Kaspa is joining the global payment standard for the internet.
x402 founded by Coinbase and Cloudflare,
now a Linux Foundation project is becoming the default way AI agents pay for APIs and data.
This week, a kaspa:native binding is ready for upstream submission.
Here's why it matters. 馃У

Kaspa network snapshot.
11.0 TPS, 10.2 BPS, 360.4 PH/s network hashrate across 680 active miners and 347 public nodes.
27.77B KAS circulating, 96.73% of max supply already mined. Next block reward reduction (2.06 to 1.94 KAS) lands in roughly 15 days.

Das Script im Screenshot, OP_BLAKE2B, 32-Byte-Push, OP_EQUAL, ist das kanonische Kaspa P2SH Commitment Muster, der Pubkey taucht erst beim Spend auf, wenn das Redeem Script offengelegt wird. Genau das ist der Mechanismus, den KIP-22 vor wenigen Tagen f眉r quantenresistente Adressen vorgeschlagen hat, KaChat scheint ihn also bereits auszurollen, noch bevor KIP-22 Final erreicht.

Stronger quantum resistant addresses coming to KaChat very soon!
All you need to do is simply generate a new spend address. All new spend addresses have the upgrade. Send Kaspa to it and don't send anything out and that address will remain protected.
Upgraded addresses start with kaspa:p... while the legacy addresses that always expose the public key start with kaspa:q...
5/9
Bitcoin never extended its UTXO model this far. Script stayed deliberately limited. Kaspa's covenant system sits closer to Bitcoin's original design philosophy than to Ethereum's, with the programmability Bitcoin never added.
8/9
What to watch next quarter is not price action. It is whether based applications actually choose Kaspa's sequencing model, and whether covenant tooling matures enough for teams outside the core contributor group to ship on it.
1/9
Most coverage of Kaspa's Toccata upgrade calls it "smart contracts for Kaspa." That framing is wrong, and the actual architecture decision is more interesting than the headline.

A covenant restricts how a UTXO can be spent in the future. The condition is encoded directly into the output, enforced by protocol consensus. No global state, no account balances tracked network wide the way Ethereum does it.
2/9
Activated June 30, 2026 on mainnet. Toccata introduced programmable UTXOs through covenants, on chain zero knowledge proof verification, and sequencing support for applications that settle on Kaspa L1 while executing off the base layer.

Six things kaspaunchained flagged from this week's dev activity. All six check out against the linked PRs here's what's actually in them. 馃У

Pattern across all six, none of this trends. A storage
preset, a pagination fix, an embedded systems compile target, a metadata draft, a privacy experiment that's explicitly not private yet, and an open PR for a token example.
That's what a protocol actually shipping looks like week
to week not announcements, commits.
