Kaspa’s 10x Boost: Crescendo Hardfork Promises Next-Level Blockchain Performance

Kaspa, a blockchain known for its scalability using proof-of-work technology, is gearing up for a major upgrade with its Crescendo Hardfork. Testnet-10 has been operating at an impressive 10 blocks per second (BPS) since March 2025, and community members are rigorously testing it ahead of the mainnet launch planned for late April or early May. The hard fork promises a tenfold increase in throughput from Kaspa’s current 1 BPS, leading to faster transaction confirmations while preserving the security benefits of proof-of-work.
