Kaspa is taking significant steps in its blockchain development by updating the Crescendo Hardfork to increase network speed to 10 blocks per second.
Transition to 10 BPS: Importance and Execution
A vital milestone for Kaspa's blockchain was achieved after transitioning Testnet 10 to 10 blocks per second. This shift is critically important for the network, especially following the Hardfork activation in March 2025.
Details of Testnet 10 Update
According to Kaspa developer Coderofstuff, the successful transition on Testnet 10 confirmed the correctness of the update logic, involving Initial Block Download (IBD) validation, Post-Pruning Behavior, and Transaction Ordering (via KIP15).
Future Plans of Kaspa Post Crescendo Hardfork
After achieving the 10 BPS speed, Kaspa will focus on other innovations from the roadmap, which includes a feature freeze by the end of March. The mainnet activation is targeted for late April - early May 2025.
The transition to 10 blocks per second makes Kaspa one of the fastest PoW blockchain technologies, paving the way for more significant developments in the future.
