Quick TN10/Toccata update from @michaelsuttonil "As part of the final ZK audit, we found a few Groth16 verifier hardening fixes that should be included before #Toccata is finalized for mainnet. PR #1013 adds this activation-gated hardening: stricter Groth16 input/VK/proof handling, plus per-public-input pricing. Together, these prevent worst-case constructions that could exceed our 10ms-per-block benchmarking target. We are also adding one last SMT polish, suggested by @hus_qy and Max during final review while building the vprogs/based-apps infrastructure. Each seqcommit includes a context hash with block-related info; we want to add an inactivity_shortcut link there to the seqcommit from F-time back. This lets inactivity proofs hop through these shortcuts instead of walking long linear paths, while also avoiding a dependency inside the zk guest on the exact inactivity threshold. Since these changes are consensus-facing, they need to go through a fast TN10 HF/release cycle before we finalize Toccata for mainnet. The work is expected to complete in the next 1-2 days, followed by a fast TN10 activation cycle with up to 24h of prep time. After that, the finalized logic will be PRed back into Toccata without the special TN10 activation scaffolding, and mainnet activation can move forward."

The Toccata hardfork stack is now ready, and we’re entering the final stage before mainnet activation: a full hardfork activation on Testnet-10. The scheduled activation point is: May 18, 2026, 16:00 UTC DAA Score: 467_579_632 Everyone is welcome to join and mine on testnet, so we can verify the transition works fine before mainnet activation. I wrote detailed instructions for joining as a testnet miner (Link in reply)

To me the bottleneck on this "legit defi usage" is the aggregate bizdev talent in kas ecosystem. I guess we'll be able to assess how we score on that once Tocatta launches with the necessary primitives and features. (And since we can't know for sure, and while others are making hopefully successful efforts to attract existing defi activity from other chains, I am attempting a parallel trajectory to bootstrap coordination markets on kaspa. Hopefully at least one of these efforts succeeds.)
