Kaspa continues to scale rapidly, surpassing one billion transactions, while advancing core protocol upgrades, expanding AI and DeFi infrastructure, and benefiting from the U.S. Clarity Act. One day, these one billion transactions will be one billion users, as this is the first time in history that hard money can build an entire financial system.
Kaspa is accelerating on all fronts—from Oxford Union recognition to a major May hard fork 2026 protocol upgrade. What we are especially excited about is Kaspian's move to the BLAKE3 hashing algorithm, which increases speed while maintaining a future with oPoW.
Kaspa’s ecosystem continues to expand with the release of Rusty Kaspa v1.1.0, while developers advance covenant tooling ahead of the upcoming hard fork. At the same time, new Layer-2 infrastructure, stablecoins, oracle systems, and experimental applications—from messaging platforms to AI assistants—emerge.
Kaspa development, across core and third-party ecosystem applications, is in full force - at the likes of which we've never seen before. DAGKNIGHT developmentment is finally in testing, covenant and zk R&D is expanding, and a wave of new apps are finally coming to fruition as we all march towards Kaspa’s Real-Time Decentralization vision.
