📢Reminder to all Kaspa node operators - exchanges, solo miners and and mining pools. The Crescendo Hardfork v1.0.0 is a MANDATORY UPDATE. Failure to upgrade will result in a disconnection from the network. Miners who do not upgrade will produce invalid blocks and no rewards. Upgrade now to ensure you're ready for the mainnet launch on May 5th at ~15:00 UTC and to take full advantage of the new features Crescendo offers.

💡Understanding Kaspa: What happens when all $KAS is mined? @DesheShai breaks it down in this video. TL;DR: 1️⃣ Fees don’t need congestion 2️⃣ Security doesn’t rely on fees alone 3️⃣ As emissions taper off, miners shift from earning block rewards to earning transaction fees "Just like we solved the trilemma, like we solved the state bloat problem, and like we are about to solve MEV — we will solve the security budget." ~ Shai See link to video (WDMS 2024) and further reading, (The Three Woes of Bitcoin’s Fee Market and How BlockDAGs Can Fix Them) in thread. ______________________ Longer summary: Shia's take on Kaspa's security budget is twofold. One, it is not true that fees require congestion. In fact, Kaspa's parallelism gives us great control of the threshold over which fees become meaningful. This is an important point where $kas provides flexibility where people think there is none: we can control the fee market activation threshold. For example, in post-Crescendo TN10 we see that the merge-sets are about 4-5 blocks, meaning that 25% of utilization is more than enough to furnish an active and competitive fee market. We can arbitrarily reduce the required utilization by increasing block rates (while controlling the total throughput by changing block sizes appropriately). Two, it is not true that the only source of security budget is fees. One instance: suppose big players use the chain to build their platforms, and their security relies on the security of the L1. In that case, it becomes their incentive to secure the network actively and not just delegate this important task to the fee market. Another instance: high BPS incentivizes service providers to create their own blocks rather than relying on miners. This means that they contribute to the security to improve their service, not for earning fees. That's another example of how the fee market is not the only source of security budget. This point would become highly relevant once countering MEV through transaction bidding is online.

From the start, the $KSPR Bot has been the leading solution for asset storage within the #KRC ecosystem. Knowing that many in the community weren’t comfortable using a Telegram bot as their primary wallet, we worked relentlessly to provide a better solution. After months of development and weeks of intensive internal testing, we’re proud to introduce the KSPR Wallet Chrome extension! This fully secure wallet lets you store and manage your #KRC20 & #KRC721 tokens, along with your $KAS. The Swap Feature will be activated once smart contracts go live on $KAS with the first Layer 2s. Our goal is for this wallet to lead not just in the KRC ecosystem but across the entire Kaspa ecosystem once L2s launch. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to get familiar with it now for a smoother transition when smart contracts go live.
