A community-centric channel amplifying the real-world impact, everyday benefits, & the people powering adoption. Kaspa: Empowering People | Powering the Planet


The Kaspa community just pushed 179M transactions through the DAG on a community experiment. No incentives. No airdrops. Just people who genuinely want to see this technology succeed.

Completely rebuilt the Kaspa News app - from a web-wrapped Capacitor version to native Flutter. New design, fully customizable app. This allows adding new features much easier. Most importantly, it now feels instant compared to the older Capacitor version. You can download it now and those who already have it installed should update. iOS is coming soon. Really need feedback from those who are using it! Theme: Light, Dark, or System Tabs: drag to reorder any of the tabs Dedicated user feeds: toggle individual accounts on/off in Developers, Focused and Ecosystem tabs Text size: adjustable across all feeds Font selection Card scale: resize tweet cards Compact text mode Max lines per tweet Show/hide: media, link previews, quote text




THEY DID IT. The SEC and CFTC just dropped a landmark document that officially classifies crypto assets. They're actually telling us which crypto assets are securities and which ones aren't - by name! THIS IS SOMETHING GENSLER REFUSED TO DO (he focused on prosecuting crypto out of existence) This rule doc gives crypto many of the benefits of the clarity bill - it lifts us out of the gray market - it gives every asset a path. It's almost like the Clarity act just passed by way of regulator. (of course, the actual clarity act will harden all this into legislation and make it irreversible in the event we get another Gensler, we still want it) This rule says there's 5 categories for crypto assets: 1) Digital Commodities - assets tied to a functional, decentralized crypto system (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE). Not securities. (yes, they name them on page 14) 2) Digital Collectibles - NFTs, meme coins, artwork tokens, in-game items. Not securities (fractionalized collectibles may be an exception). 3) Digital Tools - membership tokens, credentials, domain names (e.g., ENS). Not securities. 4) Stablecoins - payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are not securities. Other stablecoins, it depends. 5) Digital Securities - tokenized versions of traditional securities. Like tokenized stocks. Always securities. Amazing! This makes so much sense I can't believe it's coming from a regulator. No more enforcement threats to Ethereum developers and crypto exchanges. How about the Howey test? More common sense! If an issuer makes specific promises of managerial efforts from which buyers expect profits, the offering is a security until those promises are fulfilled. Then it's a commodity. The asset itself was never the security, the deal around it was. (E.g. XRP was a security pre launch, became a commodity after). How about stuff like staking and mining? Mining? Not a securities transaction. Staking? Also not a securities transaction, that includes custodial and liquid staking even with LSTs! How about wrapping BTC? Not a securities transaction. Airdrops? NOT SECURITIES. NO MORE GEO BANS PROTECTING AMERICANS from free airdrops. Remember this is a joint doc from the SEC and CFTC, They're actually cooperating on this, no internal strife, this is binding to both. SEC regulates $80-100 trillion assets CFTC regulates $5-10 trillion assets Both of the world's largest capital markets are showing us that crypto assets are here to stay and they're welcome alongside traditional assets. Every country will follow. This is the biggest move toward legitimacy I've seen in all my time in crypto. Maybe bigger than the genius act since is covers all crypto assets. Well done @MichaelSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins. And especially well done to the indefatigable @HesterPeirce. Her fingerprints are all over this, couldn't have happened without her eight years of principles-based curiosity.

It’s official: @ELLIPAL has gone above and beyond to fully embrace the #Kaspa ecosystem, honoring their commitment made last Christmas. The integration is now live, and more than what they promised: #Kaspa L1 supported on the Titan series; @Kasplex supported across the entire product line, including the Titan series and X Card. In a market where security is everything, @ELLIPAL gives #Kaspa users a smarter way to stay in control: no cables, no Bluetooth, no unnecessary exposure. Just secure, independent, next-level self-custody designed for serious holders. We are currently crafting a special batch of #Kaspa x @Kasplex co-branded wallets. We can’t wait to hand these out to our beloved #Kaspa Fam during our offline events this year. See you on the road. 🌍 ellipal.com/pages/kaspa-wa…

"What Igra does is take the Kaspa L1 and make it approachable for any institution, builder, or DeFi project that already builds on EVM. We're making Kaspa turnkey for anyone already in crypto, whether that's a builder team or an agent." - @argonmining

@VitalikButerin @colludingnode @drakefjustin This is indeed (one of) the case(s) for fast pow (eg kaspa) > “in pos, fast confirmations press directly against decentralization. In fast pow, the two properties are decoupled” full argument: x.com/i/status/19738…
