Bitcoin had Miami.
Ethereum had DEVCON.
Now it’s Kaspa’s turn.
Introducing the Kaspa Conference: a 4-day experience bringing together builders, investors, and the $KAS community.
And we’re investing up to $1,000,000 in Kaspa startups.
Here’s what we’re building. 🧵
Here’s a challenge for the $KAS community:
Introduce ONE person to Kaspa this week.
Not by telling them to buy it.
Instead, explain what it is, how it works, and why decentralized peer-to-peer money matters.
Education creates awareness.
Awareness creates adoption.
That’s how we grow. 🤖
Riot sold 79% of its bitcoin to fund a $28B, 15 year AI lease on 910MW. The scarce asset is the permitted grid hookup.
Kaspa's block reward stepped to 1.94 KAS and 24h hashrate held at 357.4 PH/s.
Founders building miner revenue past the subsidy, apply to the accelerator.
910 MW. 15 years. One campus. Today we announced the largest lease in Riot's history, with a leading frontier AI lab at Corsicana: approx. $28 billion in total contract revenue over the 15-year initial term.

New to Kaspa? Here’s what makes $KAS interesting:
• Fair launched with no premine or ICO
• Secured by Proof-of-Work
• Uses a blockDAG instead of a traditional blockchain
• Produces 10 blocks per second
• Designed for scalability without sacrificing decentralization
Worth learning about. 👀
YC founders with $20M+ behind them asked us why Kaspa.
The replies under that post are doing the selling for us.
Keep going. Tag a builder who should answer next.

Just spoke with 2 YC backed founders yesterday about $KAS.
Previously raised over $20M.
They asked why Kaspa? Who wants to tell them?
Imagine buying a $5 coffee with cryptocurrency.
Would you want to wait 10 minutes for a block confirmation?
Probably not.
This is why transaction speed matters.
Kaspa currently produces 10 blocks every second, making it possible to build payment experiences around a fast, decentralized Proof-of-Work network.
$KAS ☕
For years, crypto has struggled with three things:
🔒 Security
🌐 Decentralization
⚡ Scalability
Improving one often means sacrificing another.
Kaspa approaches this problem differently.
Instead of a traditional blockchain, $KAS uses a blockDAG architecture that allows blocks to be created in parallel.
A different approach to scaling Proof-of-Work.
2 important charts for $KAS builders.
$KAS is up against venture backed founders.
We exist to help bridge the gap.

Most $KAS founders we’ve spoken with are based in Europe where capital is scarce.
Capital = network effects = talent density.
KaspaBots is here to bridge the gap.

Kaspa doesn’t need more hype.
It needs more education, awareness, and real-world adoption.
That’s why KaspaBots exists. 🤖
Our mission is simple:
Educate people about kaspa:native.
Introduce Kaspa to new audiences.
Help connect builders, businesses, and communities.
The technology is here. Now it’s time to spread the word.
Imagine walking into your favorite coffee shop, scanning a QR code, and paying with kaspa:native.
No bank required.
No credit card network.
No waiting 10 minutes for a block.
Just a direct, peer-to-peer transaction on a decentralized network.
This is the kind of real-world adoption we want to see.
Who would you like to see accept Kaspa?
What’s the biggest obstacle preventing cryptocurrency from becoming an everyday payment method?
A) Transaction speed
B) Merchant adoption
C) User experience
D) Public awareness
We believe kaspa:native has the technology to help address some (or all) of these challenges.
Tell us what you think. 👇
Most people don’t realize how significant 10 blocks per second actually is.
Bitcoin produces approximately 1 block every 10 minutes.
Kaspa produces approximately 10 blocks every SECOND.
That’s roughly 6,000x the block production rate.
And it does this while remaining decentralized and secured by Proof-of-Work.
Let that sink in. kaspa:native
Bitcoin proved that people want decentralized, peer-to-peer money.
Kaspa is exploring what comes next.
⚡ 10 blocks per second
🔒 Proof-of-Work security
🌐 No central authority
💎 Fair launch. No premine. No ICO.
$KAS is building on the principles that made Bitcoin revolutionary, with an architecture designed for speed and scalability.

AI referred shoppers convert +60% (a16z).
This is the first measurable payoff line. It turns the 2000 bubble comparison into the 1990s with better unit economics.
If you're a $KAS founders working on agentic commerce, send us a DM.
Hard for me to look at these charts from the FT, especially the first one, and not see some evidence of “ROI on AI.”
Seems like a productivity surge post-Covid era overhiring that began to reverse before ChatGPT came out and then resumed its upward trend after ChatGPT.
Especially given the @a16z data on revenue per employee at their portfolio companies and the @EPBResearch data showing that the 3 industries that have most heavily adopted AI have gone from 2.2% productivity growth to 5% productivity growth.
And makes sense that it is showing up in the US first - America is 72% of Anthropic revenue vs. 50%ish at most application software companies.
Great stuff from @jburnmurdoch even if I disagree with his conclusion.
What if Bitcoin was invented today?
Would it still produce a block every 10 minutes?
Or would it leverage modern technology to process blocks every 0.1 seconds, without sacrificing decentralization or Proof-of-Work security?
That’s the question $KAS is answering.
Welcome to Kaspa. 💚
We love to see it.
@anndylian we’d love to connect and explore how we can get you more involved with the Kaspa ecosystem!
We're investing up to $1,000,000 in Kaspa startups.
There’s a lot happening within the community, and we’d be happy to chat about opportunities to collaborate. 🤝
