Kaspa Shock: kas.fyi Shuts Down as Whales Accumulate

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

First up… a real community gut-punch: kas.fyi is shutting down, and people were instantly like, “uhh… how am I supposed to stalk top wallets now?” A couple alternatives got name-dropped — things like kaspa.stream and Kaslens — but the vibe was pretty clear: kas.fyi was a staple, and folks are bummed it’s going away.

Next highlight is the classic Kaspa split-screen: price pain on one side, builders cooking on the other. There was legit excitement around KIP-16 — someone said they’d already been playing with it pre-publication after contacting the author, and they were testing it locally to understand how it works. And that quickly bled into the bigger “when smart contracts?” conversation: people tossing around vProgs timelines, talking about wanting normie dapps, and even someone wanting to spin up a whole meme-coin ecosystem on Kaspa. Basically: the dev-adjacent crowd is hyped… and everyone else is like, “cool, but WHEN does it hit real users?”

Third, whale-watching popped off. One message claimed wallet number one-zero-one “just piled in,” with the rough size called out as about 14.1 million KAS, or around 673 thousand dollars at the prices being discussed. And that spiraled into the usual “who’s behind wallet one” theories, plus talk about big players hedging with shorts and accumulating over time.

Fourth highlight: macro hopium, because of course. There was a big thread about the Fed doing about 40 billion in Treasury-bill purchases, with people arguing it’s “QE-ish” in effect — more like liquidity plumbing than full-blown stimulus — and then stacking on extra speculation like rate cuts and even two thousand dollars per adult “stimmy check” talk tied to elections. The community was basically chanting “printer when?” in slightly fancier words.

Last thing worth flagging: someone noted node count declining, which got an immediate “wtf why,” plus a side-debate on whether Kaspa’s “floor” is miner economics or just… vibes. So yeah: mixed sentiment, but plenty of conviction and DCA energy still alive.

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