Kaspa Hashrate Up as Community Questions the Future

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

First up, a real network signal people actually noticed: hashrate. Folks were pointing out it moved from about 391 peta-hash to 417 peta-hash. Not a moon-boy moment, but it’s one of those “okay… SOMETHING is happening under the hood” datapoints that cuts through the noise.

Next, the most interesting builder-talk of the day was around Kaspacom. People were wondering out loud if Kaspacom is trying to become “another L2,” and the vibe was that it might be inspired by Kasplex’s success… with some speculation that Kaspacom could lean into KRC-20 style stuff. What made this thread spicy wasn’t the speculation itself — it was the tech framing. One of the sharper takes described the bigger goal as off-chain execution with native state transitions, and the big flex being no fragmentation, no bridges, unified liquidity. Basically, a “don’t make me juggle ten ecosystems” vision.

Third highlight: the community did a bit of self-reflection on the meme-token era. The gist was… it got weird. People said minting made 1 bps not feel “cheap enough” for legit peer-to-peer activity, and that meme season messed with Kaspa’s culture for a while — “exploitative,” “zero-sum,” that kind of language. The more hopeful angle? A few folks think the culture is recovering, and maybe that messy phase was a lesson the community needed.

Fourth, sentiment today was… classic Kaspa Discord energy: doom jokes, but also stubborn conviction. You had people saying “hashrate low, price low, community low,” dunking on price predictions as basically “lines, man,” and tossing around “Kaspa to zero” like it’s a coping mechanism. But right next to that? Someone casually said they bought 19 thousand more KAS, and another story floated around about a person holding 600 thousand KAS hoping it eventually buys a home for their kids. That’s the emotional range in one scroll.

Last quick one: small but practical — folks were talking about bot defense for community spaces, basically pushing for captcha-style verification and warning that SMS verification can be a pain and still bypassable.

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