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

[coderofstuff @coderofstuff_]

Update: Testnet 10 underwent the Toccata hardfork about 30mins ago and everything’s still running like clockwork. Transition was smooth and seamless.

This seamlessness is the standard that kaspa devs set. It’s easy to take it for granted so I want to take this moment to recognize the effort and due diligence that went into making this happen @michaelsuttonil @OriNewman @Max143672 @IzioDev @FreshAir08 @manyfest_ @hus_qy (and sorry if I missed anyone)

Mainnet HF soon

"Kaspa lost its transaction data"
you’ve heard it a hundred times.

I built an interactive explainer walking through the real story ::: the bug, the recovery, and why the UTXO set proves the supply is correct regardless.

Beginners welcome
Enjoy #Kaspa

Sharing my experience trying out the new stablecoin bridge by Kurve/@kasplex

$KAS

[Kasplex @kasplex]

Based on the bridge standards established by @circle and @tether , we’ve successfully developed and launched a stablecoin bridge on $kas

A big thank you to the @circle team for their valuable support throughout this process.

At launch, the bridge supports the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20 standard).

We’re also planning to integrate TRC20 and ERC20 support in the near future.
Detailed documentation covering fee structure, risks, and the full bridging mechanism will be released shortly.

While the bridge is live and available for use today, we recommend waiting about a week (±) for the complete stable bridge rollout.

MEXC HAS FROZEN MY $300,000 AND DEMANDED 40% TO RELEASE IT

MEXC locked my account holding approx. $300,000. I fully complied with their verification process and submitted every document they requested.

Days later, their support lead contacted me directly on my registered phone number and demanded 40% of my funds in exchange for unfreezing my account.

This is unacceptable.

I have filed complaints, yet my account remains frozen and my funds are still being withheld.

WhiteWhale exposed serious issues with MEXC months ago, but not enough people paid attention. How many more users need to be affected before this is taken seriously?

I am calling on everyone:

Repost this.
Share your experiences.
Delete the MEXC app.
Drop screenshots below.

Let MEXC and its CEO “TT” know that the community will not stay silent while users are being mistreated.

We will not allow this to continue.

Pretty disgusting behaviour from @binance to not even give a reply or even try to refute anything @hashdag said.

Even $KAS disappeared tomorrow he would still go down as a legend for not licking Binance's ball sack like the rest of the cryptosphere

[Rover of Kaspa @RoverofKaspa]

This will go down not just as the most shameful day for @binance, but one of the darkest moments in all of crypto history.

Dr. Yonatan Sompolinsky of Kaspa won the Independent Researcher category.
He earned it. The community voted for him. His message shook the industry.

And yet on stage… he was silenced. Censored. Erased.

First place was publicly handed to the runner-up while the actual winner was never even mentioned.

Yonatan’s response on X has nearly matched the views of Binance’s original post featuring Saylor and CZ but at the ceremony, he was treated as if he didn’t exist.

This is how cypherpunk voices are punished in 2025. This is what happens when truth threatens the casino.

Remember this moment. History will.

[Chad Ballantyne @ChadBallantyne]

I’ve have been thinking a lot about what happened with the Binance Top 100 contest. Yonatan Sompolinsky (@hashdag ) Kaspa founder, was voted the number one independent researcher. @michaelsuttonil was voted the number three industry advocate. Both results came straight from the community, not from an exchange or a marketing machine.

Then Yonatan publicly said he would not attend the Binance event where the awards were going to be handed out. It was mostly a protest against exchanges listing silly meme coins while ignoring this century’s greatest advancements in internet speed digital money. Calling them out from going wayward from the original version of cryptocurrency.

This weekend Binance gave the trophy to the second place winner and never mentioned Yonatan at all.

There is a lot wrapped up in that moment.

Right after Yonatan’s protestpost, @Kaspa_Commons used a simple phrase in a post as an acknowledgment to the potential for Kaspa to find greater use cases outside Cryptoland and as a small dig at the exchange.

Nov. 7
Can you imagine?!
"Tokens backed by real multibillion dollar assets that actually have utility and generate revenues for decades."
@Kaspa_Commons can.
@KaspaKii can.
👋🏼Bye-nance, enjoy Cryptoland and your millions.

That simple tag, “Bye-nance”, seemed to resonate and a small rebellion started. Bye-nance was a direct message, a goodbye to Binance that encouraged others to step away.

After the award ceremony failed to mention Yonatan’s name, the community responded in force. That little pebble dropped in the pond was becoming a tsunami. A huge wave of Kaspians have been dropping the tag and deleting their accounts and Binance is clearly not thrilled about it. We have yet to verify this, but I heard that Binance approached @Kaspa_KEF reps to ask them to encourage the community to stand down. 🤣

But the bigger story is what this whole episode reveals.

First, the Kaspa community is one of the most engaged and passionate groups in the entire blockchain space. The voting proved it. The unified response after the snub proved it. People showed up for Yonatan because he has shown up for the principles that matter.

Second, this was a chance for crypto to take a stand again. Yonatan did. It reminded me that Bitcoin began as a protest against captured institutions. It was a push for self sovereignty, economic freedom, and independence from the usual gatekeepers. Over time, the space drifted. Memes, speculation, and exchange driven hype drowned out the deeper purpose.

Seeing the reaction this week makes it clear that a new wave of cypherpunks is rising again. Builders who care about research, engineering, and integrity. Researchers like Yonatan. Developers like Michael Sutton. And communities like Kaspa. People who want crypto and blockchain tech to mean something again.

Third, the whole thing exposed the true nature of some of these L1 exchanges and classic crypto in general. The incentives. The politics. The greed. The selective celebration. The silence when the results do not serve their interests. Many people are looking at that and deciding they are done.

So let us not waste this moment. What we just saw is a big opportunity. An opportunity to show the strength of our community. It is obvious. An opportunity to reintroduce a modern cypherpunk spirit. It is happening. An opportunity to shine a light on the difference between real builders, real solutions, and the bad actors inside the Cryptoland circus.

The original Bitcoin movement of protest was against real world finance and government control. It is interesting and ironic that Kaspa’s latest protest is against the dark side of Cryptoland itself.

Let us not waste this moment. And even though we are focused on one exchange and their actions, we need to turn our backs on the entire Cryptoland mindset.

Let us start here. Everyone, say it with me. 👋🏼 Bye-nance

[Yonatan Sompolinsky @hashdag]

@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

[Igra Labs @Igra_Labs]

Hello world! Today we're publishing Igra Litepaper v1.
It outlines our modular architecture (ViaDuct, Gateway, ATAN nodes), bridging mechanisms (community, MPC, and future ZK), and dual-token design ($iKAS / $IGRA).

Read it here: https://t.co/sQs6L7t3IP

We began this paper before writing a single line of code. It's gone through countless iterations and remains a living draft.

Our goal is simple: unlock Kaspa’s programmability now, without compromising its PoW security or decentralization.

Our thesis: Based ZK systems on a performant PoW L1 offer the strongest combination of decentralization, security, and scalability available today.

By sequencing on Kaspa’s BlockDAG, we inherit L1 security guarantees.
By integrating the EVM, we gain access to a mature ecosystem of developer tools and primitives.

vProgs represent a brilliant long-term vision, and we plan to support their eventual implementation — while Igra in its current form is the pragmatic step that unlocks Kaspa’s value and strengthens its security budget today.

We'd love your feedback! Please join the discussion on our Discord (https://t.co/Niz6k1p4Ix) in the #research channel.

And big shout-out to Dr. Shai Wyborski (@DesheShai), co-author of GhostDAG paper, for invaluable input across multiple topics, including cryptography and security assumptions.
