Kaspa Native retweeted
Finally, Silverscript v1 is out [Link in the reply]. This completes the journey we started eight months ago with Toccata — it's finally possible to write human- (and AI-) readable smart contracts on Kaspa.
This language started simply as "CashScript with loops", but eventually grew into a full-fledged smart contract language capable of expressing complex, stateful contracts. It's always fun to look back at the first token mechanism @IzioDev and I worked on using raw opcodes, which took thousands of lines of code, and see the same thing implemented in just 60 easy-to-read lines of Silverscript.
I'm excited to explore the possibilities of UTXO programmability together with the Kaspa community, and this is only the beginning - Silverscript will evolve, Argent will add higher layers of abstractions, and I'm sure more people will find their own way of extending this new ecosystem.

A Kaspa-native name service prototype built with Argent
my first Argent application: a name service and it was incredibly simple to build.
users can mint a transferable UTXO representing a unique name (~=NFT). they can transfer it, or co-spend it with another covenant-based application to prove ownership of that name: it's composable later.
uniqueness is enforced through a compressed sparse merkle tree, preventing the same name from being minted twice while keeping computation low. the tree implementation is useful beyond this showcase, which is another reason why i wanted to share it.
a worst-case sparse-tree insertion may require rebuilding up to 256 levels. @michaelsuttonil suggested exposing two registration paths: a bounded fast path for compressed proofs, and a general fallback. this reduces script size and compute budget hence network fees, in the common case.
reminder that kcc-02 (and soon kcc-03) are still being discussed and so the ownership and authentication model should not be treated as final, as is, it will not be inter-operable across wallet ecosystem, which should be an imminent focus.
this is a proof of concept rather than a full-featured reference name service. the goal is also to give developers and LLMs a concrete Argent example of these techniques.
