In less than 24 hours, toccata will go live on the #Kaspa BlockDAG 🔥
Tomorrow (Tuesday) at around 4:15 p.m. UTC, it’s finally happening 🚀
@KaspaSilver, are you doing another livestream?
You can find the countdown here: https://t.co/ZacrkNzVho
#DYK?
Today, March 12th, Yonatan Sompolinsky @hashdag will speak at the @OxfordUnion .
For over two centuries the Union has hosted presidents, prime ministers, economists, and a small number of technology founders such as @BillGates , @stevewoz , and @jimmy_wales.
When the Union invites someone connected to crypto or digital infrastructure (there have been only a few), the interest usually centres on three areas:
💵Foundational questions about money and economic systems
🥼Serious cryptography and academic research
🌎Technologies that may influence governance or society
Sompolinsky has spent well over a decade researching scalable consensus, beginning with his doctoral work at Hebrew University of Jerusalem @HebrewU. His research on blockDAG protocols, including the GHOSTDAG family of consensus ideas, has been cited in thousands of technical publications studying distributed systems.
Those ideas eventually became the foundation for #Kaspa.
While parts of the #Cryptoland industry still overlook the project, the places that engage ideas, research, and infrastructure are paying attention.
March 12 is another signal that these ideas are reaching the stages where foundational technology is debated and taken seriously.
Kaspa must become a globally trusted asset... It must pass the eye test of institutional credibility.
Yonatan Sompolinsky states...
"First things first, for Kaspa to become a money, a globally trusted asset in the order of today’s trillions of US dollars, the community’s culture must be conducive to becoming the cradle of money. Some degree of tension and contention must linger in the air for the moneyness properties of a society’s collectible to emerge. Our rivals, our competitors and adversaries, must feel comfortable storing their wealth herein. High net worth individuals who distrust this author —hopefully the club has grown larger in the past 48 hours — must feel Kaspa is nonetheless an absolute safe haven for their wealth. It must pass the eye test of institutional investors. Kaspa must Bitcoinize." From "In which we are all faceless until we have faces"

📣 Kaspa L1 News Update: Oct-Nov 2025
It's been an exciting few weeks for the @kaspaunchained ecosystem. Here are some of the most important highlights... ⬇️
If your project is strong, exchanges will race to list your coin. If you have to beg an exchange to list, then... You need to ask yourself why, and who is providing value to whom. - @cz_binance
Correction: If $KAS is strong, exchanges will race to list your coin....if you pay us ~ 40 million USD.
@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
