1/ Kaspa's Toccata hard fork is locked in.

Rusty Kaspa v2.0.0 hardcodes mainnet activation at DAA score 474,165,565 — estimated 16:15 UTC, June 30, 2026.

@pumpolinsky You shilled this lol

That's a really good question, but it's hard to answer in a single tweet because our mission is quite extensive, and it requires a lot of background knowledge to really understand what sets Kaspa apart.

Currently, a lot of people see Kaspa as “Bitcoin’s crazy little brother” that improves time-to-finality by leveraging the benefits of DAG-based consensus protocols without accepting their traditional drawbacks, such as decreased decentralization or a limited validator set.

This perception is somewhat accurate, but it falls short of conveying the full picture, because Kaspa’s vision extends far beyond just trying to be a better Bitcoin.

Anyone willing to study Kaspa and its broader vision will discover similarities to nearly all major existing DLT designs: from Bitcoin, to Ethereum, to Solana, Sui, Celestia, and beyond.

My personal view is that “research” in the DLT space is approaching a point of convergence. We increasingly understand how to push distributed systems close to the limits of what physics permits. The frontier is no longer only about raw throughput or faster finality. The attention is shifting toward game theory, incentives, sequencing, MEV, alignment, and how to build systems where the economic incentives of users, builders, miners, validators, applications, and infrastructure providers do not work against each other.

That is why debates like based rollups versus arbitrary sequencing, shared sequencing, MEV mitigation, proposer-builder separation, and execution-layer incentives matter so much. These are not niche technical details. They determine whether a network can remain neutral, decentralized, and aligned while scaling to global usage.

And this is where I think Kaspa is pushing the boundaries in a very important way.

Kaspa is not merely trying to be “fast.” The goal is to build an L1 where speed, decentralization, security, and incentives are aligned at the base layer. A system that does not scale by hiding complexity behind trusted committees, privileged sequencers, centralized validator sets, or opaque coordination mechanisms, but instead tries to preserve the spirit of proof-of-work while extending what an L1 can realistically do.

Because Kaspa arrived later than many other major projects, it does not carry the same degree of technological debt. It can absorb lessons from Bitcoin, Ethereum, rollups, modular blockchains, high-throughput monolithic chains, DAG research, MEV research, and the broader history of decentralized systems, and combine those lessons into something more optimal.

To me, that is what Kaspa is building: not just a faster blockchain, but a more incentive-aligned decentralized infrastructure layer.

But this also creates a different challenge.

Kaspa’s biggest problem today is not its technology. It is the lack of centralized coordination around communicating the vision. And because Kaspa is a grass-roots movement, that responsibility does not belong to a marketing department, or a single leadership team. It belongs to the community.

That also means the community has a different role to play.

There will always be holders who are mainly interested in price, and that is completely fine. But there also need to be people who are here because they want to use the technology to build a different future. People who care about the architecture, the incentives, the open questions, the trade-offs, and the long-term trajectory of decentralized infrastructure.

I am one of those people.

I am not interested in DLTs merely as a way to generate wealth. I am interested in them because I believe they can change the trajectory of humanity as a whole.

For that reason, I want to use this opportunity to announce a regular community hangout where we discuss the current state of development, the open questions, and where we can align our vision together.

The first session will be on Tuesday, June 9th, 2026.

We will talk about the vProgs framework, how the codebase works, what sets Kaspa apart, where we improve on existing solutions, and what still needs to be done. The goal is for this to become a regular, possibly bi-weekly, event where we as a community come together to discuss the future and understand the technology.

Eventually, we can invite people from other projects as well, but the main focus at the beginning will be explaining and communicating how things work under the hood.

There is still a lot of work to be done, and I do not want to waste precious time. So the first sessions may feel a little improvised, but we can improve as we go.

The important thing is that we start.

So mark the date: Tuesday, June 9th, 2026.

@Denzel781140 @CryptoBullGod Who said by 2028? lol

[Nano @N4noghost]

@DesheShai Would Kaspa be prepared for this? @DesheShai

[Nano @N4noghost]

@YStan__ You need to stop acting like a financial advisor and some genius on X, and charging people cash for it. You have no clue wtf is going on.

[Nano @N4noghost]

@YkeyWorld Mate I can see you playing Fortnite on discord, relax

[Michael Sutton @michaelsuttonil]

checkmate is coming to kaspa

[Nano @N4noghost]

@Crp_toGenwealth @martypartymusic I second this

[Nano @N4noghost]

@martypartymusic Hahahahaa. BTC is a totally different consensus compared to SOL and SUI. Why do you fail to mention that. SOL and SUI are POS. POW > POS.

You’re coping a lot of shit in the comments and rightfully so.

David (800k+ followers) has studied #Kaspa

David, what're your thoughts on $KAS?

[Nano @N4noghost]

@nafo_fafo_guy @marc02200 So what is the next wealth building method in your opinion?

[Nano @N4noghost]

@hashdag @Kasdaghopesfwo @VJCrypto_ @michaelsuttonil @KaspaSilver Is there a plan for core to solve these sorts of issues we are facing at the moment?

[Nano @N4noghost]

@YStan__ @hashdag Fantastic and mature response.

[Nano @N4noghost]

@bittensorism Look back into it and what is being built you would be surprised.

[Nano @N4noghost]

@mark_tech @martypartymusic Why haven’t you guys studied or spoken about Kaspa?

[Nano @N4noghost]

@martypartymusic Why don’t you speak about KAS in the same light?
