Kaspa Hits Five Cents as Community Debate Heats Up

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

First up… price chat totally dominated the room. Folks were celebrating a “five-cent party” with multiple callouts around $0.04999 to about $0.05205, and posts claiming roughly +5% to +13.8% on the day. People were hyped about KAS looking strong versus BTC, and you could feel that “we’re so back” energy creeping in. At the same time… classic Kaspa mood swing: half the messages were “LFG,” and the other half were “we’re cooked,” “dump,” and “refund,” like it’s a sport.

Second highlight: broader market context got dragged in as an explanation for the move. Someone dropped a “live market context” snapshot: total crypto market cap around $3.26 trillion, BTC dominance around 57%, and the rest of the market around 43%. They also threw out estimates like ranks eleven through one hundred being about $263 billion, with smaller coins adding another $80 to $110 billion—landing around $340 to $375 billion total for “alts excluding top ten,” or roughly ten to eleven-and-a-half percent of the overall market. The vibe was basically: “market’s up in general… liquidity is returning… maybe people got tax money,” that kind of thing.

Third: the Ethereum “trilemma solved” debate spilled right into Kaspa land. A shared snippet claimed Vitalik said Ethereum solved the trilemma using zero-knowledge EVMs plus PeerDAS, with code already on mainnet and a rollout over the next few years—though full rollout and final security were described as still pending. Kaspa folks pushed back hard, saying Ethereum is “spawn-camping” Kaspa brains, arguing about who deserves credit for ideas like including orphan blocks, and dunking on “VC stuff” and “parody versions.”

Last one: small-but-real ecosystem chatter. Someone said they’ve got a low-bandwidth CoinMarketCap-style site up, still fighting SSL issues, and planning to add a guestbook. And there were practical questions too—like how to resolve a KNS name to an address via an explorer, plus confusion about whether something supports KRC20 tokens or if it’s mainly about KNS domains.

Oh—and quick PSA from the chat: people flirting with leverage got reminded it’s “the devil’s way” to get wrecked. Keep it sane.

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