Hello world. It is time. Igra Genesis and TGE are this Wednesday, February 26th. You're all invited. Our genesis block carries an inscription from Deuteronomy 22:8 in Aramaic: "When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof." We build with that in mind. Here's the sequence: - Code, configuration, and bootstrap scripts are frozen. Nothing changes from here. - New nodes launch with public RPC endpoints and block explorer. - Nodes begin mining blocks. - Once the network reaches DAA score threshold, core contracts deploy, including IGRA token contract, minting vaults and DAO governance. - IGRA is minted and distributed into the pools. - IGRA is allocated to all direct early round participants. Genesis parameters are cryptographically committed and locked. The entire bootstrap is trustless and deterministic. Every step is verifiable on-chain, in real time. On Wednesday we lay the foundation for the fair, scalable and permissionless economy. See you on-chain.

Launching Today: WarpCore: ISO 20022 In. Kaspa Finality Out. Today we’re launching WarpCore (Phase 1) in a sandbox environment for financial institutions. WarpCore acts as a universal adapter: ISO 20022 ⇄ deterministic Kaspa logic. Banks keep their existing messaging, controls, and compliance pipelines - while settling verifiable, immutable financial events on Kaspa at incredible speed, without compromising decentralisation. Secured by Proof of Work. This is not a new rail. It’s a translation layer. Legacy systems in. Cryptographic finality out. More to come... #kaspa $kas #xrp #ada #xlm #iso20022

@binance, Thanks for including me in the top 100 blockchain people list, appreciate the signal! I must decline the Dubai invite though. I do not wish to disrespect, but many of the award voters are avid kaspians who rooted for my kaspa status at least as much as for my research. Let them win or count me out. Crypto has turned from a euphoric cypherpunk project to a house-friendly casino. You may not be the culprit, but as a top player you hold the lion’s share of the responsibility to correct this, and the October crash your USDe oracle glitch helped trigger adds to what needs to be addressed. There are three classes of crypto, as @mert put it recently: commercial crypto, casino crypto, cypherpunk crypto. <<Binance should hold a privilege policy for the latter.>> A TBTF CEX should know better and play a different game with hardcore crypto projects. When binance lists a green frog three weeks post its “launch” but skips a fair-launched-Nakamoto-Consensus-100ms-upgrade-ATH-top-20-the-only-nonbitcoin-marathon-mined project, this is not merely binance rationally calculating; it is also binance molding the market in a way that is alas misaligned with the roots of the movement. You may feel that kaspa’s sovereign money thesis is boring – that bitcoin is already money and that implementing an internet-speed bitcoin is useless - fine. Wrong but fine. But what’s the thesis for the green frog? Money is a classic chicken-and-egg product. It is a scam up until one moment before tipping point, “most of the value comes from the value that others place in it.” Considering your resources and influence, I think it's safe to say you can serve as both the egg and the chicken and make it worth your while to push sound attempts towards tipping point. @cz_binance tweeted recently that “strong projects will be listed.” But binance is part of what defines "strong", it bears responsibility for the market’s compass and impulse and definition of strong. It is not a read-only entity. Binance listing fees are legit, they are just unfit for category cypherpunk. Kaspa devs and early supporters fairly mined less than half what satoshi and hals mined. We don’t have a 20% ZEC-style founders’ reward or protocol-enforced dev fund; this is not a jab at ZEC and the wonderful @Zooko, who was crashing in my car on a late Thursday back in the low ZEC MC days – if somebody deserves to win it is zooko – but assuming binance is not taking a maxi bet, it should revisit its relationship with hardcore crypto. We are here through bull and bear, ICOs NFTs XYZs; and we are the source of confidence that restores faith and capital inflow post meme-induced or CEX-induced crashes. Please fix this. Thanks again, hashdag cc @michaelsuttonil Exhibit A: Binance Innovation Zone Exhibit B: 10 bps Nakamoto Consensus

Hey Elon, We know you love Bitcoin. But you're hesitant for whatever reason - maybe it's too slow and can't scale on base layer? If you're looking for something that has all the positive features of Bitcoin (proof of work, fair launched, debasement proof) AND can scale on base layer, you should look into #Kaspa. $KAS is decentralized, secure, AND scalable (solving the blockchain trilemma). Kaspa has <1 second block confirmations and has final settlement on the base layer. It uses a new protocol to order blocks in parallel and enables significantly higher throughput on the base layer. It's revolutionary and worth studying - even if just for fun. Who knows, it might help you with launching rockets to Mars. Happy to chat if you have questions or want to dig deeper!

Update from the Kaspa Industrial Initiative (Kii) We have officially applied to join the European Central Bank’s Pontes Market Contact Group - for shaping how wholesale financial transactions will settle in central bank money on DLT platforms. Pontes is the ECB’s short-term track for interoperability between market DLTs and the traditional financial system. For Kii, this is where WarpCore plays a crucial role: our ISO 20022-compliant bridge that links TradFi → Kaspa’s BlockDAG. Why this matters: Creates a standards-based channel for financial institutions to interact with Kaspa. Enables stablecoin issuance and wholesale settlement rails aligned with ECB frameworks. Provides the backbone for future carbon and energy market integrations, where Kaspa’s architecture offers unique scaling advantages. In parallel, we’ve made strong progress on the architecture for carbon markets, but in the near term, ISO 20022 connectivity is the highest priority. It builds the foundation for the next phases — stablecoin deployment, carbon credits, and eventually energy market tokenisation. #Kaspa #DLT #ECB #ISO20022 #WarpCore #Stablecoin #Carbon #Energy

Thank you all for joining today’s speech about what Kasplex is. Sadly the livestream wasn’t provided in due time but we will post the recording very soon. We are proud and excited to announce our L2 launch mainnet date. This is possible thanks to the incredible work of our team who worked diligently for the last 6 months, non stop, no vacation, full dedication for what we believe in. We would like to say thank you to everyone who believes in Kaspa and its potential and we welcome all of you to explore it. The wait is over. Smart contracts on $kas via Kasplex L2 will happen on 👇 31st August 2025

Raw thoughts re Kaspa’s next big upgrade(s) You don’t end on a crescendo, and it is no secret that several anticipated upgrades are waiting on the sidelines for Kaspa. Primarily, the Dagknight (DK) protocol and the ZK L1<>L2 bridge. These two major endeavors may look independent, but I see strong merit in bundling them into a single hardfork (reasons below). I also argue this bundled effort is the right window to incorporate the foundational L1 changes needed to support ongoing research into MEV‑resistance and oracle‑voting. A word on deferring DK to this point. I acknowledge that per past statements we expected to be post‑DK by now. Context for the long delay: (1) after the Rust rewrite, moving from 1→10 bps (blocks/sec) was too natural a follow‑up to ignore, and I dove into ~1‑year of work there. (2) Strong community push for smart contracts; in the absence of formal committees planning the next phase we reasoned that prioritizing smart contract enablement would let a builder community form around the Kaspa app layer, and that unleashing this potential (and its ripple effects) would let us refocus on L1 perfection without bottlenecking ecosystem growth. This post provides a bird’s‑eye overview of active upcoming Kaspa R&D efforts and sketches their relation graph. DK: Dagknight is a ’22 ordering‑protocol research paper by myself & @hashdag; it evolves GHOSTDAG (GD). A (mostly written) follow‑up post will deep‑dive DK across: - practical benefits / applications of its abstract “no a priori delay bound” property - a breakdown into four main components → raw development phases - broader system / consensus implications - applied research for efficient incremental algorithms (notably the cascade voting procedure) - protocol (and paper) relaxations / simplifications - “resistance to Internet chaos”: practical limits engineering caveats ZK: In the past year, there has been an ongoing publicly visible effort to establish the landscape of ZK over Kaspa. The results of these efforts can mostly be viewed in Kaspa’s research forum under the L1<>L2 category. Kaspa’s approach is to support based ZK rollups, where “based” means the ZK layers / rollups / dapps fully commit to L1 sequencing—so L1 serves all three roles: sequencing, data availability, settlement. The base mechanisms to support this are largely established. The main area still under heavy research is atomic / synchronous composability (multi‑rollup transactions that land atomically). Explaining the vision and mapping current research there deserves its own dedicated post. Why bundle DK ZK: Their technical complexities barely overlap, so development can proceed in parallel and merge cleanly. That’s the engineering case. There is also a safety case: we (strongly) conjecture DK yields faster practical convergence of total DAG ordering. Under normal operation the delta is likely inconsequential; under powerful attack attempts DK’s convergence could be much faster—possibly by orders of magnitude. Faster convergence of total order is especially valuable for smart‑contract systems that are highly order‑sensitive. This further strengthens the case for linking the two upgrades. Additional elements that should ship with them are support for reverse MEV auctions and oracle voting mechanisms (two of @hashdag’s ongoing research efforts with @yaish_aviv and @elimmea respectively; see his recent Sydney/HK talks), seizing the opportunity to address some of DeFi’s hardest problems using Kaspa’s unique structure. Once full smart contracts are live we will inevitably inherit the MEV oracle weak spots seen elsewhere. By making a few minimal, high‑leverage consensus changes now, we can “apply the remedy before the blow”. Engineering cost here is negligible relative to DK ZK while ecosystem upside is large. Here is how we can approach each: MEV. Proposed approach: reverse auctions in which miners offer kickbacks to users for transaction‑ordering (or bundle) rights. Kaspa’s parallel 10 bps DAG already produces intra‑round competition; formalizing a kickback path captures that value for users instead of private orderflow brokers. L1 requirements are small: add a canonical kickback route and a deterministic auction‑ordering rule in consensus (how to rank conflicting bids; details are still open afaik). Game‑theoretic refinements can follow post‑fork, but a base path should exist in my opinion. Oracles. The strategy for oracles is to leverage Kaspa’s high bps to enable a robust, real-time attestation network, with data aggregated from numerous miners each round. From an L1 perspective, the main consideration is whether to tie this system to PoW for greater security/sybil resistance. The practical step would be to add miner voting mechanics at the consensus level. This is a low-cost, preparatory change that provides significant future flexibility for L2 oracle designs. ————— Overall I expect dk/zk branches to begin landing soon in rk’s main repository. Looking forward to this turning into a beautiful decentralized open source coding voyage
