Kaspa, a Proof-of-Work protocol, has launched its Crescendo Hardfork upgrade aimed at increasing the network's block speed to 10 blocks per second (BPS).
Significance of Crescendo Hardfork
The Crescendo Hardfork upgrade significantly enhances the network speed, moving from 1 to 10 blocks per second. This is a crucial step for Kaspa blockchain, increasing the overall network throughput.
Testing and Validation
Kaspa announced the full transition of Testnet 10 to 10 BPS. According to developer Coderofstuff, the transition included validation of Initial Block Download, Post-Pruning Behavior, and Transaction Ordering, confirming the correctness of the upgrade logic.
Future Plans and Innovations
With the 10 BPS shift achieved, Kaspa aims to implement other innovations listed in the roadmap. A feature freeze is expected to be completed by March 20, with full mainnet activation scheduled for late April or early May 2025. TN10 is set to become one of the fastest PoW blockchains through its revolutionary GHOSTDAG technology.
The upgrade to 10 blocks per second opens up new opportunities for Kaspa, cementing its position as a leading blockchain.
