Kaspa is making significant strides in the development of its blockchain system. The Crescendo Hardfork upgrade has been a major milestone, with the network now successfully operating at 10 blocks per second.
Testnet 10 Transition
Recently, Kaspa announced that Testnet 10 has fully transitioned to a rate of 10 blocks per second. This marks a crucial phase for the blockchain, following the Hardfork activation on March 7, 2025.
Details of Crescendo Hardfork Update
A Kaspa developer, known as Coderofstuff, revealed on social media that the transition on TN10 involved extensive validation of Initial Block Download, Post-Pruning Behavior, and Transaction Ordering (via KIP15). These components confirmed the upgrade's logical correctness.
Future Plans
Having achieved 10 BPS, Kaspa plans to focus on other innovations outlined in its roadmap, committing to a feature freeze by March 20. Full mainnet activation is targeted for late April or early May 2025.
The Testnet 10 update represents a key step in Kaspa's advancement. A significant milestone towards creating one of the fastest PoW networks, thanks to the GHOSTDAG protocol, enabling the parallel creation and confirmation of blocks.
