Kasplex has officially launched its Layer 2 public testnet: Kasplex zkEVM, a fully EVM compatible Based Rollup built on the Kaspa Network.
This marks a major milestone on the road to mainnet and a pivotal step in bringing smart contract functionality to Kaspa.
Kasplex zkEVM introduces:
- Full EVM equivalence. Deploy Ethereum-native contracts with minimal changes
- Bridged
$KAS as the native testnet token
- Integration with all standard EVM wallets (e.g., MetaMask, Hardhat)
- Decentralised sequencing and data availability anchored to Kaspa L1
- Live faucet, explorer, and growing developer tooling
...and many more

This testnet is not just a preview. It's a live environment for developers and infrastructure teams to deploy, experiment, and stress test smart contracts and DeFi protocols in real-world conditions.
We invite the broader community to actively engage with the testnet, report bugs, and help refine performance, tooling, and reliability.
Kasplex zkEVM is designed for long-term scalability and decentralisation, eliminating centralised sequencers while inheriting Kaspa’s security model and high-throughput DAG architecture.
Let’s build.
