Kaspa’s Crescendo Hardfork: Boosting Network Speed and Capacity

Kaspa is poised for significant network growth with its upcoming Crescendo Hardfork. This upgrade, set to activate on May 5, 2025, will increase transaction speeds and expand the blockchain’s capacity. The key change lies in boosting block production from one per second (BPS) to ten BPS, a move driven by the release of Node Version v1.0.0 on March 31, 2025. This hardfork is a major development for the Kaspa blockchain, offering increased efficiency and scalability while maintaining its PoW security.
