Toccata, Kaspa's next consensus upgrade, is currently targeted for mid to late June.
Here's what it means for the ecosystem and for Igra.
What is Toccata?
Toccata is the first major Kaspa hard fork since Crescendo. It is a foundational shift towards new L1-native primitives and a stronger base for the execution layers built on Kaspa.
What features does Toccata add to Kaspa L1?
- Covenants: Kaspa-native primitives for enforcing how KAS can be spent. Enables future native L1 assets and vault-like designs.
- ZK opcodes: Groth16 and RISC Zero STARKs verification on Kaspa. Cryptographic groundwork that future capabilities like vProgs and trust-minimized bridges will build on.
- Partitioned sequencing: application-specific lanes that let L1 applications and execution layers maintain isolated transaction history. This scales L1 by isolating each application's data.
How does Toccata relate to rollups?
These primitives are additive to existing execution architectures on Kaspa. EVM rollups like Igra already operate on Kaspa. L1-native capabilities advance in parallel: native Kaspa assets, including potential native stablecoins, become possible as the primitives mature.
What does it mean for Igra?
Several changes for teams integrating with Igra at the L1 level:wy Igra release. We are migrating from txid_mask grinding to a dedicated IGRA lane with updated ATAN storage format and deployment tooling. We are integrating with TN12 and TN10 (where the DAA score transition will be tested) and runnwing our own devnet on the Toccata branch for repeated fork simulation.
What does it mean for the Igra ecosystem?
Several changes for teams integrating with Igra at the L1 level:
- Code that filters or searches for Igra transactions on L1 will need to add a subnet check.
- Code that generates Igra entry transactions (wallets, bridges) will need to include the correct subnet.
More details here: https://t.co/Y3P0wLcwIE
We're considering a transition period to support the current prefix alongside the new subnet requirement; we'll communicate the decision as it firms up.
What's the timeline for integration on Igra?
Igra's Frigate testnet for Toccata integration will be available end of May. Expect several weeks of testing to validate the integration. If you're building on Igra, or plan to, reach out and we'll get you set up.
What does it mean for Igra users and holders?
Your iKAS and all other assets are safe. All bridges and protocols remain operational throughout the testing and upgrade window. Igra has navigated complex mainnet operations before with no asset loss, and we are preparing redundant testing infrastructure to simulate the fork transition extensively before mainnet deployment. No action required from you during this period.
We will keep you informed at every step.

KASPA L1 APPROACHES 2 BILLION TRANSACTIONS
According to its official block explorer platform, the @kaspaunchained layer-1 network's cumulative transaction count is approaching the 2 billion mark.
As of the latest data, it stands at around 1.95 billion transactions.
The $KAS token itself has been buoyed by crypto's recent resurgence and is up +6.4% over the past week per CMC data.
Let's try this "engagement farming" thing.
I was invited to a big YT channel to discuss the quantum threat. Inspired by the comments to the previous video (pinned), if this post gets 1k likes I'll wear a $kas Kaspa shirt.
@moshikrl@kaspaunchained@michaelsuttonil aiming for two HFs in 2026, cov++ beginning of May, DK+increased BPS end of Q3 god willing. both are aggressive timelines, but realistic with the newly expanded devforce
Sigma Prime @sigp_io just published our audit report. Results: 1 medium, 3 low severity issues. All resolved.
Sigma Prime is the team behind Lighthouse (Ethereum's Rust consensus client) and have audited some of the biggest protocols in DeFi like Aave, Lido, EigenLayer, Chainlink. Deep ZK and smart contract security expertise.
They audited our IGRA token logic, vesting pools, and DAO contracts, the full stack shipping with Igra mainnet genesis and TGE.

I'm happy to announce Silverscript! (Link in reply)
Silverscript is Kaspa's first high-level smart contract language and compiler. It enables DeFi, vaults, and native asset management directly on Kaspa's L1.
The language syntax is based on CashScript, but adds essential features like loops, arrays, and function calls.
It specializes in managing contracts with local state (UTXO model), serving as a complement and infrastructure layer for vProgs (shared state).
Note: Powered by new script engine features recently enabled on Testnet-12. The syntax is experimental and might evolve.
Please try it out and give feedback!
@MarshallHayner A “new version of Bitcoin” that’s decentralized and actually scales already exists.
It’s Kaspa: PoW, no premine, no VCs, 10 blocks/sec, instant blockDAG throughput, and scaling live in production.
Sometimes the answer is already here.

Launching Today:
WarpCore: ISO 20022 In. Kaspa Finality Out.
Today we’re launching WarpCore (Phase 1) in a sandbox environment for financial institutions.
WarpCore acts as a universal adapter:
ISO 20022 ⇄ deterministic Kaspa logic.
Banks keep their existing messaging, controls, and compliance pipelines - while settling verifiable, immutable financial events on Kaspa at incredible speed, without compromising decentralisation. Secured by Proof of Work.
This is not a new rail.
It’s a translation layer.
Legacy systems in.
Cryptographic finality out.
More to come...
