Kaskad Testnet is coming! Soon, you will be able to experiment with Kaskad's game theory live on @Igra_Labs testnet. A lot of features have been packed for this version, from simple Supply/Borrow mechanisms to complex - yet playful - additional yield strategies involving onchain governance to adjust protocol parameters, and incentivized supply/borrow with uptime and TVL share mechanics. Shout out to @oxidique and @KaiReytsu for developing all this!

Kaskad@AppKaskad·
After conducting an independent legal opinion with our law firm Storm Partners, we’re thrilled to announce that our native $KSKD token is officially classified as a virtual asset and not a security under BVI law. What this means: • $KSKD is officially recognized as a utility and governance token designed to operate the Kaskad protocol, issued by our legal entity POW Incentives S.A., with clear legal foundations and long-term alignment. • Kaskad is free to onboard businesses, institutions, and legal entities into liquidity provision, helping the Kaspa network reach key liquidity markets. • Kaskad is now the very first legally authorized and fully compliant platform to provide lending and borrowing on Kaspa! Don’t trust, verify. Full legal opinion available here: drive.google.com/file/d/14lS8uH… @xximpod @Kaspa_Commons @Igra_Labs @Kaspa_KEF @coinathlete @Crumpet_Media @BlockchainBants

Over the past weeks we have been advancing both the protocol and the structure around it. The core development team is now in place, and engineering work continues to progress on the lending architecture and oracle development. In parallel, we have finalized the legal and organizational framework of the project. Our legal entity, POW Incentives S.A., is now registered in the British Virgin Islands (Company Number: 2189390) with a clear compliance and governance baseline. This step provides a stable and transparent structure for handling the token economy and treasury operations. It strengthens our long-term foundation as the protocol grows. This allows us to: • Coordinate treasury decisions through governance • Onboard contributors and partners under a formal structure • Provide participants with clear terms of engagement The foundations are now set from both a technical and organizational standpoint. We now move forward with product milestones and implementation. Next stop: detailing our tokenomic and governance framework. Stay tuned #Kaspa!

To learn more about the scientific approach behind the @AppKaskad oracle, here is the first scientific outline available for you below. @daedalium I know you’re interested in the topic, so you should enjoy this:
eliott@eliottmea

This is roughly what the @AppKaskad oracle should look like. My work is entirely financed by @Kaspa_KEF, and the oracle will be made available to any application on #Kaspa (once deemed tested + reviewed + audited enough). Or straight to the L1 (idk how all that works). fyi this isn't something that has been reviewed by or worked on with @hashdag, but is very much the culmination of my understanding of oracles. As yonni told me, I need to be better than him on multiple subjects. Oracles : check? DCLOBs : not yet. Now I need to get back to decentralized Nasdaq.

Unveiling our Fundraising Campaign through the $KSKD token A lot has been brewing behind the scenes, and it is time we start opening the doors. 📣Behold! The official Kaskad Campaign starts today: a full month of learning, discovery and community participation. It will be the first time we share the full picture of the protocol, including the role of the $KSKD token in the platform, and how the community can take part in the project’s next chapter. At #Kaskad, we do not take education lightly. In fact ,we believe that educating our participants at this stage is an absolute need. Here is what to expect by clicking on the link below: • Building the best lending platform on Kaspa - our approach and long-term vision • Understanding the Kaskad tokenomic.- interactive tools and guided explanations • Community Fundraising - a chance to take part in the early growth phase • Deep dive into Kaskad - interviews, events, technical sessions and Q&A • ...and a few more surprises! Kaskad is built by Kaspa lovers, for Kaspa lovers, which is why our fundraising campaign will be open to communities and DAO VCs only. Ready? Let the campaign begin! Rendez-vous here: kaskad.app/fundraising Invitation code: KASKADR1

Coming to @AppKaskad (and more generally to #kas) tldr; oracle inspire from the NA (no arbitrage) from math fin theory (which obv doesn't hold). Idea : if there were a single LOB across the market, oracles wouldn't make any sense. We need them only because of fragmented liquidity. Thus at a fixed time t, we aggregate snapshots from all CEX LOBs (assume for now kas only trades on CEXs). We use websockets such that, when an LOB updates (an order hits/cancels in the book), we receive the info sub 50ms or faster. Given there is natural arbitrage (no perfect market), the oracle simulates arbitrage in order to understand what the fair value is : the value above (resp. under) which there is net excess supply (resp. demand). Maybe our engine will try to fill the arb itself, didn't think about that yet. Ok we got fair value, is our oracle robust ? No. Although illegal, nothing prevents a CEX from manually overriding their API and displaying #KAS/USDT=0.000001, as well as setting a huge sell wall at 0.000002 with volume larger than all buy orders across venues. We let the reader understand how this would successfully manipulate the oracle. Two outlier detection methods that only work well when used together. The first, using survival analysis in order to detect if an arbitrage is lasting longer than usual (conditioned on market conditions such as volatility). Eg. usually an arb of 2% between MEXC and kraken is filled within 1s, weirdly it's taking 5s and the arb is still here : why is nobody taking the free money ? Hence we observe something we'll call epsilon-events (V_t being the volume of arb at time t): Problem w. the above, the same attack mentioned still works, because there is a huge arb (by a CEX creating fake sell wall), but the oracle will necessarily take a positive amount of time to flag the outlier. In that window, it will account for it and get wrecked. Second detection : Wasserstein-1 distance between exchanges. An LOB histogram can be seen as a pile of sand, and the distance from one lob to the other is the amount of energy (or trades) needed to move one pile of sand to the next. If for eg., in 1 update, kraken reports a change that we deem too large (has to be VERY carefully defined), we flag it as an outlier. The oracle should then attempt to profit from that HUGE arb opportunity, and if it doesn't manage to within eg. 50ms, successful flag. If it does manage, we profit huge money, we're/I'm rich and unflag. Now the only thing that needs to be really studied, apart from what parameters we use (will need @remao155 ML skills for this), as well as what can happen under collusion. Although imo collusion won't change much. challenge the idea and find some flaws cc. @maxibitcat, @emdin, @xximpod, @quex_tech, @madenis, @JC_G33K etc. @Kaspa_KEF will send report soon, on this as well as my work with yonni (both related anyways), @ColagrandePaul there is much work ahead, pls implement all the above ;)

@binance, Thanks for including me in the top 100 blockchain people list, appreciate the signal! I must decline the Dubai invite though. I do not wish to disrespect, but many of the award voters are avid kaspians who rooted for my kaspa status at least as much as for my research. Let them win or count me out. Crypto has turned from a euphoric cypherpunk project to a house-friendly casino. You may not be the culprit, but as a top player you hold the lion’s share of the responsibility to correct this, and the October crash your USDe oracle glitch helped trigger adds to what needs to be addressed. There are three classes of crypto, as @mert put it recently: commercial crypto, casino crypto, cypherpunk crypto. <> A TBTF CEX should know better and play a different game with hardcore crypto projects. When binance lists a green frog three weeks post its “launch” but skips a fair-launched-Nakamoto-Consensus-100ms-upgrade-ATH-top-20-the-only-nonbitcoin-marathon-mined project, this is not merely binance rationally calculating; it is also binance molding the market in a way that is alas misaligned with the roots of the movement. You may feel that kaspa’s sovereign money thesis is boring – that bitcoin is already money and that implementing an internet-speed bitcoin is useless - fine. Wrong but fine. But what’s the thesis for the green frog? Money is a classic chicken-and-egg product. It is a scam up until one moment before tipping point, “most of the value comes from the value that others place in it.” Considering your resources and influence, I think it's safe to say you can serve as both the egg and the chicken and make it worth your while to push sound attempts towards tipping point. @cz_binance tweeted recently that “strong projects will be listed.” But binance is part of what defines "strong", it bears responsibility for the market’s compass and impulse and definition of strong. It is not a read-only entity. Binance listing fees are legit, they are just unfit for category cypherpunk. Kaspa devs and early supporters fairly mined less than half what satoshi and hals mined. We don’t have a 20% ZEC-style founders’ reward or protocol-enforced dev fund; this is not a jab at ZEC and the wonderful @Zooko, who was crashing in my car on a late Thursday back in the low ZEC MC days – if somebody deserves to win it is zooko – but assuming binance is not taking a maxi bet, it should revisit its relationship with hardcore crypto. We are here through bull and bear, ICOs NFTs XYZs; and we are the source of confidence that restores faith and capital inflow post meme-induced or CEX-induced crashes. Please fix this. Thanks again, hashdag cc @michaelsuttonil Exhibit A: Binance Innovation Zone Exhibit B: 10 bps Nakamoto Consensus

Kaskad@AppKaskad·
To @hashdag @michaelsuttonil @OriNewman @coderofstuff_ and all other respectable Kaspa Core, as our goal is to democratize user adoption via lending and on-chain governance on the Kaspa Ecosystem, we feel it's only natural our project's success supports Kaspa L1 R&D, until such services can be used on L1 directly. This is why we're embedding the management of our future protocol fees via a DAO Treasury, with a parameter allowing voters to decide how much of these fees can be re-allocated to a Kaspa Core DevFund wallet. Question: There still is such an active DevFund wallet mentioned on kaspa.org with its own multisig set up, so how could we make this work? Would adding a DevFund EVM L2 wallet make sense to you? Or we could bridge fees back to L1. Open to discuss.

Pavel Emdin@emdin·
When discussing concepts [like sovereignty], the simplest test is: how does it affect me personally? For instance, as a KAS holder, I'd like to enable KAS collateralisation through apps like @AppKaskad -- to unlock working capital without losing exposure (in plain terms, borrowing stables against my KAS). Lending markets remain one of the most valuable primitives in DeFi, and they’re not something you simply re-write from the scratch. They demand polished, audited code, shared liquidity, and an ecosystem of oracles, DEXs, and liquidators. In general, decentralised economy thrive on shared primitives / legos: stablecoins, AMMs, lending, and prediction markets etc. So in this specific case, sovereignty of a lending market doesn’t bring much added value to me as a user. But deploying a private dark pool with custom execution rules? That's where vProg sovereignty wins.
