Kaspa Builders Push On as Sentiment Splits

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

First up, the biggest “real” signal in the chat wasn’t price… it was builders. People were talking about the Kaspa hackathon, and someone checked the signup count: twelve people so far. The vibe was basically, “good start… but we want WAY more,” with folks throwing around targets like fifty, five hundred, even “make it a month-long thing,” and ideas like paying for reach on X to pull in more devs. The key detail: they said any app integrating with Kaspa is eligible, and the whole point is pushing creativity—apps that make Kaspa feel “relevant,” with that recurring theme of high reactivity, high throughput, and decentralization. There was even a “2026 objective” mention: a vProg edition of the hackathon. Translation: despite the doomposting, people are still trying to ship.

Second highlight: a genuinely interesting tech nugget popped up—someone celebrated sending and receiving payloads in transactions that tools like IFTTT can receive and then redistribute or manipulate… calling it an “ uncensorable webhook.” That spun into a practical convo about automation tooling, webhooks, and whether anything is better than IFTTT or less overpriced than Zapier. Not a full product drop, but it’s the kind of “wait… that’s useful” thread.

Third, the mood check. Sentiment was choppy. There was a lot of “it’s over / jover” energy, and people explicitly referenced the pain of “twenty cents to four cents.” At the same time, the chat flipped the moment there was even a tiny pump—then it was “don’t celebrate, it’s like half a cent,” plus comments that volume looked weak. Macro anxiety was floating too: some folks were watching Japan interest-rate talk, and a few were calling for a Bitcoin dump around the eighteenth to nineteenth—with the usual “if you expect dump, we pump” coping.

Quick extra: someone asked if the move was due to a “hard fork,” but the immediate answer was basically, “nah, just low volume.” And KRC20 got a quick “still active today,” even if a couple people sounded tired of memecoin-ish stuff.

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