Kaspa itself doesn’t compete with other cryptocurrencies.
Kaspa is money, and no other crypto has the technology to truly enter the money market.
However, Kaspa’s products, such as WarpCore, do compete with other cryptocurrencies.
WarpCore is an XRP killer.
$Kaspa at $10? Let’s be honest.
It’s not guaranteed and it’s not impossible.
$10 means massive adoption, a real bull market, and Kaspa proving that PoW can scale where others failed.
Great tech alone isn’t enough. No adoption = no $10.
If you’re here for fast hype, this isn’t it.
If you’re here for long-term conviction, Kaspa is one of the few PoW projects that even makes this conversation realistic.
Build first. Hype later.

#2 - Kaspa’s RnD Pipeline
This is not a step-by-step roadmap. The Core team is still debating the sequence and priority of these items, so any graphic should not be read as a timeline or any direct associative connection.
What matters is the innovation, direction and final destination. Each component moves Kaspa toward the vision of Sovereignty, Internet Speed Money and Real-Time Decentralization, where the network can sample the honest majority in real time and act safely on that information. These pieces work together to strengthen Kaspa’s ability to validate truth, respond to external events, and maintain decentralization at internet speed. These combined elements continue to make Kaspa the most robust, innovative and practical DLT on the planet.
Below is a breakdown of the pipeline for the "Commoners" and for the "Architects" of the work that supports that vision
1. High Definition PoW (100 BPS)
✅Simply Put (for Commoners)
Kaspa increases the number of blocks created each second so it can sample the mining majority much faster. More blocks per second means Kaspa can trust the network’s majority decisions in real time.
🧠Technically Speaking (for Architects)
High-definition PoW provides a dense stream of independent PoW samples. At 100 blocks per second, the network can estimate the honest-majority distribution within a single internet round trip. The probability of sampling a dishonest minority becomes nearly zero, enabling real-time decentralization.
2. DAGKnight
✅Simply Put
DAGKnight is the next refinement of Kaspa’s block-DAG engine. It makes block ordering faster and more stable so high block rates remain secure and efficient.
🧠Technically Speaking
DAGKnight adjusts the ordering rules within the GhostDAG framework to reduce latency and increase convergence under high block production. It ensures that the protocol remains predictable and safe even as block frequency increases, supporting the real-time sampling model used by RTD.
3. vProgs (Verifiable Programs)
✅Simply Put
vProgs let Kaspa validate certain computations by proving they were done correctly. They enforce correctness inside the chain rather than relying on trust.
🧠Technically Speaking
vProgs introduce verifiable computation into the Kaspa execution model. They supply cryptographic proofs that a state transition followed specific logic. This belongs to the “cryptographer species” Yonatan describes, where internal correctness is enforced mathematically rather than probabilistically.
4. ZK Op-Code
✅Simply Put
ZK op-code allows Kaspa to use zero-knowledge proofs for specific operations that need mathematical certainty. It verifies correctness without revealing unnecessary data.
🧠Technically Speaking
ZK op-code extends Kaspa with zero-knowledge proof primitives for internal state transitions. These operations provide verifiable correctness for constrained computations. They complement vProgs by handling proof verification inside consensus without depending on external trust assumptions.
5. Oracle Protocol
✅Simply Put
Kaspa needs a way to bring outside information into the network. Oracle protocol handles these external facts so miners can attest to them.
🧠Technically Speaking
The oracle protocol introduces authenticated external events into consensus flow. Since external reality cannot be verified cryptographically, Kaspa relies on honest-majority sampling of miner attestations to validate these external signals. This becomes part of Kaspa’s Internet Money Flow at L1.
6. MEV Auction
✅Simply Put
MEV auction protects users from front-running by giving miners a fair, structured way to handle transaction ordering.
🧠Technically Speaking
The MEV auction embeds a miner option mechanism into block creation. This ensures that ordering choices and conditional inclusions occur under majority-based constraints rather than adversarial miner behavior. It supports Yonatan’s goal of real-time honesty guarantees for user intent.
7. In-Consensus IFTTT Auction
✅Simply Put
This lets Kaspa perform conditional actions at L1. If an external event happens, the network executes a specific action immediately and fairly.
🧠Technically Speaking
The in-consensus IFTTT auction formalizes conditional logic (“If This Then That”) within the block-DAG. Miners commit to condition evaluation and execution under honest-majority sampling. This produces atomic, real-time conditional execution tied to oracle-validated events, forming the backbone of Kaspa’s Internet Money Flow.
8. Attestation Aggregation Payload / Protocol
✅Simply Put
Miners submit small votes about an external event. Kaspa quickly gathers these votes and finalizes the majority answer inside the chain.
🧠Technically Speaking
The attestation aggregation protocol collects PoW-backed miner attestations and merges them into a single majority outcome within one round trip. This is the mechanism Yonatan describes when he shows 10, 20, or 50 attestations arriving in a second. The aggregation payload produces a statistically safe majority estimate that enables instant finalization of external event truth.
@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

Alright, my friends, I’ve made a tough call, but I’m convinced it’s the right one. I’ve been holding #BitcoinCash since day one, back in 2017 when the fork happened. I’m Mr. Diamond Hands, I’ve got patience for days, but after 8 years, I’m done. I’ve decided to sell my #BitcoinCash and go all-in on #Kaspa.
#BitcoinCash is a classic #Bitcoin fork, built to tackle scaling with bigger blocks. It’s solid, but let’s be real-it’s outdated tech that’s lost its edge in the market. Meanwhile, #Kaspa is a fresh take on Proof-of-Work, bringing real innovation with no forks, no VCs, just pure focus on decentralization and speed.
In short:
#BitcoinCash wants to be what #Bitcoin used to be.
#Kaspa aims to be what #Bitcoin could become.
