We’re excited to introduce EigenFlow: the first framework for optimal market making on Kaspa utilising the blockDAG. Our new paper, “Optimal Market Making on Directed Acyclic Graph Blockchains,” extends the classic Avellaneda–Stoikov model to Kaspa’s parallel block environment. Key insight: By quoting across multiple parallel blocks, market makers can reduce inventory risk by O(1/n)—something impossible on linear chains. At Kii, our focus is on engineering, creating market enabling tools that connect enterprise needs with Kaspa capabilities. 📄 Read the full paper: https://t.co/DDR5l2rJEh If you're into the math, check it out. Why This is an Important 'LEGO' Piece for Kii as a Market Enabler: Unlike linear blockchains, Kaspa’s 10 BPS + GHOSTDAG enables a form of “branching-time” market making. This opens the door to multi-market strategies - from high-frequency pairs to slower, real-world assets- all secured by the same chain. At the Kaspa Industrial Initiative (Kii), we're all about market enabling real-world tools – think tokenising RWAs like carbon credits, energy assets, or supply chains (shoutout to Olive Chain!). To build solid exchanges and marketplaces for these, you need deep liquidity: tight prices, low slippage, and execution you can trust. Eigenflow is that key building block - it provides the "liquidity layer" that makes markets work smoothly, especially in fragmented or regulated spaces where trades aren't constant. Without it, those platforms could be clunky and empty; with it, we're enabling institutional-grade finance on Kaspa. It ties perfectly into WarpCore for fiat bridges and ZETA/Zet-Ex for eco-trading, letting us create vibrant ecosystems that onboard enterprises. The Novel Twist – Unique to Kaspa BlockDAG: What makes EigenFlow revolutionary? It's not just "market making on blockchain" - it's rebuilt from the ground up around Kaspa's BlockDAG structure. Instead of assuming one timeline (like Bitcoin or Ethereum), it uses math (spectral graphs, eigenvalues, and optimised control equations) to exploit parallel blocks for better predictions. Quotes across multiple paths "concentrate" execution times (less uncertainty, like flipping multiple coins for a quicker win), while handling risks like conflicts or delays. This Kaspa DAG-native approach - with theorems proving 35-75% efficiency gains - hasn't been done before. It's PoW-secure, scalable to 10 blocks/sec, and primed for vProgs upgrades. Basically, EigenFlow for Kaspa lets us do market making in a way linear chains can't touch. #Kaspa #BlockDAG #MarketMaking #Liquidity #MarketMicrostructure #RealWorldAssets

Bitcoin bear markets usually last 1 year. Potential low in October 2026. Last cycle it took MSTR around 98 weeks to bottom. 98 weeks from MSTR top (November 2024) is also October 2026.

@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. 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. Thanks again, hashdag cc @michaelsuttonil Exhibit A: Binance Innovation Zone Exhibit B: 10 bps Nakamoto Consensus

#BTC In 2017, Bitcoin peaked 518 days after the Halving In 2021, Bitcoin peaked 550 days after the Halving Bitcoin is currently 566 days after the Halving At least time-wise, Bitcoin should've already peaked which is why BTC needs a Lengthened Cycle to maintain its Bull Run $BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin
