Kaspa Stress Test Hits 2K TPS – Community Divided

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

First up: TPS madness. Community devs and tinkerers have been stress-testing the network again, with one report clocking roughly 122 thousand transactions in a minute – call it just over 2 thousand TPS – and chatter that raw throughput might spike higher while “effective” TPS is lower because one transaction can land in multiple blocks. Some public endpoints even groaned under load and a stats site briefly blinked, which folks took as a good sign for network resilience rather than fragility. There’s talk of a coordinated push on the 28th, and at least one tester claimed a local setup using around 12 thousand UTXOs to drive volume.

Second: ideology wars. A long, fiery back-and-forth with Bitcoiners centered on Lightning’s trade-offs versus Kaspa’s L1-first approach, with some claiming Lightning scale would take “decades” at a couple transactions per second, and others pushing back. The debate bled into Kaspa’s own trade-offs, especially “trust in pruning proofs,” with node-runners urging more people to verify rather than trust. Bottom line: a lot of self-reflection about decentralization, payments, and who actually runs nodes.

Third: Kasia updates. Builders invited Android users to join a closed beta via a direct email, noting this remake supports testnet so you don’t have to risk main assets. Roadmap chatter: starting with Web and Android, iOS next, with desktop builds possible from an active “v0.5” branch. Sentiment ranged from jokes to genuine excitement that Kasia could become a go-to channel for the community.

Fourth: listings rumor mill… dunked. A “Binance tomorrow” post made the rounds, then immediately got memed into a “September 17th, 2035” pseudo-announcement. The vibe: chill until there’s an actual official statement; otherwise it’s just noise.

Fifth: sentiment check. Plenty of gallows humor – “Kaspa the stablecoin,” worries about falling out of the top fifty, and gripes about missing broader alt pumps – but also stubborn optimism: “the bull run hasn’t started for me yet,” “we need more users and more nodes,” and reminders that inflation is still around five percent, i.e., issuance continues. The mood swings were real… but the builders kept building.

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