Kaspa Community Erupts Over Ecosystem Priorities

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

First up, the big one: Binance. Multiple chats circled the same claim – that Binance floated a listing ask around “3% of supply,” framed by folks as roughly “$40–$42 million.” That set off a firestorm: some argued for a community fundraiser with multisig or even a smart-contract escrow, while others said “FU Binance,” calling the price unrealistic and pushing back on paying at all. There were also practical worries about refunds if a pot only gets part-filled. Net-net: strong feelings, no consensus, and talk of “still negotiating” from some corners.

Now, Wallet #1: who owns it? Today’s chatter leaned hard into “it’s Gate.io’s cold wallet,” citing Gate’s proof-of-reserves around “880M KAS” versus Wallet #1 showing about “1.153B.” Others pushed back that the math/time series don’t fully line up, and a few tossed “Wintermute?” into the mix. Bottom line from the room: we don’t actually know, and “Wallet 1 hype turned out to be a fart.”

Tangem watch: the mood soured when folks said Tangem Pay is rolling out on Polygon, not Kaspa, after a couple days of hopium. The immediate clapback was, “How would they even do Kaspa? We don’t have stables.” Several voices repeated that bridged stables would likely cost “9 figures,” so… not tomorrow.

Strategy pivot talk: if there’s tens of millions floating around in these debates, some want it pointed at the home front – “spend $42M on ecosystem developers” for an L1 DEX, decentralized oracles, vProgs, and real DeFi rails… not on a one-time CEX toll. That “build vs. bribe” line got traction today.

Finally, vibes & volatility: the room clocked a sudden pump – “random 20%” talk, lots of “PUMP” posts, and shout-outs to a mic-drop tweet from Yonatan that “ratio’d Binance,” before the mood cooled again. Classic crypto: cheers, memes, then… debate about whether the dump is “over.”

Quick takeaway? The community’s split between paying the toll and building the road. The only thing everyone agrees on: we want Kaspa everywhere… just not at any price.

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