Kaspa continues to enhance its blockchain position, offering innovative solutions for network speed and scalability.
Recent Milestones: Crescendo Testnet and Beyond
Kaspa’s recent achievements include the transition to Crescendo Testnet 10, increasing block speed from 1 to 10 BPS. The Kaspa team has completed key phases such as network launch, stabilization, user experience enhancement, and TN 10 activation. Mainnet transition to 10 BPS is expected by late April 2025, with smart contract functionality to follow in summer. These enhancements confirm Kaspa’s commitment to innovation and its unique PoW network implementation.
Why Kaspa Stands Out
Kaspa stands out with its use of the GHOSTDAG protocol and planned DAGKNIGHT upgrade, enabling parallel block processing and instant transaction confirmations. Its BlockDAG architecture allows the simultaneous acceptance of all valid blocks, resulting in ultra-fast transaction processing. Kaspa also offers 10 BPS aiming for 100 BPS without sacrificing security or decentralization. Its economic model continues to evolve with 90% of the total supply already mined, ensuring network sustainability through transaction fees rather than block rewards.
Kaspa vs. the Competition
Kaspa outpaces Ethereum with faster transaction processing and without gas fee complexities. Compared to Solana, Kaspa matches speed while maintaining the security of the PoW model. Its BlockDAG architecture uniquely benefits from innovative parallel processing and high throughput. New contenders like Sui and Aptos offer high-performance approaches, but Kaspa's foundation on proven PoW security and high-speed processing sets it apart.
Kaspa successfully merges Bitcoin's network security with cutting-edge speed and scalability. Its 2025 achievements indicate significant progress in the blockchain industry and readiness to compete as a robust Layer 1 solution. Upcoming launches, like smart contracts, make Kaspa appealing to developers and market participants.
