🎟️ PERFORMANCE ANNOUNCEMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎹 Kaspa presents
《 T O C C A T A 》
―― Hard Fork in D Minor ――
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📅 Mainnet activation: June 30, 2026
🎪 Venue: Kaspa Mainnet
Just as the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor — attributed to Bach — pushed the limits of improvisation and technique, Kaspa is about to play speed and programmability in the same breath — for the first time.
🎵 TONIGHT'S PROGRAMME
🎻 Movement I — Covenants (KIP-17/20)
UTXOs with sheet-music constraints. KIP-17 sets spending conditions; KIP-20 adds Covenant IDs for lineage tracking. Composed with the Silverscript compiler.
🎷 Movement II — ZK Verification Opcodes (KIP-16)
Groth16 & RISC Zero STARKs verified directly on L1. The audience may not see every finger move, but the music is undeniably there.
🥁 Movement III — Partitioned Sequencing (KIP-21)
Independent sequencing lanes per app. Multiple soloists, zero interference.
🏆 CONTEXT
Crescendo already hit 10 BPS. Now, core dev Michael Sutton:
"Toccata marks the point where Kaspa's high-frequency monetary base layer meets programmability."
Crescendo → Toccata → DAGKnight
All named after musical terms — intentionally.
v1.3.0 pre-release is live for final network testing.
The curtain rises June 30. 🔔
Kaspa Toccata mainnet process update:
Today we plan to publish the v1.3.0 mainnet pre-release, without activation, for 1–2 days of broader network sanity testing.
Assuming everything looks good, the following release will be v2.0.0, with activation planned for June 30, 4 weeks from today
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
why I’m personally excited about Kaspa’s upcoming Toccata covenants
- for the first time, I can build creative, complex apps directly over infrastructure I helped design and build
- we designed under architectural constraints, but the result came out surprisingly expressive and powerful
- Silverscript is cool as hell
- I can literally open a *.sil file and write a complex contract that will be fully verified on Kaspa L1
- (nottoself: create a 10-minute video showing the building of such an app e2e)
- I can design my own vaults and safeguards, and manage funds securely without risking a heart attack each time I touch a wallet
- covenant ids, contract templates, and inter-covenant communication (ICC) feel like a new set of axioms, or a new algebra to work with and discover
- sig verify from stack / sighash anyone-can-pay + covenant ids can allow interesting shared-state covenants (requires a non-consensus miner policy; kudos to @maxibitcat for pushing this line of thinking)
- complex contract systems can be deployed in one spk hash. no storage rent, no deployment tax; users pay only the transient mass for tx data as they use it
- as I’ve mentioned in the past, this becomes especially interesting for AI/agentic environments, where bots could cheaply create one-time agreements between themselves
- I didn’t even mention based apps yet. That’s a whole vertical that isn’t ready for exploration yet, but will be very soon
Thanks @KaspaSilver! Yes, multi-chain stablecoin to KAS and back in two clicks is one of our core use cases.
Next thing to remove is the wallet UI.
Here is the demo of an AI agent buying and selling KAS through Igra with no CEX in the loop and zero clicking around.
Github with the skill, should work for any coding agent: https://t.co/3w0cV8rCDs
Would love your opinion and community feedback.
Today Kii have completed our main flagship projects which will all be running directly on the L1. Now just the final security hardening and migration to enterprise servers. June is going to be a blast!
And we have a few surprises in store!
Kaspa is an incredible platform to develop on and is only going to get even better.

Congratulations! 🎉
I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart.
I look forward to seeing even more great content
from the #kaspa community in the future.
This reminds me of the way how Rory at @KaspaKii has, yet unseen by the market, developed ISO certified Warpcore, a.o. fit for Islamic financing, and is now silently planting a series of high potential applications @DiiDesertEnergy
I think the questions @hashdag raised are not necessarily only tied to technological challenges but are also more of a "mindset issue".
People have to understand that they can do incredible things with these emerging tools that have never been done before.
Crypto needs to turn from a collection of bag holders, hunting for yield, into a group of people that actually want to change the world!
That should be the message of Kaspa - not digital anarchy but a full blown digital society that interfaces with the real world in as many meaningful ways as possible and that has a shared vision of the future.
It's fine to generate wealth along the way but we should also be aware of the amount of agency we have as a collective to just do things.
