Kaspa Breaks TPS Record as L2 Launch Hype Builds

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

First up: throughput bragging rights. Multiple folks celebrated a new max TPS record “according to kaspalytics,” with some predicting we’ll keep breaking records through September… and others pushing back that this is “as optimized as it gets.” There’s even chatter about a record-breaking attempt on the 28th, but expectations are tempered — maybe the number nudges up on the day, not every day. Let’s see if the network flex continues or if this was the ceiling…

Second: all eyes on Kasplex L2 — and the patience meter is running hot. We saw everything from “ less than twenty-four hours” to “next week: one last rehearsal” to outright jokes about another delay. The vibe: launch fatigue. Builders debated usefulness without projects at day one, while others said they’ll mine to local nodes and pray for “thicc blocks with thousands in fees.” Some plan to try it, some plan to short the L2 token, and a few expect lending and liquid staking teams to show up. Related: claims that Igra uses the Kasplex system, plus a note that Kaskad plans to launch there. If the switch actually flips, we’ll finally learn if fees and TVL show up — or not.

Third: miners and network health are a worry. People swapped war stories about shutting rigs off, running losses unless “stealing electricity,” and moving to personal/public nodes — one said spinning up a dedicated mini-PC node was “super easy.” Anxiety centered on who secures the network if mining dries up, and whether fees (still theoretical to some) arrive in time. There was also debate about Marathon: one voice said they’d already given up; another cited “thirty million Kas” supposedly held at last report. Bottom line: sustainability is front-of-mind.

Fourth: price and sentiment. The community keeps tilting at that $0.09 wall — “attempt 5,000 to hit nine cents” — while morale yo-yos between “it’s over” and “hero or zero.” Mentions of rank ~51 and being ~60% off ATH fueled the angst. Claims of sell walls on MEXC and whales accumulating added salt. Yet there’s still gallows humor, DCA bravado, and a few “send it” battle cries.

Fifth: governance & trust squabbles. Accusations flew about KEF “capturing” Kaspa, funding ties across teams, and debates around former faces in the ecosystem. Not pretty, but it’s today’s reality: people want clarity on who’s steering what.

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