Asymmetric Edge 𐤊

@bookofkas What? it's literally on the picture!! The picture literally shows a powerful entity chasing off civilians. Exactly opposite of what Kaspa symbolizes

@Asymm_Edge If its decentrilized how can you say it symbolizes in one view even though I didn't see it like that?

We’re excited to welcome Kaspa as a Silver Sponsor of UK AI Agent Hackathon EP5. Kaspa is a fair-launched, proof-of-work BlockDAG cryptocurrency built for real-time decentralization, combining the security model of proof-of-work with fast block rates and scalable network design. By using its BlockDAG architecture, Kaspa enables parallel block processing, aiming to deliver faster confirmations while preserving decentralization. Kaspa’s focus on scalable, decentralized infrastructure makes it a strong fit for a hackathon exploring autonomous agents, Web3 systems, and the next generation of open technology.

@Kasdaghopesfwo @anbrandenburger You have such a pathetic life bashing Kaspa all day. I really feel sorry for you. Imagine someone's life goal going to every Kaspa post and commenting something negative.

@anbrandenburger I have new idea too no one cares about the hard fork..there is no new interest coming the emissions cliff is approaching in days and miners shut down and the network will die

I have a new thought brewing. Give me your input👇 So right now if you want to participate in growing Kaspa’s hashrate, you need to buy, set up, configure, and run the mining equipment. What if users could rent hashrate power? Now I know this is already being done, but centrally. It requires trust of how the funds are used and how rewards are divided out. But could this (theoretically) change once Kaspa’s Toccata Hardfork rolls out with covenant spending rules? Rules on how the funds are used and how they’re divided out? Because essentially the funds could be locked up until certain conditions are met. Honestly, I am just articulating the theoretical concept. I am not quite sure how it would work on a technical level. But if this is possible, I believe this could grow Kaspa’s hashrate tremendously, especially considering it’d be the only proof-of-work capable of doing it decentralized like this… Thoughts? #Kaspa kaspa:native

Bitcoin was the Kaspa testnet. $KAS

I have high hopes from argent. I'm reminding everyone that last time @michaelsuttonil had some rest we got rusty-kaspa :)

prologue Taking my dr.’s (Sompolinsky) advice to rest a bit and have fun after Toccata’s release, I started experimenting with argent: a small high-level DSL for multi-contract covenant apps that produces silverscript code. Please don’t laugh at this definition of “rest” ;) Releasing heavy core consensus upgrades carries a massive burden of mainnet responsibility. Playing with language compilers and application structure is exploratory work. So yes, for some ppl, it might genuinely feel like resting. --- About three months ago, during the development of Toccata and silverscript, Ori (@someone235) threw a quick sentence at me: “You can implement a mechanism similar to MAST using ICC.” (Stay with us if you want to understand what MAST is and why Ori was only partially right.) Around that time, I started playing with complex scripts over silverscript and mostly tried to understand what a complex contract system over the new Kaspa script engine/silverscript could look like (or if one could be built at all). One thing led to another and I started trying to develop a chess game over silverscript. “okay codex, let’s start developing chess, let’s start with a chess game with basic movement rules, no complications. An array of 64 cells representing the board, public keys for black/white, turn, movement. The bare minimum that is still sufficiently complex.” Of course, the first attempt didn’t go so well. As is fitting for a compiler in its early days, I quickly reached a state where I was the first one walking through certain code paths. This triggered a burst of contributions to silverscript itself and/or finding temporary workarounds. The second attempt got stuck on the boundaries of the script itself. It turns out that implementing all the game rules for every possible piece plus scan loops statically unrolled to 64 iterations is, how should I put it, not really workable and tends to blow up. I came to the conclusion that the logic needed to be shattered into different contracts, meaning different scripts. But how do you do that within the boundaries of a game? And what if I want to implement a decentralized chess league with players and scores that persist and update over time? (By the way, chess is a complex and interesting test case for development, but don’t mistakenly think for a second that this discussion is limited to or aimed at games.) >>

The Architectural Edge: Why Kaspa Outpaces Ethereum for DEX Infrastructure Building a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) on a traditional single-chain blockchain like Ethereum is like trying to run a high-frequency trading firm on a narrow, one-lane highway. While Ethereum pioneered automated market makers (AMMs), its sequential design forces every transaction to wait in a single queue. Kaspa’s BlockDAG architecture—complemented by the Toccata hard fork—rebuilds the Layer 1 foundation to handle the intensive demands of decentralized trading natively. Kaspa offers several architectural advantages that make it a superior backbone for a modern DEX compared to Ethereum. Parallel Processing vs. Sequential Bottlenecks Ethereum processes transactions sequentially. One block is added at a time, roughly every 12 seconds. When thousands of traders rush to swap assets during market volatility, the network bottlenecks, causing a massive surge in gas fees. Kaspa replaces the single blockchain with a Directed Acyclic Graph (**BlockDAG**). Using the GHOSTDAG protocol, the network processes multiple blocks **in parallel** simultaneously (~10 blocks per second on mainnet). For a DEX, this means transactions don’t get jammed in a single queue; trades are woven together concurrently without degrading network performance. Structural Defense Against Predatory MEV Because Ethereum relies on a public mempool where a single block producer dictates the exact sequential order of transactions every 12 seconds, **Maximal Extractable Value (MEV)** bots thrive. They spot a pending trade and "sandwich" the user—buying right before them and selling right after—forcing the trader to execute at a worse price. Kaspa's Advantage: Real-time decentralization dismantles the mechanics of MEV bots. With Kaspa producing blocks at a rapid-fire pace, there is no single consensus leader holding a monopoly over transaction ordering for long intervals. Rapid parallel block creation and real-time sequencing make it virtually impossible for bots to accurately predict the state and insert predatory sandwich attacks. Traders get the exact execution price they expect. Sub-Second Latency (CEX Speed, DEX Security) Waiting 12 seconds for a block—and minutes for true finality—is a lifetime in live trading. While Layer 2 rollups speed up execution, they fragment liquidity, introduce bridge vulnerabilities, and complicate the user experience. Driven by the Rusty Kaspa engine, the network features sub-second block times. After just 10 seconds, a trade has accumulated roughly 10 layers of confirmation deep within the DAG structure. A DEX on Kaspa delivers the instant, responsive user experience of a Centralized Exchange (CEX) while settling entirely on an ultra-secure, decentralized Layer 1. . Predictable, Sub-Cent Transaction Fees High traffic turns Ethereum into a playground for whales, where a simple token swap can easily cost $20 to $100+ in gas fees. Because Kaspa scales horizontally at the base layer rather than relying on vertical scaling, the throughput handles massive volume natively. Transaction fees remain consistently sub-cent (<$0.01), making micro-swaps and algorithmic high-frequency trading economically viable for retail users.

@AlexCryptoDubai @tulvnttu @Kaspa_HypeMan By saying 'trialed and tested' you mean a Claude generated basic website and their tweets?

@tulvnttu @Kaspa_HypeMan $KAS has that already, trialled and tested - WarpCore.

GM $KAS FAM Like I've said, I expect a hard and fast upside for $KAS when it happens and dont get greedy waiting for $1!!! What's coming next will break a lot of people...

Today Kasia public nodes were under a dos-like attack. The gateway took millions of requests, so we added temporary limits, blocked suspected abusive sources, and deployed an extra protection. Nodes are healthy again, and we’ll keep watching the next days

It is great to see SilverScript being used in the wild. Kaspa Core devoted time and effort to make it possible to develop and deploy contracts on Kaspa. Now this is exactly the right time and place to let creators play, experiment, and discover what can be built on top of it.

@benjamincowen You forgot how much Satoshi and Hal Finney mined for themselves in the early days.

One of the main use cases of altcoins is to make the founders rich. People forget about that in the bull market, then point fingers in the bear.

Just in time before my trip to Berlin ✈️ to meet the team of @Igra_Labs i’ve successfully finished setting up my own node $KAS It took me exactly 2 minutes with the help of AI.

since many (~4) asked me about the zcash bug - - - earlier this year I had this convo with a zcash core dev: zk: it's weird that kaspa is pruning past records me: why does it need to keep 'em? zk: the whole point of ledgers is to prove correctness of all state transitions me: the whole point of ledgers is to provide focal points for the consensus state zk: the whole point... me: hmm then why did you come work in zcash? you know the Sprout->Sapling counterfeiting bug zk: Turnstile guarantees that the counterfeit could have been very limited me: true but you still cannot prove or even reason about correct state transitions besides the total supply cap zk: that's actually a good point ---- the most hardcore cryptography coin is shifting away from correctness proofs to practical-enough proofs. I believe this is a step in the right+practical direction, yet the paradigm shift should not go unnoticed - -cryptography is giving way to consensus. if you came to zcash for cryptographic integrity, reconsider. there are many good reasons to root for zcash prospering. zcash is serving a more important role than bitcoin, whose utility for the original mission is by now blurry. cryptographic integrity is/should not be one of those reasons. ---- BTW the bug should definitely have been exploited. I don't know the personal values of Taylor Hornby, and I shouldn't be required to make the effort to learn them. I only know that if I found such an exploit, it wouldn't take me more than a few minutes to tempt myself into printing a longint amount of ZEC and deciding later what to do with it. I wouldn't necessarily use it to exit the pool immediately and corrupt the supply, I'd wait to see if some portion of the broken pool does not seem to migrate on time (probably lost funds), in which case I would not think twice before claiming the funds myself. you could argue that no harm done, and you might be right, but then again you are here -- in zcash / in crypto -- for its consensus dynamics, the ability to coordinate interests and convictions across different trust zones around some shared asset; not for some pristine mathematical integrity.

**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.

@CaffeinatedUser @diamondpolobear @LukeDashjr You don't get sarcasm, do you?

@diamondpolobear @LukeDashjr He literally said 2 days ago he thinks it's a scam and will block anyone using his name to pump it. I don't think this is true

Bitcoin Core developer @LukeDashjr claims Kaspa is Bitcoin on steroids.
