Kaspa cryptocurrency technical developments

Overview

Kaspa has implemented technical updates to its network infrastructure, including the release of Rusty Kaspa v2.1.0 nodes. This update was designed to improve network efficiency and stability by optimizing data synchronization through smaller data chunks to prevent bottlenecks and timeouts, while also providing fixes for the Stratum bridge.

The cryptocurrency utilizes a BlockDAG structure rather than a traditional linear blockchain, allowing for simultaneous block creation and transaction speeds of approximately ten blocks per second. As of late October 2026, Kaspa held a market capitalization of approximately $1 billion.

A scheduled reduction in the block reward is set for November 4, 2026, which will decrease the reward from 2.060 to 1.945 KAS, reducing the daily issuance of newly created coins.
