Kaspa is making significant strides in blockchain technology, successfully transitioning to Testnet 10 (TN10) with an increase in block processing speed to 10 per second.
Crescendo Hardfork and its impact
The Proof-of-Work L1 protocol, Kaspa, has successfully implemented the major Crescendo Hardfork update, increasing the network speed from 1 to 10 blocks per second. This deployment will create a more efficient and faster blockchain network.
Significance of Testnet 10 transition
After transitioning to TN10 on March 7, 2025, the network reached 10 blocks per second, confirming the correctness of the update logic. This confirmation was based on extensive validation of Initial Block Download, Post-Pruning Behavior, and Transaction Ordering.
Kaspa's future plans
Now, Kaspa plans to finalize the primary Hardfork version by the end of March, focusing on other innovations outlined in the roadmap. The GHOSTDAG innovation will further speed up block creation and confirmation, enhancing the decentralized global blockchain infrastructure.
The TN10 update showcases Kaspa's significant potential to become one of the fastest PoW blockchain networks, capable of handling high loads and supporting future innovations.
