Kaspa is making significant strides in blockchain development, successfully implementing the expansive Crescendo Hardfork upgrade aimed at increasing block speed to 10 blocks per second.
Crescendo Hardfork: Key Changes
The Crescendo Hardfork upgrade aims to significantly increase block speed. The goal is to enhance network performance from 1 to 10 blocks per second (BPS), boosting transaction processing speed and efficiency.
Testnet TN10: Shift to 10 BPS
Recently, Kaspa announced on social media the full transition of Testnet TN10 to a speed of 10 BPS. This achievement marks a critical stage for the blockchain following the Hardfork activation on March 7, 2025. According to Kaspa developer Coderofstuff, the successful transition confirms the logical correctness of the update through comprehensive validation of various aspects such as Initial Block Download, post-pruning behavior, and transaction ordering.
Kaspa's Future Innovations Plan
Now that the upgrade to 10 BPS has been achieved, Kaspa is moving forward with other innovative developments outlined in the roadmap. This includes a feature freeze expected to be completed by March 20. The update is currently 95% complete, with full mainnet activation aimed for late April or early May 2025. A key component is the GHOSTDAG protocol, significantly speeding up the block creation and confirmation process.
Kaspa's new update sets a clear agenda for the next leap forward, promising substantial performance enhancements and growth potential for the global decentralized blockchain infrastructure.
