Ecosystem Development

Developers looking to build on Kaspa now have two promising Layer-2 ecosystems to explore: Kasplex and Igra Labs. Both are working to make application development as accessible as possible, but each offers distinct advantages depending on your timeline and goals. Kasplex: Live and Ready for Development Kasplex is currently the most accessible platform for developers building on Kaspa. […]

Igra Labs has revealed that its much‑anticipated programmability L2 testnet, Caravel, is scheduled to go live in mid‑July, marking a significant milestone in the development of the Igra ecosystem. Announced officially via its X account earlier today, Igra Labs described Caravel as a “new programmable system that prioritizes decentralization and security”. This deployment represents a crucial step

The Crescendo update (outlined in KIP-0014) is a planned hard fork of the Kaspa network that introduces two big changes to Kaspa’s protocol in human-friendly terms. First, it dramatically increases the block generation rate of the network from 1 block per second to 10 blocks per second. This is like stepping on the gas pedal for Kaspa: blocks (which carry transactions)

As Kaspa approaches the Crescendo hard fork scheduled for May 5, 2025, the network’s development history over the past several months reveals a clear and important trend: a significant increase in developer interest and technical contribution. By looking closely at different periods, we can better understand how Kaspa developer community has evolved and matured. Developer

Ethereum, the leading smart contract platform, is facing increasing pressure in 2025. General sentiment around Ethereum has dropped significantly recently. The network is struggling with falling user engagement, a declining token price, and concerns about the growing complexity of its roadmap. At the same time, Kaspa is steadily strengthening its position, offering a unique opportunity
