In 2025, Kaspa emerged as a serious Layer 1 contender with revolutionary technology advancements and increased transaction speed.
Recent Milestones: Crescendo Testnet and Beyond
Kaspa's rollout of Crescendo Testnet 10 achieved a block speed of 10 blocks per second (BPS). The transition to higher speeds marked a critical step in scalability and security improvements. On March 10, Kaspa announced the successful transition to 10 BPS in the X social network. The future roadmap includes Feature Freeze, Main Hardfork Version, and Mainnet activation by late April or early May.
Why Kaspa Stands Out
Kaspa stands out with technical solutions that solve real blockchain problems. The GHOSTDAG protocol enables parallel block processing, and the upcoming DAGKNIGHT upgrade will enhance adaptability and efficiency. Kaspa already demonstrates PoS-like performance while remaining as a PoW network.
Kaspa vs. the Competition
Against technologies like Ethereum and Solana, Kaspa offers faster transactions and security. Unlike emerging Layer 1 innovations like Sui and Aptos, the BlockDAG architecture provides unique advantages in parallel processing and security while remaining accessible for miners.
Kaspa successfully combines Bitcoin’s security with revolutionary speed and improved scalability. A bright technological future unfolds with the successful implementation of innovations and plans for further development.
