#Kaspa ($KAS) Tech Update

The PoW BlockDAG architecture continues to scale.
With the Crescendo upgrade now live (10 BPS), the focus shifts to maximizing throughput (8–9× increase) and securing network decentralization.

Community efforts aim for 1,000 public nodes to strengthen resilience ahead of 2026 smart contract implementation.

#Scalability #PoW

[KaspaSignal @KaspaSignal]

A sober and necessary call-out by Yoni Sompolinsky.
Binance helped shape the narrative — now it must also help restore it.
Cypherpunk values are not nostalgia; they are the compass of sound money.

#Kaspa #FairLaunch #BlockDAG #Cypherpunk

[Dr Martin Hiesboeck @MHiesboeck]

I’m going to take the liberty and repost the brilliant creator of $KAS, my friend (and idol) Yoni @hashdag’s letter to @Binance here for visibility.

I found myself nodding and screaming “yes” “exactly” at every sentence. Before you flame me, yes I work for a platform @UpholdInc and I’m proud of that. I try to keep the OG crypto embers burning inside a system that has changed the value and ethics proposition. Yes, we are all guilty in some way or other of perverting the original crypto spirit, and not all elements of OG cyberpunk were good, reasonable, morally acceptable or even realistic. But Yoni’s letter deserves more attention. I’m going to handwrite it in ink and hang it on my wall.

(For the younger readers: handwriting is an old form of “texting” when you use a pen, pencil or other implement to draw letters on a medium such as paper using only your fingers and your own brain. See https://t.co/8Jws3rXOs5)

Here it the letter. It’s the crypto version of Jean-Paul Sartre rejecting the Nobel in 1964.

@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. (Hear hear!!!!!)

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.

@KaspaLens Truth becomes standard when the community writes it. ♾️

[KaspaSignal @KaspaSignal]

Respect to both @hashdag and @michaelsuttonil.

Recognition is temporary — foundation is eternal.

Kaspa is not a trend — it’s becoming a standard.

♾️ #KaspaSignal #vProgs #ProofOfWork #kas #kaspa

[J @qu1ck_crypt0]

It is officially over now $KAS family!

@hashdag has WON the award of @binance Blockchain 100 as Independent Researcher!🥇

@michaelsuttonil just fell short and received 3rd🥉

Either way, this means $KAS will be attending the Award Ceremony in Dubai on December 3rd, sharing the stage with @saylor @RaoulGMI & @cz_binance and more!💚

[KaspaSignal @KaspaSignal]

Bitcoin secures value.
Kaspa validates trust.
One is the monetary base.
The other is the distributed mind —
scaling truth without permission.
#KaspaSignal #vProgs #ProofOfWork

[Ivan Ivanov @Uns7oPpabl3_]

This is where the centralization issue comes with Bitcoin
You have dozens of institutional players allowing you to use it and many people fall for the trap it is really supporting the network
Let me tell you this is all dust in the air - using Bitcoin means accepting its slow base layer with 7 transactions per second where you have the Bitcoin ethos working - security and decentralization with lack of scalability
Every other solution such as exchanges, Lightning network, etc. is using a centralized L2 sacrificing the main principles of hard, sound and sovereign money
If you want to really transact on a sovereign network, the only working solution is $KAS Kaspa - secure, decentralized and scalable combining Bitcoin's security and decentralization, Ethereum's programmability and Solana's scalability by leveraging them to unlimited scalability through unprecedented Vprogs design allowing for the first time the L1 to be the sequencer by leaving computation off-chain with on-chain validation through ZK proofs
Future of money is closer in the mirror than we all think - embrace it

Study $KAS Kaspa

[KaspaSignal @KaspaSignal]

Cycles rhyme, but they never repeat.

What matters isn’t prediction — it’s conviction.

#Kaspa follows its own tempo,
and time will tell what only patience can reveal.

#KaspaSignal #BlockDAG #ProofOfWork

[Honorius @OrangutanElder]

Ask any OG Bitcoiner and they will agree. Holding Bitcoin from the 2013 peak to 2016 was brutal. Down and sideways for 2 years, from $1200 (Nov 2013) to $165 (Feb 2015) ...14 months to that low. A new ATH finally arrived in 2017 after more than 3 yrs. $KAS is following an eerily similar pattern and we are only 14 months from our previous ATH. Go touch grass, and let Kaspa do it's own thing.

(for observational purposes only)

[KaspaSignal @KaspaSignal]

When the world starts feeling the limits of linear chains,
Kaspa won’t need to shout.
It will simply work — effortlessly, in parallel.

The paradigm shift will not be televised.
#Kaspa #BlockDAG #ProofOfWork #KaspaSignal ∞

[Paul van Son @pvson]

Just wait for the moment that the markets will massively adopt assets digitizing, tokenizing and certifying and, hence, start ‘feeling’ the limitations of sequential blockchain technologies. That will be the finest moment of $KAS

[KaspaSignal @KaspaSignal]

The mind behind Kaspa never sleeps.

This isn’t just about scaling — it’s about sovereignty.

A new paradigm for dApps: composable, secure, free from parasitic layers.

[Yonatan Sompolinsky @hashdag]

while butting heads with @CryptoAspect on panic failures in zkVMs I received this <from panic attacks to full night's sleep> newsletter from @chargrysolle.

i saw this as a divine calling to braindump my pov before implementing full night sleep.

for any VM system that implements metering - and for any zkVM system that implements provable metering - panic is a (non) special case requiring no special treatment. sure, one can architect a system which safely handles panic w/o metering, but not the reverse - and since based (rollups or the superior) programs / vprogs necessitate provable metering, panic/abort is "solved" or correctly wrapped for free.

as @Max143672 @CryptoAspect point out, SP1 as a single layer zkVM doesn't support (provable metering and doesn't support) panic handling - while this can be patched at the compiler level, this would guarantee safe abort of programs compiled using their toolchain only, whereas permissionless onchain registration of programs requires a more robust guarantee.

the implied conclusion is that based (rollup or the superior) program systems can either use bespoke VMs such as Polygon's and Scroll's zkEVMs, or the slower and less performant nesting of general purpose VMs, which would enable runtime analysis of the guest program.

but researching this I discovered a much neater alternative by @StarkWareLtd - the Sierra raw byte format, which iiuc achieves provable safety (and metering) via compile time static analysis. if true this is very very cool! cc @VolokhIlia
tldr CairoVM>>SP1

--

this discussion is orthogonal or at least complementary to the based vprogs design, a zk variant of Solana's design - the link is somewhere on kaspanet's github - which insists on sync composability on the program layer while allowing programs to live and maintain their own state - their own mini zkVMs.

vprogs optimize for dapp sovereignty, and will obviate the inherently parasitic L2 network/rollup entities which seek to lock and suck all dapp activity under their umbrella.
hopefully kas builders will optimize for sovereignty too.

Every new Kaspa node is more than code —
it’s a new pillar of decentralization.

Each signal strengthens the network,
and the network strengthens the vision.

$KAS visionaries

Amazing to see we continue to push harder on the Kaspa nodes creation as we approach 50% of our goal for 1 000 nodes by November 7th with 467 nodes currently active!

My challenge to all of you is that we reach 500 by end of day - let's do it!

Simple and friendly guide on how to create a node is in the following link (thanks @ScapeSquad)

Recognition matters —
but it’s the mathematical truth behind Kaspa that will endure.

Awards fade.
Architecture remains.

#Kaspa #BlockDAG #ProofOfWork #KaspaSignal ♾️

[CryptoGrodd @groddofcrypto]

If Dr. Yonatan Sompolinsky (@hashdag) and Michael Sutton (@michaelsuttonil) eventually win the award, it could ignite a massive $KAS bull run — the recognition alone would spotlight Kaspa’s groundbreaking tech to the entire crypto world. 🌍🔥

🫵🏼 You Are Not Bullish Enough.

[KaspaSignal @KaspaSignal]

🌍 Kaspa quietly expands its real-world impact.
WarpCore aligns with ISO 20022.
Carbon markets, RWA tokenisation, industrial partners — all under Proof-of-Work.

This is what utility without hype looks like.

#Kaspa #BlockDAG #PoW #ISO20022 #KaspaSignal

[Kaspa Kii @KaspaKii]

For everyone asking for updates, we are making great progress with WarpCore and the ISO 20022 + other standards rails.

Next up is carbon markets and we will be demonstrating some of the technical developments around this next week at the Dii Desert Energy summit in Dubai. Also showcasing some of the 23 different projects and solutions for differing use cases including RWA tokenisation to our industrial partners.
