Kaspa Holds Strong as Hackathon Push Heats Up

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

First up, market drama with a Kaspa twist. While people were watching Bitcoin wobble around the hundred-thousand area and calling for dumps to ninety-seven or even eighty-nine, Kaspa actually held the line around five cents, with folks pointing out a big buy wall on MEXC – roughly ten million KAS sitting at just over five cents. That wall started around twelve million and has been getting eaten, and people are joking that Kas looks like a “stablecoin at five cents” while everything else bleeds. Some are even talking about Kas/BTC having bottomed out over the last month and maybe starting to decouple a bit.

Now, behind the memes, there’s a real builder thread: the long-promised Kaspa hackathon. The community keeps bringing up that around ten thousand dollars in prizes were donated by a community member specifically for a hackathon, and they’re now asking where those funds sit and how to finally use them. There’s talk of rewarding three to five projects, maybe something like five K, three K, one K and a couple of smaller “special mention” prizes. People are debating criteria – new, open-source apps, significant changes to existing tools, best dev tooling, best UX – and also how much work this is: registering on a hackathon platform, legal stuff, docs, landing page, judges, promotion… the whole package. A few volunteers have raised their hands; others are still in full “I’m here for money, not work” mode.

On the sentiment side, it’s peak Kaspa psych ward energy. You’ve got doomers calling “it’s jover,” predicting three-cent bottoms and talking about buying back in at exactly that level… while others swear we’ll see ten cents, forty cents, or even seventeen dollars someday. Some people admitted they sold everything around five-point-two or five-point-three cents to wait for that mythical three-cent entry. At the same time, you’ve got die-hards saying “Kaspa is the last hope for crypto,” that it’s the only coin that makes sense, and that Kaspa is your “master career to become a millionaire… in cents.” Long-term vibes range from “Black Friday for Kaspa” to “my bag will be thick for twenty-twenty-eight alt season.”

And finally, CEX and Binance salt is still flowing. The “Binance tomorrow” meme keeps getting spammed, but it’s pure sarcasm – people are roasting Binance for allegedly asking for supply while still not listing Kas, and joking it’ll be the only exchange without KAS. There’s a lot of frustration about VC scamcoins getting listings and love, while Kaspa has to “win minds” the hard way… but also a stubborn confidence that math and the BlockDAG will win in the long run. Builders keep building, even if price chat is pure chaos.

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