The first Kaspet has hatched on Kaspa mainnet 🐣
Meet Elmulk. Here’s the hatch, then a few minutes of being a pet.
Stroke it and it purrs. Toss its pebble and it plays. Friends drop by the tank, and when it’s tired it naps. Feed and Play are real transactions. They top up n, and the tank lights up in the pet’s own colours.
Each pet is a Toccata covenant UTXO held by your own key. Turn on X-ray mode and the sprite peels back to its redeem script, byte for byte: owner, birth, genes, hunger clock. The pet is the script. @KaspetApp
This is early beta. More features switch on over the coming week. Hatch yours: kaspet.app

Thanks for the warm birthday wishes, @RyptoCrypto and your years of Kaspa-centric reporting.
$KAS just turned five, and the fair launch still stands out.
Kaspa launched in November 2021 with no pre-sale, no ICO and no insiders getting a head start. Just proof-of-work, like Bitcoin, built to be seriously fast with BlockDAG.
Five years on the numbers are proper. Over 2.4 87 million blocks. Getting on for 600,000 wallets.
The biggest stat though. It survived. $KAS made it through some of the most brutal years crypto has ever seen, the kind that wiped out hundreds of projects.
And it is not standing still. Developers are pushing toward smart contracts and stablecoins, which would open Kaspa up to a whole new world of apps.
One catch. Those new capabilities are still being built, not fully live as everyday apps yet.
Happy birthday $KAS. Surviving five years as a fair-launch proof-of-work chain is rarer than the hype cycle admits.

“want to sell to the world realtime decentralization as a service? influence it!”
Can we get an AMEN here!?
Can we get an AMEN here!?
widespread adoption of miner attestation oracle services, aka RTD, should definitely be an incentive for Kaspa miners and the Kaspa community to decentralize mining to the maximum, assuming we want to propose and showcase to the world the real value this attestation system can provide.
my point is, don’t analyze the current situation as a given, but rather use this opportunity and incentive to change the state of affairs. want to sell to the world realtime decentralization as a service? influence it!

Five years ago, a small light appeared in the crypto universe. Today, that flame is burning brighter than ever, and the real world is beginning to take notice.
What an incredible five years it’s been. From the first block to the innovations still unfolding, Kaspa continues to pment keeps advancing, adoption is growing, and new applications and opportunities continue to emerge.
This animation captures just a few of the milestones along the way. There’s far more to the story, and so much more still to come.
Congratulations to the Kaspa core team and everyone who has contributed since day one. To the builders, miners, researchers, academics, ambassadors, merchants, enterprises and the wider Kaspa community, this celebration belongs to all of you.
Happy 5th Birthday, Kaspa! 💚

From @IzioDev in Discord.
"We encourage node operators who haven't yet upgraded to RK v2.1.0 to do so, especially those running production or mining infrastructure.
Over the past three months, we've received roughly a dozen reports from independent security reporters, terest in reviewing Kaspa's implementation.
This is something we want to encourage. Having more independent eyes on the code, challenging assumptions, and finding edge cases is an important part of keeping a decentralized network robust.
We're opening the first reward round for the RK v2.1.0 release. You can see the details of the release security-wise here as-well as the reporter credits.
Maintainers estimated the following targets:
- timestamp underflow: 6,000 Kas.
- bech32 panic: 2,000 Kas.
- compressed parent DoS vector: 4,000 Kas
Totaling in 12,000 Kas.
Here is the address for this funding round: kaspa:pzqpl8yauke670565xa2uhkzmg389w5h8x3x7d0fpj3vmy3mjx9y2x0l4vfl7, owned by @michaelsuttonil , @OriNewman and myself in a 2 on 3 multisig.
📆 Deadline is 14 days, 17th November 2026 is the last day after which funds will be proportionally distributed no matter how much has been filled as explained in the first linked message.
Thanks to all the maintainers, contributors, and independent reporters who continue to dedicate their time to improving Rusty Kaspa."

I got to help orchestrate an appearance by @cz_binance at Oxford Union .. he spoke very well and did not shy away from explaining the recent incident.
At the champagne reception I got to speak to him and his team in person and he is a very nice and approachable guy.. We touched AS and @BinanceUS
Nice work @kasmedia team and @oneforonehaha to make this happen meow :)

"Quite a lot of possibilities here, especially for projects that need stablecoins to actually work." ~ @coinathlete
Great initiative, @kaspador_
Great initiative, @kaspador_
If this goes ahead, I'll be one of the signers for the bridge.
The idea is to have 5 independent community members, with 3 out of 5 signatures needed to approve transactions.
This could bring stablecoins and liquidity from Ethereum and BNB Chain directly to Kaspa L1. Think about what this could mean for DEXes, trading, payments and other apps being built on Kaspa.

Thanks for the added Intel,@asaefstroem. Not sure if you saw our list of questions as well. Maybe they could just be added to an FAQ and chipped away as time allows. Thanks for this major effort towards adoption!
Thank you for this tweet, @KaspaSilver. I am going to address your concerns, piece by piece.
Concern 1 & 2: "Missing whitepaper, and no R&D"
I understand your point about the missing whitepaper. This is still in progress as it needs to be written in a certain way and have the necessary proofs, statements in order to bring the value that a whitepaper does. It is totally acceptable to be wary of donating before you see a concrete spec. The reasoning behind opening the fundraiser before those are finished is primarily for brand awareness, the fundraiser progress so far has exceeded my expectations.
It is not the case that no R&D has been done earlier, in fact I have been working on the stablecoin initiative for the last 6 months already, where primarily focus has been on communicating with centralized issuers. Unfortunately, centralized issuers are resistant to deploying on Kaspa for primarily two reasons:
1. because of the lack of anticipated volume.
2. because the needed infrastructure is missing.
I, of course disagree with this statement as there can be no volume without DeFi, hence it is a chicken and egg problem. The implementation of @KaspaDollar, would therefore not be "just a stablecoin from scratch" but a:
1. fully decentralized stablecoin
2. build the needed infrastructure that centralized issuers need in order to operate
3. bring the first needed volume in order to validate Kaspa's DeFi potential that is needed for issuers to bring their assets.
Therefore, @KaspaDollar is indirectly an effort to bring USDC/USDT onchain.
Concern 3: "Decentralized stablecoins are problematic."
Decentralized stablecoins utilize a decentralized asset as collateral, this means they are backed by whatever the collateral is most usually traded against, which for now is the U.S dollar.
When it comes to regulation the situation is complex, however we can break it down:
1. Looking at EU, MiCA (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114), Recital 22 it is stated that: "where crypto-asset services are provided in a fully decentralised manner without any intermediary, they should not fall within the scope of this Regulation" and "where crypto-assets have no identifiable issuer, they should not fall within the scope of Title II, III or IV".
2. Looking at, US, GENIUS Act (signed July 18 2025), Sec. 2 defines a "payment stablecoin" as a digital asset whose issuer is obligated to convert or redeem it for a fixed amount of monetary value. In our case, @KaspaDollar has no identifiable issuer.
3. The freeze/blacklist requirement you are referring to is Sec. 4(a)(6) of the same act, and it applies to "permitted payment stablecoin issuers", i.e. centralized issuers like USDT and USDC.
4. Freeze and blacklist functions exist because a company holds USD in a bank and is a regulated entity. There is neither a bank account behind @KaspaDollar nor a company behind it. There will be no developer fees and no upgradability. This will also apply to the oracle itself.
Concern 4: "Decentralized stablecoins are hard to list on exchanges"
The current market situation says the contrary:
1. DAI/USDS is listed on Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, MEXC, Kraken etc. and has no freeze functionality. Now it is true that they have the possibility to enable this, but at its current stage it is still unfreezable yet listed on most major CEX's.
But more importantly, a CEX listing is not the goal for @KaspaDollar and having this expectation, misses the point what it is for.
DAI was not built to be traded on Binance, it existed so that Ethereum DeFi had a stable value of account that lived onchain. Following its creation, everything else was built on top of it.
On Kaspa, we have the same gap today:
1. there is no dollar on L1,
2. no stable pair for a DEX,
3. no stable asset to lend or borrow against,
4. no way to take profit without leaving the chain,
5. no reason for anyone to build any of that.
Every DeFi primitive starts with a stable unit of account, and there is not going to be one from a centralized issuer without having seen some kind of evidence that sufficient volume is to be expected. Therefore, @KaspaDollar is the first one to take on that risk.
So the order that I believe in is not: "get USDT, then DeFi". It is "create a decentralized native stablecoin, build the DeFi, show the volume, and then the issuers come".

With the recent @binance hack, we’re curious about how #Kaspa’s technology could help exchanges prevent or limit similar breaches.
Kaspa’s #Toccata upgrade introduced native covenants, allowing developers to build custody systems with spending limits, withdrawal conditions and other security measures enforced directly on L1. Even if a wallet’s private key were compromised, transactions would still need to satisfy those conditions.
These capabilities apply to assets secured through Kaspa’s network, but we’re wondering whether they could have broader applications.
A question for Kaspa’s developers:
Could Kaspa’s technology eventually help exchanges strengthen withdrawal security across multiple blockchains, including BTC, ETH and stablecoins?
We’re interested in understanding what’s technically possible, what limitations exist, and whether Kaspa could play a role in protecting assets beyond its own network.
