This week, there were several important updates and exciting developments across the Kaspa ecosystem. The Kasplex L2 (layer 2) launch has been delayed, with the team taking extra time to ensure a flawless rollout. Meanwhile, Zealous Swap, Kasplex, and the Kaspa Alliance for Transparency (KAT) announced a collaboration to build a secure bridge between the Kaspa layer 1 (L1) and Kasplex layer 2 (L2) for KRC20 tokens.
It’s been a packed week for Kaspa, with exciting developments across the ecosystem. Dr. Yonatan Sompolinsky sat down for a marathon seven-and-a-half-hour interview, diving deep into Kaspa, while a new KIP proposal explored strengthening Kaspa’s quantum resiliency.
In this Weekly Knight, we discuss the potential harm of, or lack thereof, quantum computation to the crypto and blockchain sphere. Also, read about the new KEF research regarding stablecoin theory and Kaspa ecosystem updates across the board.
Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

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.
