R&D Weekly
Weekly deep-dive into Kaspa R&D progress — protocol developments, covenant experiments, and technical milestones explained.
Kaspa R&D Weekly: Wallet pagination exposed a sync trap, while Argent merged stricter rules
A simpler way to fetch wallet data could reduce wasted work and developer mistakes, but the best API design remains unsettled.
Kaspa R&D Weekly: Silverscript v1 shipped, but safer contract tooling still has work ahead
Kaspa builders gained a firm new software milestone this week, while debates over wallet data, compiler requirements, and post-quantum security showed how much remains unsettled.
Kaspa R&D Weekly: Argent merged a safety framework for multi-contract apps, but key tooling still trails
Kaspa’s emerging application language gained stronger safeguards and a home of its own, while wallet compatibility and DAGKnight work advanced with important questions still open.
Kaspa R&D Weekly: Silverscript reached v1 release candidate, but its hardest test starts now
Kaspa’s high-level contract language is scheduled for a mainnet-ready v1 in one week, provided real contracts do not expose problems its reviews missed.
Kaspa R&D Weekly: A draft token standard exposed the wallet problem it still needs to solve
Kaspa’s proposed token rules reached public draft form, but a debate over how wallets identify compatible assets showed why publication is only the beginning.
Kaspa R&D Weekly: An Argent sync reached review, but SilverScript v1 may favor strictness over convenience
A proposed code update would align Argent with SilverScript’s latest work, while a small debate over byte conversions reveals how cautiously the language’s first version is being shaped.
Kaspa R&D Weekly: Private nodes connected automatically, but the real network test is still ahead
A devnet prototype crossed home-router barriers without manual port forwarding, opening a possible path to easier peer connectivity if mainnet testing confirms it works in the wild.
Kaspa R&D Weekly: A chain of hashes could let wallets accept payments without signing each one
A proposed one-time permission system offers wallets tighter control over incoming payments, but its deliberately narrow security model leaves an important question open.
Kaspa R&D Weekly: SilverScript’s new call tags could make contracts easier to use without a manual
Two small compiler proposals exposed a larger design choice: whether wallets can call common contract functions reliably without carrying contract-specific instructions.
A working exchange prototype made contracts simpler, but exposed the rules still missing
Kaspa’s experimental contract tools can now automate much of the plumbing behind multi-asset transactions, while token standards and shared on-chain data remain unsettled.
