Nicholas SismilToday, we sit down with Eliott Méa, a rising researcher in the blockDAG space. We break down the interview into four parts: centralized exchanges and their order-book mechanics; the current state of DeFi oracle systems, high-frequency trading systems and how they relate to Kaspa; and a closing section on Méa’s research future.
Kaspa’s recent updates show real momentum, with an early DAGKnight prototype already running core consensus logic. Alongside this, we have a clearer direction on vProgs and an upcoming covenant hard fork. Moreover, early DeFi, oracle, and media applications are on their way!
This week, we cover Yonatan showcasing Kaspa’s vision at TOKENIZE: LDN. Binance’s snub of Kaspa leaders sparked a “Bye-Nance” wave even as Kaspa gained media coverage, new projects, and expanding community tools. Moreover, major technical breakthroughs and growing global momentum are accelerating Kaspa’s ecosystem.
Institutional support for crypto is accelerating, with major players like JP Morgan launching a stablecoin, Cash App enabling stablecoin payments, and Franklin Templeton backing stablecoins and RWAs. Companies are integrating digital assets into their economies, and even Harvard tripled its Bitcoin holdings, signaling growing institutional confidence.
