☀️ My solar panels covered the power costs of all 3 KS0 Ultra miners today.

The sun pays the bill, the miners stack the $KAS. ⚡⛏️🌱

Basically I'm like a tiny @MARA just operating from my house instead of a massive mining facility. 😄

[Michael Sutton @michaelsuttonil]

my timeline organically filled with 4 different kas core dev updates is something I’ve dreamed of for a while

[saefstroem @asaefstroem]

I will be attending the workshops organized for $KAS on the 1st and 2nd of July in London. Together we will explore the cross-section of AI accelerated ZK development.

If you are a student interested in the application of next-gen cryptography at a high-level, come meet us!

[Kaspa Kii @KaspaKii]

Following @Max143672's awesome XMSS work on TN10, theres the other post-quantum road on Kaspa.

We verified ML-DSA-44 (NIST FIPS-204) inside a @RiscZero zkVM and anchored the proof on-chain on TN10 using the KIP-16 ZK opcode.

Hash-based signatures can live directly in script. Lattice-based ones are much heavier (SHAKE + NTT + polynomial arithmetic), so ZK becomes the practical route. This applies the existing RISC0 → Groth16 path to post-quantum signatures. TN10 proof-of-concept only.

U know what is that? first post-quantum signature on kaspa just landed. XMSS^MT

The script is huge (~84KB) because it has to unroll a loop of ~1,650 hashings on-chain but it verifies. and it works.

isn't that cool?
toccata to everyone

[Seb @Seb28_7]

Help us getting the second core dev @asaefstroem to London! $500-ish

Help us incentivise the hackaton tracks by putting $500 or $1,000 as a reward for the winner. This will attract more teams to build on #Kaspa during the #Imperial hackaton.

Help us buy t-shirts for the Kaspians like @IzioDev being present so they can be recognized as such. $100-ish

Help us buy merch for the students so they can feel they are part of #Kaspa. stickers, prints, caps t-shirts and alike for $400-ish

And if we want more video's it will also be $500-ish to get some videos done by @Cryptopumpzzzz

You can help by donating $KAS towards this event. We are almost there! Help us get over the finish line!

Disclaimer: the above are guestimates, but still rather realistic.

Anyone who is up to making infographics and stuff for visualizing my stuff, it's all open source!

I'm very thankful for these kinds of posts! Community efforts :)

For builders and institutions evaluating settlement infrastructure or programmable money on a high-performance base layer: Every interesting thing about Kaspa is something the EVM structurally cannot do. State is local and linear a UTXO is consumed exactly once.
Composition happens at the transaction level, not through synchronous calls. The chain itself is concurrent by construction (GHOSTDAG).

Execution is gasless, bounded, and total. On top of this foundation, the script engine has been extended with powerful new primitives:
• Transaction introspection • Lineage tracking via covenant IDs in consensus • Native ZK proof verification

These are not layered on top of an account-based, gas-metered VM. They are native to Kaspa’s UTXO + BlockDAG model.
Solidity was designed for the opposite world: global mutable state, reentrant calls, ambient authority, and gas-metered Turing-completeness. Almost every famous EVM exploit is a direct tax on those fundamental choices.

These architectural properties predictable costs, inherent parallelism, and security by design are what make native high-throughput, low-risk programmable settlement on Kaspa particularly compelling for regulated environments, high-speed financial, energy and industrial applications.

Bitcoin was the Kaspa testnet. $KAS

[pushis @pushisNu]

@InvestwithDoc Wild opportunity

[Paul van Son @pvson]

You did a great job, Michael. Argent sounds like a well deserved reward, indeed. $KAS

[pushis @pushisNu]

@OfficialTravlad Epic idea, you know already you got the support

[Travladd 𐤊 @OfficialTravlad]

If I hosted a $KAS space every day Monday to Friday, who would attend at around 6pm UTC?

I have more time on my hands since becoming a full time trader.

I could try to introduce people with decent followings to Kaspa too.

[Classic @Classicxbt]

The #1 holder thanks you for your $KAS.

[pushis @pushisNu]

@OfficialTravlad @cryptomatt1983 $KAS is king indeed

[Kaspa Commons @Kaspa_Commons]

Great report, @emdin ! And it is exciting to hear the #Kaspa and @Igra_Labs vision and tech in action

[Kaspa Commons @Kaspa_Commons]

A great #Kaspa #Toccata readiness guide from Izio.

Most everyday Kaspa users don’t need to take any action. But if you operate infrastructure, run a node, manage a wallet, exchange, pool, explorer, or mining operation, now is the time to review the upgrade requirements.

Clear guidance. Clear timelines. A valuable resource as we head into Toccata.

Thanks, @IzioDev !

The Circuit Board of Money
Kaspa's Hardware-Native Programmability

A logic gate doesn't care what's energizing it. It reads an input state, applies a fixed condition, and switches - open or shut, one or zero.
The same gate logic runs on transistors, on relays, on pneumatic valves, on hydraulic ones. The condition is the constant. The medium is whatever's available.
Kaspa is a network of gates. The medium is sompi.

PART ONE: THE MEDIUM
ARCHITECTURE

Each UTXO Is a Gate with a Memory Cell
A UTXO is a gate-and-register pair.
The locking script and its covenant are the gate - a fixed condition that evaluates a signature, or a more complex rule, and either permits the transition or doesn't.
The sompi held inside is the register: a value sitting in storage, inert, until the gate in front of it switches.

When a UTXO is spent, the old gate doesn't pass its register through to the next one. It evaluates once, switches once, and the register it guarded is cleared.

What it held is written fresh into a new register, behind a new gate, under a new condition. No continuous state. No relabeling. One discrete evaluation, then the circuit moves on.

TIMING
10 Hz Global Clock - for the moment
Every gated system needs timing, or every gate would evaluate the instant its inputs happened to be ready, with no agreement on order.
Kaspa's GHOSTDAG provides that timing at 10 blocks per second - a real system clock, with the natural jitter any physical clock has. Inputs arrive close together but not perfectly aligned; GHOSTDAG resolves the order deterministically, the way a synchronizer resolves near-simultaneous signals into a clean sequence before the next stage reads them.
On every tick, any number of gates evaluate in parallel. Old registers clear. New ones latch, governed by whatever condition was just etched into them. The mempool is nothing more than inputs queued on the rail, waiting for the next clock edge to be read.

MATERIAL
What the Gate Is Made Of
Pneumatic gates are valves - metal and rubber, switched by pressure. Hydraulic gates are the same, switched by fluid instead of air. Both wear. Both can be forced under enough pressure in the wrong place. That's why real systems layer faster electrical control on top of slower mechanical gates - but speed and global agreement are different problems. A transistor switches in nanoseconds and still can't, by itself, get distributed actors on opposite sides of the planet to agree on order. It just switches. Agreement is a separate problem, bolted on afterward, in every system built before this one.

Kaspa's gates are built from code and cryptography - material as hard as the coin moving through it.

A covenant doesn't wear out, and it can't be forced; it can only be broken by breaking the cryptography itself, the same guarantee securing the sompi sitting in its register.
The gate and the register are made of the same kind of hard.
And the rate this medium switches at isn't just fast. It's agreed - globally, by every node, at the same time, with no separate coordination layer bolted on afterward.
The ordering is native to how the medium itself propagates.
That's the medium. It doesn't do anything on its own. It just switches, correctly, forever, with the whole network agreeing on every switch as it happens.
What it does next is up to whoever decides to harness it.

[moose.kas 𐤊 Themooseisloose @Themooseisloos5]

Afterword

So my view of this is multifaceted.
The ledger/utxo set together with sompi/sats is together a 3-dimensional plane, the time between state changes gives the fourth dimension.

A word to Satoshi, who understood that to create a medium of exchange (the basic utxo, a simple locked relay together with a memory of value) he must create the medium to exchange it first.
And since the ledger state isn't debasable in numbers and the mining/process of creating more/relaying old medium isn't debased, essentially perfect physical work to digital pay ratio. the "physical" plane(ledger space) and the time plane(block time) becomes the spacetime the medium moves within.

In the context of this post and what toccata brings (even without ZK)
Hard money was the simplest and dumbest application for this new medium.

On the other hand bitcoins block-spacetime is so ultra constricted, any more constriction by complexity of gates would not have made sense. It does one thing, store value(in form of a number of undebasable units of medium over time), and lets users exchange that medium.

Bitcoin, the coins, the sats, is a new element in a new periodic table of man-made digital physics bound by real world physics in a space that no human can taste or smell or touch.

Your mind makes it real because you can not disprove it. And even if you don't care - people trading it, pricing it based on supply and demand continously still makes it real wether you believe it or not.

But another word for utilization, the positive form, is weaponization, no explanation needed.
This medium of sompis is agnostic to what's being built, it just follows and orders according to the rules.

I'm just contemplating the powers we are dealing with here.

It might not look much to the world because we measure the system in Market Cap.
Which is pricing inert medium by the medium that moves. The MCap doesn't show anything directly. It does through time though.
It's not showing the market deciding, it shows what the market can not refuse to choose.
