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.
Over the past two weeks, while the crypto market faced the largest liquidation event in history, wiping out 19.5 billion USD in leveraged positions and liquidating 1.6 million traders, Kaspa projects continued to build and break records. The network processed 158 million transactions in a single day, setting a new world record for the fastest proof-of-work blockchain and underscoring its unmatched scalability and resilience.
It's been an exciting week of growth and progress across the ecosystem. Kaspa core developer Ori Newman launched a new community Q&A platform, and Michael Sutton shared fresh insights on fast proof-of-work. Kaspa now has nodes on nearly every continent, and the Kaspa Education Series held another event in Nigeria. KasUnder appeared on the XXIM podcast to discuss their Bubble Maps and support for native KAS transactions
