**Official Toccata Release — Mainnet Hardfork Activation Included** (Links in reply)
We’re excited to announce the official Kaspa release containing the **Toccata Hardfork** activation logic.
Toccata is scheduled to activate on mainnet at DAA score `474,165,565`, expected around **June 30, 2026, 16:15 UTC**.
This is a consensus-changing upgrade. All node operators, miners, pools, exchanges, indexers, wallets, and infrastructure providers must upgrade before activation to remain compatible with the network.
Toccata introduces a major expansion of Kaspa L1 capabilities, including:
• **Native L1 covenant support** through transaction introspection, allowing for more expressive contracts, including stateful contracts
• **Covenant IDs**, providing stable covenant lineage across UTXO transitions, so covenant instances can preserve continuity as their state moves from one UTXO to the next
• **ZK proof verification on L1** via `OpZkPrecompile`, enabling to trustlessly offload computation off-chain.
• **Partitioned sequencing commitments**, improving support for based ZK applications by making lane-local proving scale with relevant activity rather than global throughput
Please upgrade as soon as possible and verify your nodes are running the new release well before the activation DAA score.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to designing, implementing, reviewing, and testing Toccata.
Kaspa Activates Toccata Hard Fork...
@Kaspaunchained officially launches the Toccata Hard Fork release, with mainnet activation scheduled for June 30, 2026, at DAA score 474,165,565.
This consensus-changing upgrade introduces native L1 covenant support and transaction introspection, allowing for expressive stateful contracts on $KAS.
The update also features the OpZkPrecompile for trustless L1 ZK proof verification and partitioned sequencing commitments to scale-based ZK applications.
Something big is coming to the Kasplex infrastructure. ⛓️
We’re about to lower the barrier for decentralization, making it easier than ever for anyone to run their own node.
Stay tuned for the technical upgrade soon!
🚀 Big things coming for Kaspa!
Toccata Update is turning Kaspa into a true programmable Layer-1.
Key upgrade:
→ Native Programmability (Covenants + Silverscript) on L1
→ ZK-Proof Verification
→ Smart Contracts & Native Tokens
All while keeping the insane speed and BlockDAG magic intact.
Kaspa is graduating from payments coin → full DeFi & app platform.
The future is fast. ⚡
#Kaspa #Toccata #KAS #Crypto
If you’re estimating #Kaspa’s potential price from 2026–2030, take ZETA into account, and for example consider what the market cap would be if Kaspa delivers everything it promised. And it will.
$6.33 is a laughably low price for kaspa:native considering the market cap but fine, we’re not devils to whom nothing is ever enough.
This Kaspa native protocol hit $1.6 million TVL on day-one.
@AppKaskad on @Igra_Labs, a new lending-focused entrant to the @kaspaunchained defi sector, has hit $1.6 million in total value locked on its first day.
The $KAS native platform now boasts 350,000 $USDT and 1,000,000 $USDC on the platform.
2026 could yet be a massive year for the Kaspa ecosystem.
Here we go again: rehearsing a major hardfork on testnet 10, this time crescendoing into Toccata
Activation is scheduled for tomorrow May 18, 16:00 UTC.
Existing TN10 miners/operators should upgrade now. In a few hours upgraded p2p nodes will stop connecting to non-upgraded nodes as we enter the 24h pre-activation window.
Let’s make the mainnet activation boring by making the TN10 rehearsal as mainnet-real-world as possible
