We've just crossed $2,000,0000 TVL on Kaskad Thank you for your support! Remember: 13D, 5H remaining before the end of our first Epoch, after what those who've kept their supply & borrow positions on Kaskad will get to claim their first KSKD allocation. Iygwg* *If you grow we grow

since many (~4) asked me about the zcash bug - - - earlier this year I had this convo with a zcash core dev: zk: it's weird that kaspa is pruning past records me: why does it need to keep 'em? zk: the whole point of ledgers is to prove correctness of all state transitions me: the whole point of ledgers is to provide focal points for the consensus state zk: the whole point... me: hmm then why did you come work in zcash? you know the Sprout->Sapling counterfeiting bug zk: Turnstile guarantees that the counterfeit could have been very limited me: true but you still cannot prove or even reason about correct state transitions besides the total supply cap zk: that's actually a good point ---- the most hardcore cryptography coin is shifting away from correctness proofs to practical-enough proofs. I believe this is a step in the right practical direction, yet the paradigm shift should not go unnoticed - -cryptography is giving way to consensus. if you came to zcash for cryptographic integrity, reconsider. there are many good reasons to root for zcash prospering. zcash is serving a more important role than bitcoin, whose utility for the original mission is by now blurry. cryptographic integrity is/should not be one of those reasons. ---- BTW the bug should definitely have been exploited. I don't know the personal values of Taylor Hornby, and I shouldn't be required to make the effort to learn them. I only know that if I found such an exploit, it wouldn't take me more than a few minutes to tempt myself into printing a longint amount of ZEC and deciding later what to do with it. I wouldn't necessarily use it to exit the pool immediately and corrupt the supply, I'd wait to see if some portion of the broken pool does not seem to migrate on time (probably lost funds), in which case I would not think twice before claiming the funds myself. you could argue that no harm done, and you might be right, but then again you are here -- in zcash / in crypto -- for its consensus dynamics, the ability to coordinate interests and convictions across different trust zones around some shared asset; not for some pristine mathematical integrity.

**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.

All that energy hash rate only for bitcoiners to shill the lightning network to noobs which uses exactly zero hashrate

Kaspa Toccata mainnet process update: Today we plan to publish the v1.3.0 mainnet pre-release, without activation, for 1–2 days of broader network sanity testing. Assuming everything looks good, the following release will be v2.0.0, with activation planned for June 30, 4 weeks from today

🚨 Kaspa’s largest wallet (Entity X) has just bought 5.4 million $KAS coins from Bybit. Their previous accumulation was on April 17, making this their first major purchase in over six weeks.

Who can get in contact with @kevinolearytv? I think he is looking for kaspa:native and can't seem to find it yet. Maybe @DiiDesertEnergy or @pvson ?

Caught up with Junny (JH) @oneforonehaha from the Kaspa Ecosystem Foundation @Kaspa_KEF at the Unchained Summit here in Da Nang, Vietnam. Great to finally meet face-to-face and hear him speak in person. The presentation was a solid reminder that the Kaspa ecosystem is evolving far beyond just another crypto project. What stood out was the focus on real infrastructure, scalability, and building long-term utility around Proof of Work - not sacrificing decentralization for speed. A lot of people still don’t fully grasp what’s being built: - Parallel BlockDAG architecture - High throughput PoW - Near instant confirmations - Fair launch distribution - Native programmability on the horizon - Growing L2 and ecosystem development You can feel the momentum building around developers, infrastructure, and real-world use cases. The conversations at events like this make it clear - the ecosystem is still early, but the foundations being laid are serious. Big respect to JH and the KEF team for continuing to push the ecosystem forward. 🇻🇳 $KAS @UnchainedSummit

🤳 In my previous video, I walked through how to borrow $USDT against $KAS on @AppKaskad using @KastleWallet mobile app. In today's video, I am supplying $USDT on Kaskad directly from my smartphone and earning yield through the protocol. A simple way to put idle stablecoins to work within the growing Kaspa DeFi ecosystem. 🚀

Here is the link for our FIRST #Kaspa Coherence Circle: youtube.com/live/LB0mh_5LrHY….

💰 The TVL of the EVM layer @Igra_Labs on $KAS is now $1.95m according to @DefiLlama. Protocols included are @ZealousSwap, @AppKaskad and @KaspaCom.

$KAS is internet speed digital money that lets you transfer value, communications, or verifications without middlemen being able to censor your activity.

You voiced it. We listened. iKAS max supply has now been raised to 15M. Effective immediatly. Liquidity awaits 👉 app.kaskad.live Together we scale #KAS

🤳 Now that the Kastle Wallet app added @AppKaskad to its Explore section, you can borrow against your $KAS directly from your smartphone. The video below shows me borrowing 4.3 $USDT against 469 $KAS using @KastleWallet app. Enjoy!
