In the news this week: Kaspa’s 4th Birthday; an update to the 1,000 node challenge; Yonatan delivered a mic drop moment after winning the Binance Blockchain Innovation Award; Igra Labs released its litepaper for their based rollup L2 built on Kapsa; and Kaspa at the Dii Desert Energy sparks new interest for Kaspa in the clean energy space.
Welcome to the new weekly series covering traditional finance on-chain DeFi news beyond Kaspa (but with a Kaspa twist). Last week, Trump was featured again at the American Business Forum and on CBS 60 Minutes. Balancer exploit drained over $128M from V2 Composable Stable Pools, a new crypto legislation is advancing in the UK, Canada, and Malaysia, and Africa is paving the way for a continental stablecoin network.
This week we discuss ecosystem updates, research upgrades, and traditional finance tokenizing the world via Kaspian settlement.
As Kaspa approaches its fourth birthday, the network is celebrating with in-person events in Dubai, London, Nigeria, and New York, alongside the 1,000 Node Initiative and a Flux x Nacho Kat NFT giveaway. Kaspa developer Ori Newman appeared on the XXIM Podcast to discuss oracles and his journey with Kaspa, while Kaspa Silver shared a thoughtful warning about Kaspa L2s.
