The launch of smart contracts on Kaspa through Kasplex marks a major milestone for the ecosystem. Kaspa is known for its high-speed, scalable BlockDAG architecture; however, it has lacked native smart contract functionality until now. With Kasplex bringing EVM compatibility to Kaspa, developers can now build decentralized applications directly on one of the fastest and most secure proof-of-work networks. This opens the door for DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and other on-chain innovations to thrive on Kaspa, combining the programmability of Ethereum with the performance and security of Kaspa's unique infrastructure.
This past week brought crypto to center stage as the U.S. government hosted Crypto Week (July 14–18, 2025), a historic moment that marked a sincere push toward establishing clear digital asset regulations. While Kaspa remains a decentralized and international project with no known headquarters, these developments signal growing global momentum toward broader crypto adoption.
Proof-of-work is the most useful technology ever created, from creating the hardest form of money to securing the future of cyberspace and international Space Force Systems. Learn why, along with other Kaspa updates, in the new Weekly Knight.
