Kaspa is making significant strides in blockchain development, successfully transitioning to a new 10 blocks per second (BPS) speed with the Crescendo Hardfork.
Key Changes in Crescendo Hardfork
The Crescendo Hardfork significantly increases the block processing speed on the Kaspa network. The blockchain will now generate 10 blocks per second instead of the previous one block per second, greatly enhancing efficiency.
Successful Testing on TN10
The transition of Testnet 10 to the new speed has been successfully completed. As noted by Kaspa developer Coderofstuff, testing included validation of Initial Block Download (IBD), post-pruning behavior, and transaction ordering, confirming the correctness of the upgrade.
Future Steps and Innovations of Kaspa
Now that the shift to 10 BPS is complete, Kaspa will focus on other innovations. According to the roadmap, all major changes are expected to be completed by the end of March, with full mainnet activation aimed for late April or early May 2025.
The upgrade to 10 BPS makes Kaspa one of the fastest PoW blockchains. This is a crucial step in developing and strengthening its global decentralized infrastructure.
