The crypto market structure bill has PASSED the Senate Banking Committee with a bi-partisan vote!
Historic day for crypto and for the future of digital assets in America. Grateful for the countless hours from lawmakers and staff to strengthen this legislation. Big improvement from where we were in January on rewards, tokenization, DeFi, and CFTC authority. I'm proud we stood up for our customers in that moment, and the bill is better because of it.
Looking forward to a bipartisan law that cements the US as the world's crypto capital. Let's get CLARITY done.
In 2010, Gavin Andresen built the original Bitcoin Faucet. It gave away 5 BTC at a time, distributing 19.7k BTC in total, helping bootstrap Bitcoin’s early holders.
We’re borrowing the same idea for strkBTC.
The Faucet will open in 48 hours.

why I’m personally excited about Kaspa’s upcoming Toccata covenants
- for the first time, I can build creative, complex apps directly over infrastructure I helped design and build
- we designed under architectural constraints, but the result came out surprisingly expressive and powerful
- Silverscript is cool as hell
- I can literally open a *.sil file and write a complex contract that will be fully verified on Kaspa L1
- (nottoself: create a 10-minute video showing the building of such an app e2e)
- I can design my own vaults and safeguards, and manage funds securely without risking a heart attack each time I touch a wallet
- covenant ids, contract templates, and inter-covenant communication (ICC) feel like a new set of axioms, or a new algebra to work with and discover
- sig verify from stack / sighash anyone-can-pay + covenant ids can allow interesting shared-state covenants (requires a non-consensus miner policy; kudos to @maxibitcat for pushing this line of thinking)
- complex contract systems can be deployed in one spk hash. no storage rent, no deployment tax; users pay only the transient mass for tx data as they use it
- as I’ve mentioned in the past, this becomes especially interesting for AI/agentic environments, where bots could cheaply create one-time agreements between themselves
- I didn’t even mention based apps yet. That’s a whole vertical that isn’t ready for exploration yet, but will be very soon
1/ People finally understand Kaspa's "hidden boss" level
vProgs aren't a small upgrade. Once people grasp the concept, they realize Kaspa isn't just fast blocks—it's building an entirely new smart-contract paradigm.
That instantly attracts devs, tech investors, and analysts.
2/ Builders could suddenly migrate to Kaspa
Once the community understands what vProgs enable, developers will start asking:
"Why build on Ethereum, Solana, or any L2 when I can deploy directly on Kaspa L1—with no bridges, no rollups, no fragmented liquidity?"
Domino effect begins.
3/ The Kaspa ecosystem starts filling up
Apps = usage
Usage = transactions
Transactions = demand for KAS
Demand = value
When vProgs "click," the first pre-migration projects appear: Uniswap-style DEXes, NFT marketplaces, DeFi tools, games, and more.
4/ The narrative power explodes
Up until now, Kaspa has been seen as a "fast PoW coin."
Once vProgs are understood, Kaspa becomes:
✅ True L1 smart-contract system
✅ Running on PoW
✅ No L2, no fragmentation
✅ One unified base (all powered by KAS)
No other chain offers this.
5/ Investors see completely new market-cap potential
When people realize all future apps share the same economic engine (KAS), they understand Kaspa's value comes from an entire ecosystem like ETH—but without Ethereum's limitations.
Vision shifts from "2-5x" to "top-5 asset."
6/ Exchanges lose their power over Kaspa
When people understand Kaspa's growth comes from technology + builders, NOT from listings—exchanges like Binance lose their gatekeeper status.
Kaspa becomes self-sustaining.
7/ Confidence in the future surges
vProgs are the bridge from "store-of-value PoW asset" to full smart-contract powerhouse.
Once this sinks in, a strong, long-term holder culture forms.
-
In short:
When vProgs gain traction, Kaspa transforms from a fast coin into a platform that outpaces other chains technologically and builds its own L1 smart-contract ecosystem.
That's when people finally understand:
Kaspa isn't a coin—Kaspa is a new internet.

I don’t know how I feel about the ‘for kids’ title🤣 but this is superb to teach anyone who’s not overly experienced in crypto technology about kaspa:native
8 billion people in the world with only 28.7 billion kaspa!
Some people will never hold up to 1000 KAS in their lives.
Today $37 can get you 1000 KAS, that's how early you are. $KAS
In 4 days, 4 leading protocols with $3B+ combined TVL decommissioned their legacy oracles & bridges and are migrating to Chainlink.
