Kaspa Announces Major Network Upgrade: 10x Speed & Smart Contracts

Kaspa is set for a major network upgrade, aiming to accelerate transaction speeds by tenfold. The Crescendo Hardfork, currently undergoing extensive testing, is anticipated to go live in late April or early May of 2025. 10 blocks per second (BPS) will be the new benchmark, significantly boosting throughput from current 1 BPS. This upgrade opens doors for faster transaction confirmations and improved performance. The community’s active involvement during Testnet validation ensures the network is ready to handle increased volume before launching on Mainnet.
