Kaspa smart contracts launched by @Kasplex has largely been a success.
I noticed three solid DEX platforms:
- @KaspaCom, which has an active pumpfun-style launchpad at https://t.co/4tJQLV6Frw and 3 tokens graduated to their DEX. Nice web UI.
- @KsprBot, which also has a pumpfun-style launchpad at https://t.co/YJlX0Go9Tt. They have one token $YELLO on their DEX. What I like about KSPR is that they have their own TG trading bot with built in L1/L2 bridges.
- @ZealousSwap, which has several tokens listed on their DEX for trading: https://t.co/jXLEiGhQxz, in addition to staking/farming.
I'm currently using @MetaMask for trading on Kasplex DEXs and used @KasWare_Wallet to bridge KAS from L1 to L2: https://t.co/QHyLh0kK1K
@DispenceCash will support DEX trading soon for KSPR, Zealous, and KaspaCom, which I plan to use to have access to all DEXs in one place on mobile.
This new market is a bit quiet right now but I expect some of these micro caps to explode on the next market revival. Good to get some practice in now and be ready BEFORE the pumps.
Ive been asked a few times how to bridge L1 $KAS to L2. so i thought id make a quick video how to.
This video assumes you have already set up the Kasplex L2 network on your metamask wallet.
a few points that come to mind this evening, in no particular order:
- Kaspa pre-zk is a sequencing and data-carrying service; there’s no conceptual difference between txn payloads carrying EVM calldata, KRC20 inscriptions or Kasia chat msgs in that regard
- in particular, the above means there’s no settlement on L1; there are no validity proofs or fraud proofs verified. It’s a one-way route: L2s listen to L1 and the data it makes available; L1 has no idea what interpretation L2s give to this data
- hence an L1<>L2 KAS bridge (in this pre-zk era) cannot be fully trustless, no matter the cleverness of its designers
- this does not mean all L2 funds require trust (you can have tokens that live only on the L2; think of it as any other standalone EVM, eg Eth L1)
- in order for this normal L2 operation to be decentralized (other than KAS bridging which must hold some form of trust as mentioned), its codebase must be open-source and independent validators must be able to run it as they wish. I can respect a decision not to immediately open source something you worked on and holds significant IP, but the tradeoff is clear: until the L2 is fully open-source, there is a degree of centralization/trust in anything it executes, and users should be fully aware.
- (btw iirc some Eth rollups were partially closed-source at their respective mainnet launch, though the case is a bit different since they had L1 settlement support)
- I admire Kasplex’s efforts to bring smart contracts to Kaspa asap. If I’m allowed to be somewhat cynical I think tomorrow's launch is a win-win situation. If the launch succeeds it showcases Kaspa’s speed, responsiveness and immense throughput. If it somewhat stutters or has initial problems, they are not inherent to Kaspa and indicate nothing about the core technology and will be fixed in following iterations (or perfected by other entities). I’m not naive and I’m aware that not everyone understands the differentiation between layers, but it’s the simple truth and will eventually rise.
other r&d updates in short:
- dk: being worked on by some dkoders, initial implementation is already taking shape
- vprogs: not only a yellow paper, a rust prototype is wip
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
@ZealousSwap is officially live on @kasplex mainnet!
They are building with transparency, trust, and a vision to scale DeFi across Kaspa.
Remember this: Market Makers and Tier 1 exchanges won’t let you hold $KAS naturally. Their goal is clear — to plant fear, doubt, and panic in your mind. They want you to feel like every other coin is rising while $KAS is “worthless, failed, with no future.” All of this is just to make you sell at low prices and then buy back at much higher levels.
Here’s the kicker: why has not a single major crypto page mentioned #Kaspa’s smart contracts launch? Imagine the same news for any meme coin, or a listing on Binance or Coinbase — every big page would blast it immediately. But $KAS? Completely invisible, as if nothing happened.
Connect the dots, and one conclusion becomes clear: $KAS is severely undervalued. This isn’t just an investment — it’s a historic opportunity for those who read between the lines and are ready to play the long game. 🚀🔥
😅 Can’t sleep. Can’t focus.
Just waiting for Kaspa Smart Contracts to finally arrive…
The anticipation is REAL. 🚀

Florida and California are leading the rest of the United States with public $KAS nodes sitting at 5 for both.
Come on Floridians lets take the lead. 💪
Went out to dinner with a few friends I haven't seen since Spring. So obviously - they don't know anything about my journey with $KAS.
When the check came, my friend paid and others were venmoing him their share.
I asked if he'd want to accept $KAS?
He got the Kaspium wallet and sent him my share.
He's taken a cryptocurrency course during his MBA so he was familiar with PoW. He was amazed by $KAS and asked where he can buy more.
I set him up on @krakenfx.
Over dinner, we created a new Kaspian. This is happening all around the world.
This is Proof of Work. $KAS adoption is accelerating.
