$KAS founder was an expert in Bitcoin security long before KASPA. He was one of the 1st to do a reasonable security audit of $btc
$avax & $eth founders talk about his research👇
He also invented GHOST that Vitalik based Ethereum on
A decade of improvements later, KASPA is born
🎉 Kaspa Turns 4
Four years ago, Kaspa launched as a fair, open-source Proof of Work network built for speed, scalability, and decentralization. Today it stands as the most advanced digital ledger technology in the world.
Kaspa has delivered what others only promised:
- Parallel block creation through the GHOSTDAG protocol
- Ten blocks per second with near-instant confirmations
- A fair launch with no pre-mine, ICO, or central control
- Full Proof of Work security with full node validation
- Efficient pruning and upcoming subnetwork support
The next phase begins with DAGKnight, a consensus upgrade that will raise performance and security even further, and vProgs, a programmable validation layer that introduces new logic and coordination across Kaspa’s BlockDAG while maintaining its speed and decentralization.
Kaspa continues to prove that innovation, transparency, and community-driven development can coexist at scale.
Happy 4th Birthday, Kaspa and Kaspa community. We have the most talented developers, exploding ecosystem of apps and dapps, passionate ambassadors and committed mining community. The best is yet to come.
Why is there no Altseason?
$125 billion has been liquidated in leverage this year alone. If that capital went into spot assets instead:
- No thin liquidity across the market
- No cascade that results in market crashes
- Less selling pressure
- We could have a total crypto MCAP of $5-$6T today
Leverage is killing the bull. Spot HODL is the real season.
We stand with Yonatan Sompolinsky.
His message is a needed reminder: crypto was born from the cypherpunk spirit - built on proof and ingenuity, not privilege.
At Kii, we carry that principle into the world of energy.
Building new markets for new commodities in old fragmented, siloed systems monetary or otherwise takes courage and the humility to challenge systems written by those who never built one.
Global infrastructure like Kaspa lets us reimagine what open, verifiable markets can be not just for money, but for energy itself.
Energy = Money.
That’s not a slogan; it’s a signal of what’s next.
As a holder of $KAS of course a Binance listing benefits me but to be honest it’s beyond the point here.
In this industry for the last 4-5 years projects building real things have not been given the attention nor respect that they deserve over speculative ‘gambles’
$KAS is a revolutionary cryptocurrency that has a huge community for a reason, a cryptocurrency that has made POW history and has a very bright future in crypto technological advancements.
This is an industry built on technological advancement and decentralisation.
Let’s make sure @cz_binance sees this
Actions speak louder than words
If Binance really cares about fundamentally strong projects, $KAS will be listed soon
Legendary post by @hashdag.
Yonatan won 1st in the Top 100 Blockchain People List because of the strength of the $KAS community.
Despite winning, he politely declines to speak in Dubai because @binance chooses to not list $KAS.
Yet, @cz_binance prides himself in listing a green frog.
As @binance is an industry leader, they MUST do better for the sound money movement.
Study #Kaspa. It isn't going away - in fact, it's getting stronger daily.
@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
