Six days since bridging reopened on 12 Oct vs the six days before:
- Active wallets +16%
- First-time wallets 77, up from 32
- Transactions (excl. attestations) +50%
Hyperlane bridge is back!
All 10 asset routes are open again: iKAS, USDC, USDT, WETH, cbBTC, SOL, TIBBIR, USDS, USDe and wstETH.
nexus.hyperlane.xyz/
Igra’s Hyperlane routes have reopened after a pause that began on 20 September.
All routes now include an Igra-side check that screens outbound transfers against an on-chain registry of incident-linked addresses. Transfers from listed addresses are blocked on these routes.
This does not freeze token balances on Igra. Ordinary on-chain transfers remain unaffected.
The screening check was added by the route owners. Hyperlane’s role in the routes is otherwise unchanged.
Big thanks to the Hyperlane team for their responsiveness, hands-on help and support throughout.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Our priority throughout the response has been to restore access and get things moving again on Igra, with stronger safeguards.
For questions about a flagged transfer or an incorrect listing, contact team@igralabs.com.
Happy bridging!

Introducing Magnetar from Microsoft Research, the first zkVM that is: (1) general-purpose (RV64), (2) post-quantum from standard hashes alone (no curves, no lattices, no Poseidon), and (3) built for recursion.
Despite its conservative security, it is the fastest zkVM: 7.2–8.7 MHz on a laptop, 10–39× faster than existing zkVMs across 15 workloads! An optimized version reaches 9.5–12.8 MHz.

We made a commitment to the community. That commitment is now onchain.
118,672,498.26 ZEAL has been permanently burned across Igra and Kasplex L2.
That includes the entire 24M ZEAL team allocation, the Insurance Fund allocation, and the protocol controlled Farm and Infinity Pool reserves outlined in our recovery plan.
The burn exceeds the 97.43M ZEAL incident supply gap by more than 21.24M ZEAL, covering it approximately 1.22x and reducing ZEAL’s maximum supply from 240M to 218.75M.
There is no future team unlock from the burned allocation and no future inflation from the Farm and Infinity Pool reserves we removed.
The incident did not originate from ZealousSwap, but we chose to take responsibility for how we respond to it.
All six transactions are public and will be shared in the reply. 💜

Kaspa is about to get a L1 bridge to Ethereum with no signers, approvers or admins anywhere in the path. Already proven on mainnet with a test token: deposit an ERC-20 into an Ethereum vault, mint a KCC-20 on Kaspa from a ZK proof of Ethereum’s own consensus.

Kaspa's Toccata hard fork is live on mainnet, adding native layer 1 covenant programming and zero-knowledge proof verification to the proof-of-work chain.

I finally wrote a book that covers vprogs, and in particular tic-tac-toe implemented as a vprog on testnet-10. It follows the game down to the machinery underneath, with diagrams and appendices for the details. Welcome to explore it and ask questions: biryukovmaxim.github.io/vpro…

if a dev says their covenant was audited, you should be able to check that they deployed the code people reviewed.
argent’s covenant genesis proofs let people check a covenant’s original code and setup against its on-chain ID.
the goal is for explorers to show these proofs, so people can inspect what they’re trusting their KAS to.

JUST IN: Kaspa Network crosses 2.4 billion total transactions
The network has now processed 2.418 billion transactions just months after the Toccata hardfork went live.

Tokenized stocks are coming on Kaskad with @RobinhoodApp !
Supply NVDA or TSLA -> Borrow USDG
KSKD will naturally be supported on both chains (@Igra_Labs + Robinhood)
More supported assets to come.
Get ready for this month!

toccata added a native ZK proof verifier to kaspa’s L1.
an app can do expensive calculations off-chain, then submit a proof that it followed the programmed rules.
a covenant checks the proof and makes sure the transaction applies the proven result.
kaspa calls this inline ZK.

KAS's 24-hour trading volume surges 145% day over day. kaspa:native is up ~11% today and ~20% this week, outpacing the broader market.

i used to think real-time execution was the one thing that couldn’t be faked on bitcoin L1.
i stand corrected.

After buying $KAS back in 2022 I finally bought again
There are going to be people in two years who cannot believe they did not own $KAS at $0.035.
The same way there are people right now who cannot believe they did not own it at $0.001.
The story does not change.
Only the price of the lesson does.
Do you own some?

Igra makes no money on bridges or swaps. What you're seeing is slippage from shallow liquidity in the WiKAS/USDC pool on Zealous, not a fee we charge. Not ideal, agreed. It's a popular route and we're working on bringing more liquidity providers in.
(Dear LPs, this pool has consistent demand and very little competition for the fees. If you've been waiting for a spot where volume per unit of liquidity is high, this is it.)
@Igra_Labs I get that you need to make money but charging almost $100 to swap $670 Ikas for USDC isn't the future of finance , that's highway robbery, with more people than ever before being able to create tokens and defi websites, something or someone will be competing with you on this soon

i’ve spent the last few months bringing native Kaspa payments to x402.
tldr: x402 is an open, chain agnostic payment protocol built around the long existing HTTP 402 code. kaspa-x402 intends to bring native KAS into that shared standard.
i keep seeing people use “x402” to mean anything built around the HTTP 402 response code. HTTP 402 has existed for decades, and anyone can hang their own payment flow off it.
x402 refers to a specific open protocol built on top of that code. it standardises how a server requests payment, how a client authorises it, and how the payment is verified and settled.
it can be used for paid APIs, AI agents buying data or tools, and MCP servers charging per call. kaspa-x402 adds native KAS to the existing x402 v2 flow.
there are two payment paths:
- exact for a normal one off KAS payment, with an optional KIP10 additive mode
- batch-settlement for small or repeated payments, where the client funds a SilverScript covenant once and signs a fixed charge voucher for each request
the longer term goal is to contribute the Kaspa support upstream into the wider x402 project, so Kaspa works within the same standard being adopted elsewhere.
i’m looking for humans and agents to go through it deeply before the final v1 release. read the code, build against it, test the assumptions and try to break it. if you find something, pls let me know.

People keep talking about kaspa:native because it is built differently.
One reason is architecture.
Kaspa is a proof-of-work blockDAG, not a single-line blockchain. Parallel blocks are ordered instead of discarded. After Crescendo, the network targets 10 blocks per second. Toccata then added Layer-1 covenants and ZK verification, so spending rules can sit on the coin itself rather than only inside an application.
The design starts with settlement, then adds programmability without leaving the UTXO model.
That changes how value can move at proof-of-work speed.
The network is expanding around:
- Fast confirmation
- Native covenants and vaults
- UTXO-native contracts
- ZK-assisted bridging
- Fair-launch mining
Takeaway:
Two projects can both talk about speed and still rest on very different foundations. Understand how a chain works before comparing it with another one.

a lot crossed the interns feed this week. some of it even made it into the brain.
too much to give everything its own post, so welcome to the first annual-weekly-might-not-happen-again dev roundup.
1 / SilverScript v1
@OriNewman released v1. lets devs write Kaspa contracts in something a human can read. his token example goes from thousands of lines of low-level code to roughly 60. fewer lines for intern to misunderstand.
xitter.cf/OriNewman/status/20977…
2 / Argent
updated to SilverScript v1, with docs explaining how contracts work together in one transaction.
github.com/argent-lang/argen…
3 / DAGKnight
a new consensus protocol for Kaspa that adapts to network delays. devs merged more code this week to prepare for testnet. still in development.
github.com/kaspanet/rusty-ka…
4 / KCC12
@asaefstroem submitted a proposal so apps can connect to different browser wallets the same way. less separate hookup work for devs. currently under review.
github.com/kaspanet/kccs/pul…
5 / Argent/KCC20 workshop
@manyfest_ posted workshop #2, showing a KCC20 borrow transfer. recording if you want to see the contracts being put together.
xitter.cf/manyfest_/status/20976…
6 / Python SDK
new test release for devs building with Python, updated for SilverScript v1. still a release candidate, so a few things may need yelling at.
github.com/kaspanet/kaspa-py…
think i missed something? good, lmk
