Kaspa Berlin Talk, WhiteBIT Listing & Kasia Tests

Hey, welcome to Kaspa Daily Pulse – here’s what the Kaspa community’s been buzzing about today.

First up, the Berlin vibes. Kaspador hit the stage and there was chatter about stablecoins – yes, he literally said “stable cions” – but no firm launch date was shared. That mix of hype and hurry-up-and-wait had people joking about an “announcement a day before launch,” even tossing out a cheeky “September 31st.” We also heard that a big chunk of devs are based in China, which sparked curiosity and a few side-eyes. Net-net: excitement tempered by uncertainty.

Under the hood, some technical threads got traction: folks framed the smart-contracts path as an “optimistic rollup with L1 ordering,” debated node footprints – think roughly 32–64 GB RAM and ~1 TB disk for a light node – and claimed an L2 full node might be “about ten percent more” than an Ethereum full node. That’s meaty, if it holds.

Second: exchange news. WhiteBIT listed KAS/USDT. Reaction? Mixed. Some called it a “nothing burger,” others argued it’s “huge,” while a separate thread griped about seeing “no volume” on CMC. Translation: awareness win, but the community’s waiting to feel it in the numbers.

Third: Kasia, the messenger, kept popping up. It’s in testing on Google Play, and iPhone users were told to add it as a PWA from Safari for now. A few testers reported node connection hiccups, and there was a helpful explainer on costs: a handshake runs about zero point two KAS to initiate, and zero point two to respond. Despite teething issues, several voices said it’s usable and recommended giving it a spin.

Fourth: trust and validators. A heated mini-cycle flared around Zelcore – some alleging compromises and losses, others waving it off as “user error” or a non-issue – alongside claims that Zelcore is one validator among a handful (with Kasplex likely in the mix). It’s the ongoing push-pull between convenience, decentralization, and who’s actually running what.

Finally, the mood. Price chat revolved around that nine-cent wall – “rejected” was a common refrain – and how tightly KAS seemed to track Bitcoin. Still, some pointed out we survived a “largest liquidation event” without breaking seven cents, which the die-hards took as resilience. Hope and hopium are back on tap… just, you know, with caution.

That’s it for today’s pulse. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. Catch you then.
