The Kaspa blockchain project is making significant strides in its development with the Crescendo Hardfork upgrade, increasing processing speed to 10 blocks per second.
Announcement of Transition to 10 BPS
Recently, Kaspa announced that Testnet 10 (TN10) has fully transitioned to producing 10 blocks per second (BPS). This significant milestone followed the activation of the Crescendo Hardfork on March 7, 2025.
Technical Aspects and Upgrade Confirmation
According to a Kaspa developer known as Coderofstuff, the transition on TN10 involved validation of processes like Initial Block Download (IBD), Post-Pruning Behavior, and Transaction Ordering (via KIP15). These tests confirmed the correctness of the upgrade's logic.
Future Goals and Kaspa Development
With the achievement of 10 BPS, Kaspa will focus on unique innovations outlined in their roadmap. A near-term goal is to complete the feature freeze by March 20, with mainnet activation expected in late April or early May 2025.
The current upgrade makes Kaspa one of the fastest PoW blockchains, paving the way for new advancements. Successful implementation of the new protocol sets the stage for further achievements.
