#Kaspa may have bottomed Maybe it hasn't and there is still one opportunity to capitalize on via volatility Doesn't change the level of conviction I have in the technology LFG😤 $KAS https://t.co/n2hLBBXMnz

Kaspa, together with Toccata, has entered a new phase. Now it's no longer just about making programmability possible. Now it's about how the ecosystem builds common standards before everyone implements their own solution. Native Assets is a perfect example. Wallets, Explorer, Indexer, Core Devs and Builder must speak the same language. Otherwise, it leads to chaos, not innovation. Therefore, the next big step for Kaspa is not just code. It is coordination.

$KAS hard fork is live! big moment for Kaspa these are the upgrades people usually ignore until they realize this is how real networks level up through devs shipping, miners upgrading, and the chain moving forward without asking for attention every 5 minutes massive respect to the Kaspa devs and everyone who helped push this through long live $KAS

Its a damn shame, seeing the $kas ecosystem crumbling like this. But on the positive side: at least Igra had the dignity to inform him in a TG message, and not via a public X post, which already makes them less terrible than both KEF and core leads. That being said, this does not bode well for Kaspa. ZK Opcodes are only as useful as the incentives for prover network to provide proofs to verify. Without aggregation, having to provide your own proofs becomes a huge entry barrier for aspiring programmability projects (i.e. any capabilities beyond the expresiveness of silverscript). But it seems that the only team who proposed a decentralized aggregation solution is about to go under. (I haven't been in touch with anyone from Igra for months now, so I don't know the details of the termination. But axing a top tier engineer before release with no notice or severance doesnt exactly scream "budget"). I guess the ZK of codes will now become another route for KEF/Kasplex/Kurve to keep scamming the community out of money. Given that these scammers seem to be the only ones in the (rotting corpse of) the Kaspa ecosystem with resources to do anything with it. Of course, this isn't just about KEF and their antics, but also about the phenomenal leadership of Sompolinsky and Sutton, who personally made the ecosystem caustic for everyone trying to give KEF a run for their money. And you know what, maybe it's time to put some truths out there myself. Something I begrudingly tried keep to myself, and mostly succeeded up to some cryptic bitter remarks. But now that Igra seems to start falling apart at the seams, it feels wrong to keep this to myself any longer. About 8 months ago, I was offered a position of chief scientist for Igra, which I accepted. Before it came to fruition though, there was an Igra board meeting that was split half in half for and against. Hearing of this deadlock, I stepped away and reduced contact to a minimum. The insulting part: the two board members who voted against me were exactly the two people who offered me the position in the first place less than two weeks beforehand! When I pressed the point to understand wth, it was heavily implied that Sompolinsky made explicit threats that if Igra cooperates with me, he will deliberately harm Igra with his public statements. This fit in well with seeing the hostility of S&S towards Igra rise in perfect correlation with my public support thereof (and the general vindictiveness in Sompolinsky's other actions). Despite the huge emotional toll S&S's active sabotage attempts towards me during the last year and a half at the expense of the ecosystem, I decided not to be forthcoming with this conduct, as I didn't want the personal beef to detract more from the general discussion about Kaspa. But given the last development, I don't think denying this information makes sense any longer. To conclude, I just want to remind you all that Kaspa would have never existed if it weren't for Mike Zak. So show your respects.

#Kaspa aims to implement a vision which, one upon a time, was #Bitcoin's vision. I feel like $kas hit the bullseye this week. #tocatta https://t.co/xGKkE2RZ3v
