Thrilled to host @asaefstroem, a protocol developer and ZK engineer, author of KIP-16, ZK verification opcodes in Kaspa L1. He will deliver a talk "A Path Down Covenant Road: What Covenants & ZK Unlock on Post-Toccata Kaspa" at our Kaspa x Igra day, June 19 at Berlin Blockchain Week. Register here: luma.com/q8zh39zs
Toccata is arguably one of the biggest and most anticipated upgrades $KAS has shipped. Covenants ZK opcodes change what you can build on it. I’m speaking at this Berlin Blockchain Week workshop, breaking down how they actually work and where the sharp edges are. What do you most want covered? 👇

Full Igra node running in two minutes is the kind of setup experience we're building for. See you in Berlin @MHiesboeck
Just in time before my trip to Berlin ✈️ to meet the team of @Igra_Labs i’ve successfully finished setting up my own node $KAS It took me exactly 2 minutes with the help of AI.

Continuous Clearing Markets begin to take shape. Zealous Flow testnet is live, putting the CCM primitive in front of real flow (sic!) for the first time. An interesting approach to the AMM tradeoffs.
🚨 INCIDENT REPORT 🚨 STATUS: Containment Breached. Flow Testnet is LIVE. DETAILS: We've officially deployed the Zealous Flow Testnet on Igra Galleon. KNOWN IMPACT: We are aggressively stress-testing the hull. Expect turbulence over the next few weeks, scheduled downtimes, network resets, and heavy config updates are imminent. We're intentionally breaking things now so they are bulletproof later. 🛠️ REMEDIATION / ACTION REQUIRED: 1️⃣ Enter the Flow: flow-testnet.zealousswap.com… 2️⃣ Load the cannons, claim iKAS & USDC: faucet.zealousswap.com/ 3️⃣ Submit damage reports & feedback: forms.gle/LqP5tsywW5tgRhcv6 Help us push the limits. 🚢🔥

Proposal accepted and executed.
DAO proposal to extend the voting period to 96 hours is live: governance.igralabs.com/prop… Background The current 36-hour voting window has proven too short for globally distributed token holders to participate meaningfully, especially across weekends and timezones. This Proposal Extends the IGRA governance voting period from 36 hours to 96 hours. The 12-hour voting delay is unchanged. 96 hours covers a full weekend in any timezone and gives delegators and operators a realistic window to review, discuss, and vote. Action if passed: Governance.setVotingPeriod(345600), setting the active voting window to 96 hours. Applies to future proposals only. Who can vote on this proposal? Any IGRA holder. Voting opens in 6 hours.

The DAA “Score” is more than a score… 474,165,565 An epic score for an epic fork! BWV 565 is Bach’s famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, probably the most recognizable “Toccata” reference in Western music. The Netherlands Bach Society lists it as BWV 565, titled Toccata and fugue in D minor, for organ. youtu.be/Nnuq9PXbywA?si=fJCD…
**Official Toccata Release — Mainnet Hardfork Activation Included** (Links in reply) We’re excited to announce the official Kaspa release containing the **Toccata Hardfork** activation logic. Toccata is scheduled to activate on mainnet at DAA score `474,165,565`, expected around **June 30, 2026, 16:15 UTC**. This is a consensus-changing upgrade. All node operators, miners, pools, exchanges, indexers, wallets, and infrastructure providers must upgrade before activation to remain compatible with the network. Toccata introduces a major expansion of Kaspa L1 capabilities, including: • **Native L1 covenant support** through transaction introspection, allowing for more expressive contracts, including stateful contracts • **Covenant IDs**, providing stable covenant lineage across UTXO transitions, so covenant instances can preserve continuity as their state moves from one UTXO to the next • **ZK proof verification on L1** via `OpZkPrecompile`, enabling to trustlessly offload computation off-chain. • **Partitioned sequencing commitments**, improving support for based ZK applications by making lane-local proving scale with relevant activity rather than global throughput Please upgrade as soon as possible and verify your nodes are running the new release well before the activation DAA score. Thank you to everyone who contributed to designing, implementing, reviewing, and testing Toccata.

Relentlessly working on @kaspa_stream, lots of backend work going on (including on api.kaspa.org). Most invisible though, BUT as part of reworking the node discovery / display, one small new feature emerged: Your node is highlighted when found. kaspa.stream/nodes

Alright, who took ashton.igra ? Let's make a deal.
The Igra Explorer now supports .igra name resolution via INS (Igra Name Service), example: explorer.igralabs.com/addres… What's new: - Address pages show .igra names next to addresses (e.g. insdomains.igra instead of 0x7447...aA1) - Type any .igra name in the search bar to find the associated address - Token instance pages with NFT owner fields show .igra names How it works: Names appear automatically for any address whose owner has called setPrimary() on the INS V2 ReverseResolver. Set your primary name at insdomains.org/domains.
