According to updates by Kaspa developer Coderofstuff, transitioning on Testnet 10 included comprehensive validation of Initial Block Download, Post-Pruning Behavior, and Transaction Ordering. This confirmed the correctness of the upgrade logic.
Future Innovations and Plans
Now that the 10 blocks per second mark has been reached, Kaspa will focus efforts on other innovations planned in its roadmap. The roadmap expects a feature freeze completion by March 20, with the main Hardfork activation aimed at late April or early May 2025.
The Testnet 10 upgrade and acceleration to 10 blocks per second is a notable achievement for Kaspa, underscoring its role in creating one of the fastest PoW blockchains.
