integrate Kaspa to their wallet. Keystone is a fully open source air gapped wallet. Software and hardware can be verified by the public.
📢 Big News for Kaspians 𐤊 Our integration work with Kaspa has been accelerating. So far, we have completed the dev work: address generation, public key export, and transaction parsing design. Moving forward, we're partnering with Kaspium Wallet to enable true self-custody and cold storage of your Kaspa assets through PSKT protocol support 🤝 The long-awaited transaction parsing feature has been set as one of our key milestones. With Keystone’s 4-inch screen, blind signing becomes a thing of the past! Exciting developments and challenges lie ahead, and we'll keep you posted every step of the way. Share this with your Kaspa friends and let them know that Keystone support is coming 🙌

Kaspa Eco Foundation concluded a grant that was given to a @eliottmea related to oracles. The grant was well spent and much research resulted from it! Read more about it below!
Today we're concluding a research grant extended to @eliottmea, who picked up a very challenging topic to work on: how to build an effective oracle? Over the course of the grant, our talented young researcher put his discoveries in two documents: the first, A Mathematically Rigorous Framework for Cross-Exchange Price Discovery, proposes a framework for aggregating prices across multiple exchanges into a single manipulation-resistant feed, anchored by a decentralized arbitrage network, and the second, Incentive Compatibility in a Discriminatory Limit-Order Auction, takes a mechanism design lens — asking whether it's possible to construct an auction where honest price reporting simply becomes the rational thing to do. Read here: github.com/elimmea/oracle At @Kaspa_KEF, we believe investing in #Kaspa means investing in faithful talents who are dedicated in #Kaspa. We're proud to have supported @eliottmea in this work, and we look forward to seeing more promising research proposals!

The anticipated covenants hard fork will not be May 5th but about a month later. No dates given are ever absolute. Much testing and research is always involved which can always push things back. Stay in tune with Kaspa Core developments via Telegram: t.me/kasparnd

Rusty Kaspa v1.1.0 is out. Faster syncing, less storage, and exchanges/wallets building on Kaspa just got a much easier time of it. The big one for integrators is a new API call that returns chain updates and transaction data together in one go, instead of having to juggle multiple parallel requests. If you've ever tried to integrate Kaspa and cursed at the DAG complexity, this is the fix. Node operators get up to 3x faster sync in the early header stage on some machines, plus lower disk usage. The stratum bridge also shipped as beta if you're running mining infrastructure. One heads-up - DB version bumped to 6. Upgrade is automatic, but you can't roll back to an older version without wiping the DB. github.com/kaspanet/rusty-ka…

All AI agents will require economic and physical defensive skin in the game systems as their mark of beast to maintain cybersecurity and combat hoaxes. This is definitely the future. However, I think Kaspa will do a better job at it than Bitcoin as real-time synchronicity will be necessary.
Bitcoin isn’t just Internet Money It might actually be a new kind of power - like a digital weapon or shield that countries can use to protect themselves online. In a Age of AI Agents - we're going to need an effective digital shield! The author of a new paper: "Beyond Money, Hedge, and Energy: Evaluating Bitcoin as Power Projection Technology" evaluates Jason Lowery's 2023 "SOFTWAR" theory that said Bitcoin should be understood as a way to project physical power into cyberspace. Normally, computers run on “rules” and software. But Bitcoin works differently. It uses huge amounts of real electricity and energy to secure its network. That means attacking Bitcoin isn’t just about hacking code - you would have to spend massive amounts of real-world energy and money to overpower it. The paper tests whether that theory was right by looking at what happened between 2023 and 2026. Here’s what actually happened: 1) The United States created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (basically treating Bitcoin like a national resource, similar to oil). 2) Countries like Bhutan secretly mined Bitcoin using hydroelectric power. 3) Over 145 public companies added Bitcoin to their balance sheets. 4) Huge investment funds (like BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF) bought tens of billions of dollars worth. 5) Global Bitcoin mining power (called “hash rate”) hit record highs - even while the price dropped. That’s important. The price of Bitcoin fell about 46% during this time. But governments and big institutions were buying more of it anyway. According to the paper, that suggests they may see Bitcoin as something strategic - not just an investment. The paper says older ways of thinking about Bitcoin don’t explain this behavior: It’s not just money. It’s not just a speculative investment. It’s not just bad for the environment. It’s not just a tech experiment. Instead, the author says Bitcoin may be more like digital territory protected by energy. If you control energy and computing power, you help protect the network. Countries might compete for that power the same way they compete for oil, weapons, or technology. The paper checked nine predictions made in 2023 about what would happen if Bitcoin really was a “power projection technology.” Five of those predictions already came true. One partly happened. Three haven’t happened yet.
