HTX Delays, Igra Debate, Kaspa Tech Heats Up

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

First up… the HTX spot situation had people squinting at the fine print. The key line being passed around was: spot trading for KAS/USDT opens only when deposit volume “meets the demand”—and they’ll announce it officially in advance. Translation: deposits might be live, withdrawals might be available as soon as the twenty-fifth, but there’s still no firm spot trading date… and everyone noticed how open-ended that wording is.

Next highlight: vProgs talk got surprisingly technical—in a good way. People were clarifying that vProgs don’t do the heavy computation directly; the compute can happen elsewhere, then a proving VM generates a trace, and that trace gets executed and proved. Early on, the proving path being discussed was Cairo, with a longer-term idea of proving in more general environments—like a setup where anything that compiles to RISC-V could be provable. The vibe here was “this is powerful,” but also “it’ll need real testing and tooling before it feels effortless.”

Third: Igra chatter is back, and it’s split into two camps. One side is basically: “Igra in about a week or so,” plus talk of parking one thousand KAS into a pool with thirty percent APR. The other side is: “please delay it,” mostly because they don’t want the community leaning too hard on L2s. Even the more constructive folks were saying launches should happen only when the team is confident, and debating what a “reasonable share” looks like—some were hoping it stays under five percent.

Fourth: Kaspathon logistics are getting real. People asked for a dedicated mod to keep the channel clean, and the window being discussed was January sixteenth through February fifteenth. Also: a bunch of “please sign up” energy, and a tag so participants can find teammates.

Last vibe check: sentiment is… mixed, but engaged. There’s the usual “we’re doomed” doomposting, but right next to it you’ve got folks pushing adoption, arguing about what actually counts as marketing, and reminding everyone that building real stuff is the point. Classic Kaspa day.

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