Kaspa Smashes 4.6M TXs but Stuck at 8 Cents

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

First up, the network got a real workout. A community-led stress test pushed ~4.6 million transactions in about 35 minutes, with another report logging 4.62 million in 2,100 seconds – that’s roughly 2,200 transactions per second and a spike as high as 4,836 in a single second. Big throughput, small talk. And on kas.fyi, someone bragged about a new local max of 4,777 TPS. Nice flex… now we need clients and sustained use.

Second: the price soap opera at “eight cents.” We poked above it—“we broke 8c boys”—then got smacked back down, with folks blaming a persistent sell wall and finger-pointing at MEXC or Gate depending on the hour. Community mood swings ranged from “end boss at 0.08” to “back to 7c,” with pure fatigue at seeing that line tested again and again.

Third: eyes on a Sunday stunt. A few diehards are planning a run at “200 million transactions in a day.” The math? They say they need about 2,320 TPS sustained and an extra 20,000 UTXOs to make it sing. Is it practical… or just for the memes? Either way, it’s the talk of the town.

Fourth: miners and economics—real talk. There’s growing tension about fees being too tiny to matter, worries that mining is propped up mostly by the block subsidy, and gripes that middleware captures the lion’s share. Add hardware churn—mentions of Bitmain’s KS7 and how new units crush older rigs—and you’ve got heated debates on sustainability and whether a priority/auction fee model is needed.

Fifth: the wider market mood crept in. One message flagged a single short liquidation worth about 26.2 million dollars on Binance—risk washing through the system—and chatter noticed Zcash doing a “+100%” day while folks joked Kaspa can’t clear eight cents. Alt season leaves no feelings unhurt.

Quick honorable mentions: some claimed Chainge finance is selling and referenced past tens of millions in KAS – presented as community allegations, not verified news; plenty of back-and-forth on exchange listing lore; and yes, more “8c party?” messages than anyone asked for. Stay hydrated.

That’s it for today’s pulse. Breathe, zoom out, and remember: big throughput experiments are cool… but sticky, real usage is cooler. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. Catch you then.
