**Official Toccata Release — Mainnet Hardfork Activation Included** (Links in reply)
We’re excited to announce the official Kaspa release containing the **Toccata Hardfork** activation logic.
Toccata is scheduled to activate on mainnet at DAA score `474,165,565`, expected around **June 30, 2026, 16:15 UTC**.
This is a consensus-changing upgrade. All node operators, miners, pools, exchanges, indexers, wallets, and infrastructure providers must upgrade before activation to remain compatible with the network.
Toccata introduces a major expansion of Kaspa L1 capabilities, including:
• **Native L1 covenant support** through transaction introspection, allowing for more expressive contracts, including stateful contracts
• **Covenant IDs**, providing stable covenant lineage across UTXO transitions, so covenant instances can preserve continuity as their state moves from one UTXO to the next
• **ZK proof verification on L1** via `OpZkPrecompile`, enabling to trustlessly offload computation off-chain.
• **Partitioned sequencing commitments**, improving support for based ZK applications by making lane-local proving scale with relevant activity rather than global throughput
Please upgrade as soon as possible and verify your nodes are running the new release well before the activation DAA score.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to designing, implementing, reviewing, and testing Toccata.
I was fortunate enough to witness the process behind this upgrade up close.
Half a year ago, the only thing we knew was that Kaspa had to become programmable, ASAP. This notion matured into a surprisingly complete and elegant solution in a very short period of time.
Building a development framework is a massive task, so the first attempts were to harness KIP-16's ZK verification opcodes to tap into existing ZK development frameworks, but we did not find a good enough fit.
One weekend Ori sat down with some leftover tokens, and Silverscript came out the other side.
The project grew quickly, and the compiler now enables a wide range of applications to be written and deployed directly on Kaspa in a high-level language (thanks to KIP-17 and KIP-20).
KIP-21 deserves its own post, but it allows for complex ZK-based applications and is a fundamental component of the full vProgs solution.
Together, all these turn Kaspa into an impressively expressive programmable money layer. From simple vaults, through basic contracts to complex multi-contract applications, alongside privacy apps and scalable batch-proving-based applications.
Toccata is the outcome of pure R&D -- deep research and hardcore development, done fast and in parallel (how fitting).
There’s still much work to be done to make the new capabilities more approachable, but it’s hard to understate the power, elegance, and completeness of what the best money layer in the world will soon allow us to express.
@michaelsuttonil@Max143672@OriNewman@IzioDev - Watching you guys work has been a masterclass. Thank you.
How do I know the media is brainwashing people?
Obama's ICE Chief received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service for removing over 900,000 illegal aliens.
Trump's ICE Chief is called a Nazi.
It is the same person.....Tom Homan....
The only difference? The narrative.
Today we're announcing that we have been actively mining Kaspa.
Diversification has been key to our investments in energy solutions and tech innovations, and it remains crucial in our digital asset compute operations. Read the full press release: https://t.co/rwiXIJCx7q
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.

$KAS (@kaspaunchained) is one of the more interesting takes on proof-of-work in recent years
Kaspa is a Layer 1 blockchain built on the GHOSTDAG protocol, which allows multiple blocks to be processed in parallel instead of competing with each other. This approach turns the traditional blockchain into a blockDAG, increasing throughput while keeping the security and decentralization of PoW
The network already processes around 10 blocks per second, with a long-term goal of scaling up to 100, bringing confirmation times close to real internet speed
At the same time, Kaspa stays true to the original vision of accessibility - its full node can run on standard hardware, without the need for specialized equipment
On top of that, it introduces a unique emission model where rewards decrease smoothly over time, following a structure inspired by the chromatic musical scale
Overall, Kaspa is focused on combining the reliability of proof-of-work with the performance needed for modern applications

The full video of @OxfordUnion address by #Kaspa Originator @hashdag is now live — including a 40-min address and a Q&A.
Dr. Yonatan Sompolinsky explained why the Internet is an unfinished democracy, why the problem isn't caused by bad actors but broken systems, and what crypto should actually be building. #staghunt #coordinationgames #whyCMatters

Kasmart has now set up a full integration with eBay! Any eBay sell can now sync their entire ebay store to Kasmart and begin to accept #Kaspa as a payment option!
It's time to grow our ecosystem to the main stream!
WarpCore now provides comprehensive support for:
1. **Fedwire** (US Federal Reserve wire transfers) - all tests passed
2. **SEPA** (Single Euro Payments Area) - all tests passed
All tests verify end-to-end payment processing, compliance screening, Kaspa blockdag settlement, and regulatory adherence for both global payment systems.
**Status: ✅ READY FOR INTEGRATION WITH FED/SEPA TEST ENVIRONMENTS**

Half of Americans are struggling to afford a normal life, but the Federal Reserve is spending $3 billion to build themselves a castle fit for a king.
$3 billion!
I don't know who is right or wrong on the recent allegations. The politics of it all are for someone else to figure out.
But it seems objectively ridiculous to lavishly spend this much money when our country is broke and in trillions of dollars of debt.
🚨 JUST IN: Venezuelans are literally crying TEARS OF JOY all because President Trump captured Maduro
"We want to thank GOD for His miracle!"
"THANK YOU, UNITED STATES!"
"Long live Venezuela!"
"Venezuela is great, and it will be resurrected among the ashes!" 🇺🇸🇻🇪
Trump just posted this video about Dominion voting machine fraud.
You think the timing is coincidence?
A Venezuelan Military Intelligence whistleblower confirmed the CIA outsources election rigging technology like Smartmatic and Dominion from Venezuela.
The government has been shut down for 36 days, the longest in US history -
And absolutely nothing about your life is different.
What is the lesson here?
