Video on how to set up a pre release #Toccata $KAS node for Mac users. It is so simple to do we should have 10,000 nodes running… @IzioDev
-Download the software for Mac at the link in Michael’s tweet
-Open the folder. Copy the file path for Kaspad
-Paste it in a terminal window, press space, then type “- - utxoindex” (no space between the two dashes).
-Press enter and let it run. Use a mini pc or something without a display that can run 24/7. I am using an M1 Mac Mini.
Building your $KAS positions between 2-4 cents is an absolute gift.
My average is like 12 cents, am I phased? No. Best investment I have made tech-wise even if I’m down.
Eventually I’ll have the last laugh. Upside will be glorious.

A Telegram group owner reached out to me to do a AMA for their group about $KAS. There is about 10,000 members in there and will be happening today at 4:30 EST. raid the post if you can.
We said the oracle explanation was coming in a follow-up. Apparently that already counts as "long awaited."
So — our sincere apologies for the long-awaited explanation. Here it is.
On oracles: if a chain truly wants to maximize its DeFi safety, the gold standard is paying @chainlink a few million to integrate. Or, for the budget-conscious: a "single TEE-attested node" — the kind already running in a bolt-on L2 lending protocol — for a few hundred dollars a month in server fees. (Just maybe don't run it in us-east-1. It goes down a little too often.)
But here's the thing, and it's common sense to anyone who's actually built one: a binary market needs no price data from an oracle at all. It needs a single bit — did YES happen, or NO. That bit comes from an LP multisig, or a user-bond vote. No feed, no 30-second refresh, no "fair price" to defend. One bit, once, done.
So even in that exact same worst case — a single node:
• Lending reads the price LIVE, on every interaction, with leverage, and the result is irreversible. One bad price mints bad debt and drains the pool. No undo button.
• A binary market touches the oracle ONCE, at a challengeable moment, capped at a single market's open interest — and anyone can merge YES + NO back into collateral and walk away before resolution.
A single point of trust is one thing we will never adopt. The full oracle design is coming with our third product — Touchstone, an optimistic oracle for feeding data to covenants.
Who is old enough to remember PYRIN 🙃
Forks make no sense for Kaspa unless you have a specific niche you are trying to tackle which even still good luck.
Majority of forks will just be a testament to the greatness $KAS. If you can't beat them join them is the better approach.
Toccata hardfork locked in for June 30
Rusty #Kaspa v2.0.0 is officially released with mainnet activation hardcoded at DAA score 474,165,565 — estimated 16:15 UTC on June 30, 2026. The DAA score is a nod to Bach's BWV 565 (Toccata and Fugue in D minor). All node operators, miners, pools, exchanges, and wallets must upgrade before activation. Nodes running the old P2P version will be disconnected 24 hours before the fork. The upgrade brings native L1 covenant support via Silverscript, ZK proof verification via OpZkPrecompile, partitioned sequencing commitments (KIP-21), and covenant IDs for stateful contract lineage. A full dry run on Testnet-10 completed smoothly in May.
Activation: June 30 ~16:15 UTC
DAA score: 474,165,565
$KAS Node version: v2.0.0
@Vladcostea The real phenomenon is how any influencer, VC or kol actively ignores Kaspa while it's becoming the only usable pow infrastructure. No other protocol has ever been this threatening since Bitcoin
How Kasmos builds a prediction market on Toccata hard fork
It's not a server, database, or custodial wallet.
It's a set of SilverScript covenants that your own wallet co-spends — rules enforced by every Kaspa node on every transaction.
• CtfVault escrows KAS and splits it into YES + NO tokens. Only the winner redeems.
•YES/NO shares are bound to their own covenant ID.
•Orders + permissionless matching, all fully on-chain.
The real trick: Toccata's covenants (KIP-17 + KIP-20) let a script enforce where funds go and bind tokens to unbreakable rules — all enforced by consensus, with no operator.
A prediction market is just those rules, running on-chain.
Because #Kaspa is something the whole crypto has been chasing for 15 years.
BlockDAG + GHOSTDAG = pure fire. No more linear blockchain bottlenecks. $kas confirms blocks in seconds while staying fully decentralized and PoW-secure like Bitcoin. Real-time finality. This is what Satoshi dreamed of but scaled to the moon. Founder Yonatan Sompolinsky literally invented the GHOST protocol that Ethereum built on early Kaspa took it to the next level.
Crescendo hasalready shipped (May 2025) 10 BPS mainnet.
That’s 10 blocks per second, thousands of TPS right now. Rusty Kaspa (the Rust rewrite) is the official node standard since early 2026ultra efficient, rock-solid, and ready for more. Roadmap has 25-40 BPS by Q3 2026 and 100 BPS in sight for 2027. Hardware is the only limit. No congestion, no gas wars, ever.
Toccata Hard Fork dropping ANY DAY (Late June 2026). Native programmability, KRC-20 tokens, covenants, ZK verification opcodes all on L1. Kaspa just went from “fast money” to full programmable beast. Kaskad Lending (first DeFi protocol) already live on Igra L2 since late May. Smart contracts + DeFi + 10+ BPS = Solana-level speed but with real PoW security and zero VC baggage.
Fair launch, no premine, no insiders, 95%+ supply circulating. Pure community-driven PoW. Hashrate is healthy and growing. Top holders are spread out. This is the anti-VC, anti-rug, sound-money coin that actually delivers on Bitcoin’s original vision but usable for everyday payments right now.
Why is Kaspa THE ENDGAME?
Bitcoin = digital gold (store of value).
Kaspa = digital cash (actual p2p money that moves in real time). It solves the blockchain trilemma without compromises: insane scalability + ironclad decentralization + maximum security. No PoS centralization risks, no L2 fragmentation headaches. Just pure, fast, permissionless money that’s evolving into a full ecosystem. While everyone else is chasing narratives and VC pumps, Kaspa is quietly building the protocol that becomes the new TCP/IP of money. Low cap, massive tech edge, imminent catalysts, and the community that actually ships. it’s the final form of PoW crypto.
