Quantum computers will eventually be able to break the cryptography that protects blockchains today. The fix is new "post-quantum" signatures, but they are big and slow to work with.
We just showed they can be checked on Kaspa in seconds. Here is how.
In plain terms: we take the three new quantum-safe signature standards (NIST) and prove them correct inside a zero-knowledge virtual machine, so the network can trust the result without redoing all the work.
The numbers below are the time it takes to produce that proof.
All three NIST schemes, proved on an RTX 4090 (means of 5 runs):
Falcon-512: 1.91s
ML-DSA-44: 5.35s
SLH-DSA-128s: 16.3s
SLH-DSA is the hard one (hash-based). It was taking 30+ minutes. RISC Zero's SHA-256 precompile is what brings it down to 16s.
The important part: we did not run these on our own hardware. @0xfourier (GhostProver / NTH MOMENT) benchmarked it independently and the proof artifacts are published. Don't trust the graphic, check the artifacts.

Thanks to @0xfourier and to the crypto interns who worked on this. PQ + ZK, built in the open. #Kaspa $KAS
@ScapeSquad@kaspaunchained@Kaspa_Commons You are very very kind for the post, brother. thank you! This morning i had planned to do XRP, but I see the KAS community has showed up in a big way! Moving it to next up after Chainlink! Thank you!
I support the $KAS community because the tech is top tier, super advanced yet ignored.
It isn’t about monetary gain for me, I have a good business, I am developing a superb trading strategy and chilling.
Sometimes it’s about supporting what is right.
Toccata was the opening act. DAGKnight is the main event
Kaspa's next consensus upgrade replaces GHOSTDAG with a model that adapts to real network latency, targeting block times of 25 to 40 milliseconds. Core developers are aiming for a hard fork by the end of Q3.
Founder @hashdag has proposed bundling it with a ZK bridge in one fork, with a 100 blocks-per-second target to follow in 2027. $KAS
The scoreboard doesn’t care about opinions.
2.4 BILLION transactions and counting.
Quietly building.
Quietly scaling.
Quietly outperforming.
Kaspa is becoming impossible to ignore.

Genau dieser Punkt wird noch zu selten verstanden. 👀
Kaspa muss Bitcoin nicht “besiegen”, um erfolgreich zu sein.
Bitcoin hat sich als digitales Wertaufbewahrungsmittel etabliert.
Kaspa verfolgt mit Toccata einen anderen Weg: programmierbares Proof of Work mit hoher Skalierbarkeit.
Wenn Entwickler, Anwendungen und Unternehmen beginnen, auf dieser Infrastruktur aufzubauen, entsteht der wahre Netzwerkeffekt.
Am Ende entscheidet nicht der lauteste Hype.
Sondern wer langfristig die meisten echten Anwendungsfälle schafft.

Kaspa Entity X Now Holds 1.47B $KAS
Top-tier holder Entity X increases its total position to 1.47B $KAS ($42.9M), solidifying its status as the largest non-exchange entity on the network.
Recent on-chain movements reveal a fresh inflow of 6.8M $KAS sourced from liquidity pools at @Bybit_Official, @Gate, and @Bitget.
This sustained accumulation comes as the @kaspaunchained ecosystem scales its BlockDAG architecture to accommodate increasing demand for high-speed, GPU-mined settlement.
Kaspa's EVM layers passed a full stress test at 200x cheaper than Ethereum
Independent testing put Kasplex and Igra through 66 operations covering token transfers, DEX swaps, lending, and NFT minting. Both scored a 100% success rate with execution identical to Ethereum Sepolia.
Transaction costs came in over 200 times cheaper than Ethereum mainnet, all settling on proof-of-work. Post-Toccata, the $KAS ecosystem has a working EVM stack.
kaspa:native will only go higher if its technologies are being used outside crypto space.
$KAS needs to be more in Web2 space let’s show the world how useful the technologies are to humanity.
