Will publish my interview with @hashdag when this post hits 500 likes
It’s edited and ready to go thanks to help from @web3creative_
If it doesn’t hit 500 likes by Sunday, I will just post it then 🫡
Yesterday I met @hashdag here in Romania
So we recorded a podcast on the road
Driving from Brasov to Bucharest
3+ hours of conversation about Kaspa development, Bitcoin, intents vs smart contracts, covenants, the rise of Zcash, game theory & stag hunt
Coming out next week!
my first Argent application: a name service and it was incredibly simple to build.
users can mint a transferable UTXO representing a unique name (~=NFT). they can transfer it, or co-spend it with another covenant-based application to prove ownership of that name: it's composable later.
uniqueness is enforced through a compressed sparse merkle tree, preventing the same name from being minted twice while keeping computation low. the tree implementation is useful beyond this showcase, which is another reason why i wanted to share it.
a worst-case sparse-tree insertion may require rebuilding up to 256 levels. @michaelsuttonil suggested exposing two registration paths: a bounded fast path for compressed proofs, and a general fallback. this reduces script size and compute budget hence network fees, in the common case.
reminder that kcc-02 (and soon kcc-03) are still being discussed and so the ownership and authentication model should not be treated as final, as is, it will not be inter-operable across wallet ecosystem, which should be an imminent focus.
this is a proof of concept rather than a full-featured reference name service. the goal is also to give developers and LLMs a concrete Argent example of these techniques.
started to record a short 10-min live-coding argent episode: a basic multi-actor ticketing app.
one hour later, episode 01 exists 😅

Kaspa's EVM layers passed a full stress test at 200x cheaper than Ethereum
Independent testing put Kasplex and Igra through 66 operations covering token transfers, DEX swaps, lending, and NFT minting. Both scored a 100% success rate with execution identical to Ethereum Sepolia.
Transaction costs came in over 200 times cheaper than Ethereum mainnet, all settling on proof-of-work. Post-Toccata, the $KAS ecosystem has a working EVM stack.
Crypto gave individuals sovereignty. Staghunt is betting the next frontier is the group version: coordination markets.

Kaspa community is no joke!
I officially told my team to work on a $KAS risk model.
Also wondering if I should buy some $KAS before the bull market gets out of hand.
P.S. I apologize for calling you bots in previous polls.
