I was fortunate enough to witness the process behind this upgrade up close. Half a year ago, the only thing we knew was that Kaspa had to become programmable, ASAP. This notion matured into a surprisingly complete and elegant solution in a very short period of time. Building a development framework is a massive task, so the first attempts were to harness KIP-16's ZK verification opcodes to tap into existing ZK development frameworks, but we did not find a good enough fit. One weekend Ori sat down with some leftover tokens, and Silverscript came out the other side. The project grew quickly, and the compiler now enables a wide range of applications to be written and deployed directly on Kaspa in a high-level language (thanks to KIP-17 and KIP-20). KIP-21 deserves its own post, but it allows for complex ZK-based applications and is a fundamental component of the full vProgs solution. Together, all these turn Kaspa into an impressively expressive programmable money layer. From simple vaults, through basic contracts to complex multi-contract applications, alongside privacy apps and scalable batch-proving-based applications. Toccata is the outcome of pure R&D -- deep research and hardcore development, done fast and in parallel (how fitting). There’s still much work to be done to make the new capabilities more approachable, but it’s hard to understate the power, elegance, and completeness of what the best money layer in the world will soon allow us to express. @michaelsuttonil @Max143672 @OriNewman @IzioDev - Watching you guys work has been a masterclass. Thank you.

Tomorrow it's finally time for the first community hangout! Kaspa Under the Hood: Setting the Stage for vProgs Grab a beer, coffee, tea, or whatever keeps you going, and join us for the first regular Kaspa community hangout. We will start with a high-level presentation of the upcoming vProgs architecture and Kaspa’s next stages of development. Since the architecture is extensive, this first session is meant to set the stage for future deep dives. The presentation is meant to be accessible to people with different technical backgrounds. We will take things step by step, build up the necessary context, and gradually develop a shared understanding of Kaspa’s architecture, trade-offs, and long-term vision. After that, we will move into a relaxed open discussion where people can ask questions, share ideas, and talk about anything interesting: Kaspa, decentralized infrastructure, incentives, technology, philosophy, or the future of humanity. Bring your ideas and questions, grab a drink, and join the conversation! discord.com/events/5991532…

@Crux_of_Crypto I’ll take a few days to gather myself, and then I’ll do my best to educate and share as much as possible too
