Bitcoin had Miami.
Ethereum had DEVCON.
Now it’s Kaspa’s turn.
Introducing the Kaspa Conference: a 4-day experience bringing together builders, investors, and the $KAS community.
And we’re investing up to $1,000,000 in Kaspa startups.
Here’s what we’re building. 🧵
KAS itself isn't a KCC-20 token. So every app built for KCC-20 tokens needs extra custom code just to handle plain KAS.
Why should builders have to do that?
Manyfest @manyfest_ has proposed a fix called KAS20. The idea is simple. You lock KAS and get the same amount of KAS20. You burn KAS20 and get your KAS back. That's it. One KAS20 is always backed by exactly one KAS.
And it's not like WETH on Ethereum, where all the ETH sits in one contract. With KAS20 every coin holds its own KAS. No shared vault, no one holding your KAS for you. But it's only a proposal for now. The code is still waiting for review, it's not on testnet and nobody has audited it.
So if you see a token called KAS20 today, it's just a name. Check the covenant ID properly. Full article here👇
Today we are introducing KaspaDollar, an initiative led by core developer @asaefstroem to build the first decentralized stablecoin on the $KAS network.
The developments around @kccforum and the Toccata hardfork have considerably widened what Kaspa is capable of. Capability alone, however, does not make an ecosystem. Decentralized finance requires a unit of account that holds its value, and until Kaspa has a stablecoin of its own, every application built on it will remain dependent on assets issued elsewhere.
The design we intend to follow is the decentralized, overcollateralized stablecoin: a pattern whose security properties have been examined and tested across the industry for the better part of a decade. With the support of the core team, we consider the conditions right to bring it to Kaspa.
Realizing this requires development, an independent audit, further research, and the operational work of taking a protocol from specification to production. To fund it, we are opening a fundraiser with a target of 5,000,000 KAS.
Contributions are made directly to the fundraising address published on the website. Should the target not be reached by 1 January 2027, every contribution will be returned to the address from which it was sent.
Up until that point, this account will share the plans, details and progress of the work as it develops.
Entity X, Kaspa largest known holder, continues accumulating KAS.
Two new transfers totaling 8.11 million KAS have arrived from Kraken and Gate .io, bringing the wallet's balance to 1.54 billion KAS, worth approximately $58.2 million.
The latest inflows extend the recent accumulation trend, with Entity X steadily increasing its holdings throughout October.
This is a really important milestone because it allows developers to finally start building "composable" apps.
KCC means "Kaspa Calls for Conventions" and it is an effort to define standards that can be shared across the ecosystem.
For apps to be composable, it is not enough that they can call each others functions and observe the results, but they also need to be able to "understand" the data they see.
Instead of having each app manually implement the "proprietary language" of all the other apps, these KCC's establish a "common language" that is understood by everybody.
So while this doesn't introduce new "on-chain" features, it enables developers to write apps that can be composed without the apps having to know about each other.
There will of course be additional standards in the future but these three are arguably the most important ones because they cover the foundations and how tokens / assets are modeled (which is essential for DeFi and anything related to decentralized governance).
Kaspa is growing up so fast! 😱
PS: If you are building on Kaspa, please drop me a DM - I would love to hear about your project!
🎉 The L1 KCC20 token standard on $KAS was just merged, advancing it from "Last Call" to "Final".
No new node release is needed, just wallets integration.
Let's get into it @KastleWallet@KasWare_Wallet@KasanovaWallet 🔥

Greetings $KAS. KCC-1, KCC-2 and KCC-20 are now Final, meaning they are ready for full adoption across the ecosystem.
We invite Kaspa builders to join the public KCC channel to ask questions, get support, discuss implementations and share what you build.
Come build with us.

⚡ Kaspa $KAS just took a big step toward quantum resistance with KIP 22 by @OriNewman, keeping public keys hidden until spent.
Optional privacy is also making big strides thanks to @WellerOlaf's initiative.
The KCC20 L1 token standard is around the corner.
The real endgame!
Kii is giving a keynote at the ETIM Forum 2026 in Torremolinos, Spain on 28 October.
We will show KiiWORKS: digital product passports for industry, built from the ETIM data manufacturers already publish and verifiable by anyone on Kaspa.
