3 days ago @kaspaunchained shipped Toccata and $KAS became programmable.

Problem: nobody can actually see it. Nodes don't expose covenants, explorers just show you a hash, and history gets pruned after 3 days.

So I built kascov, a smart coin explorer for Kaspa 🔭👇

[Knitser @0xKnitser]

@XSeyvion For sure!

[Knitser @0xKnitser]

Kaspa covenants just got a real toolbox.

kascov shipped 5 things: a spend simulator, verified contracts, a visual script debugger, based-app analytics, and an on-chain ZK explorer.

Most don't exist for any chain's covenants yet. What they are + why 🧵https://t.co/WPHKNWdoWe

@KASPAglobal I built something you might like 💯

[Knitser @0xKnitser]

in the demo it's a keypair generated on the spot. it runs solo, so you play the arbiter (seller's a throwaway). the contract commits to the arbiter's pubkey hash, so only that key can ever settle. in a real escrow you'd point it at a trusted third party or multisig. L1 enforces the rest.

[Knitser @0xKnitser]

the escrow in this video settles itself on Kaspa L1 — arbiter signs, the contract forces the payout. no middleman.

and now you can run the exact same thing. one command:

cargo run -p kascov-lab -- escrow-demo

deploy → settle → revealed on-chain. 🔭 $KAS

@MoonKing___ 🙏 you nailed it. and it just got a lot deeper today: a spend simulator, verified contracts, a visual script debugger, based-app lane analytics + an on-chain ZK explorer. covenants you can reason about now, not just watch.

[Knitser @0xKnitser]

Why it matters

Toccata turned Kaspa coins into programmable objects: identity, introspection, on-chain ZK. The tooling to see and reason about them didn't exist.

Now it does. Open, free, no keys.

On-chain zero-knowledge, decoded

KIP-16 lets a Kaspa script verify a ZK proof on-chain. kascov detects it and names the system, Groth16 or RISC Zero; on real mainnet coins.

@ldhawan thank you!

the new kascov, top to bottom 🔭

explore every smart coin on Kaspa L1 · decode any contract · build your own in one command · and a real developer API for all of it... no keys, CORS open.

freshly redesigned. https://t.co/ucPi1HUEz1 kaspa:native

[Knitser @0xKnitser]

everything's open source, testnet is free, and the whole loop is documented now:

decode → edit → deploy → run. go make a smart coin. 🔭

[Knitser @0xKnitser]

want to choose the parameters yourself? https://t.co/LUDTOTYGzv → "make a Mecenas / Escrow / LastWill" → edit the fields in your browser (verified on every keystroke) → copy the deploy + spend commands it hands you. contracts you can read, change, and run.
