Kaspa is making significant strides in blockchain development. The recent Crescendo Hardfork update has changed the game for this network.
Background on the Crescendo Upgrade
Kaspa conducted a significant upgrade known as the Crescendo Hardfork, which increases the network speed to 10 blocks per second, making it one of the fastest in the Proof-of-Work blockchain space.
Transition to Testnet 10
Recently, Testnet 10 fully transitioned to a speed of 10 BPS. This transition, completed on March 7, 2025, involves a thorough validation of Initial Block Download (IBD), Post-Pruning Behavior, and Transaction Ordering.
Next Steps for Kaspa
Kaspa will now focus on completing the feature freeze by March 20. Full mainnet activation is expected by late April/early May 2025. Future innovations include finalizing the primary version of the Hardfork by the end of March.
With the transition to 10 BPS, Kaspa solidifies its position as one of the fastest PoW networks, readying for new innovations.
